I never said anything about the number of players they had. I agree if its an ongoing issue then it has to be dealt with no question about it.If it’s just one week then everyone will just get on with it but if it’s ongoing then I’m sorry to say that Wimmera League and VCFL rules dictate that all clubs in the Wimmera Football League must fields a reserves side.
If you didn’t have 12 players on Thursday night tell us why then you president has been lying through the local media saying that you did? You can’t blame others for forming opinion on what the president says is fact. If you calling him a liar then so be it.
Are you saying Bligh’s retirement has nothing to do at all with the current support at the club?
Bligh's retirement is for exactly what he has said its about his ongoing battle with injuries. He was told sometime ago that he wouldnt play again after his persistant thumb issues. If you play the game and continually have injuries or play with injuries then you also lose you passion for the game. Dale has indicated he wants to still be involved in the club. His wife Kate continues to play netball and he always has his young family down there. If he didn't feel supported then he would leave all together wouldn't he. I congratulate Dale on an awesome career he has been very good player for a long time which has netted him a toohey medal and a premiership medal. Good on ya Dale all the best mate for the future, shame that your career has ended prematurally. Top bloke and a top player and will be missed on the field.
