That you Turbo?Very good pickup for PV in Allen from Noble Park. Playing at Pacco for little coin but heard how great the culture is and that players only play there for the love of the jumper....
Allen could be the best small fwd in the Comp. minimum of 40 goals from him next yearVery good pickup for PV in Allen from Noble Park. Playing at Pacco for little coin but heard how great the culture is and that players only play there for the love of the jumper....
I heard on the grapevine during the week that Lachie Hansens asking price is 3K per game? Surely not. Turbo r u sponsoring him so he plays at Pacco? Its all about the jumper!Allen could be the best small fwd in the Comp. minimum of 40 goals from him next year
Don’t know how they’re all going to fit in under the points cap come finals time. Could be some dissension within the ranks when one or more of the high pointers can’t be fitted in.I heard on the grapevine during the week that Lachie Hansens asking price is 3K per game?

Also let’s hope the leagues integrity officer is vetting player payments very closely. Just can’t see any way Pacco can come in under the salary cap.
Turbo, what’s your take on this?
One being a past club B&F winner and the other an elite player of the competition who on his day is a match winner. Good smart recruiting I reckon.
Nice one old mate, let's hope he doesn't get the wanders again.
Certainly been one poor decision made within a group of mates.
What players need to comprehend is that one poor decision can have an adverse effect on any future moves. The additional point for constant moving rather than settling and taking the annual point reduction makes some unattractive to clubs.
Can play & hopefully settles for a period.
Very handy in EFL - Good signingThat's a big call

Local footy is practically a 2nd job these days. Why would they risk injury and loss of income at their clubs for a jumper which given most if not all of the best 40-50 players in the comp have all played at elite levels (tac, state leagues, afl) would mean very little to them. If the edfl picked a young average team they would get flogged, no one would watch and everyone would sook about it being a waste of time, can’t win either way so better off focusing their resources into juniors as they have suggested they will doI see EDFL not participating in the Senior Vic Metro Championships next year citing financial reasons.
Here's a Tip fella's , stop paying players to play in it. Players should want to represent their League without financial inducements.
It is LOCAL FOOTY after all

Practically a 2nd job, but it's NOT a 2nd job , it is Local Footy, Local Sport...
Your argument is based on the Selfish attitude of 95% of players. Its all about me me me me me and that attitude has stuffed Local Sport
Ask your President, committee members, canteen volunteers why do they spend so much of "their time", giving up precious time with their families, opportunities to earn additional money, clean rooms, stock fridges, sell food and drink, meet with "players", entice sponsors, hours of administration, organizing functions/apparel, working tirelessly for hours and hours each week to keep your club going?
I'll give you a tip what the answer might be - "Because it means something to them".
If you need to be paid so that representing the Competition means something, well that probably goes a long way to show what kind of individual you are.
