Bendigo FL discussion 2025

[ROOTA#6]

This is becoming more common—great players heading to district football. I wonder why?

To be fair to Shannon he lives in Marong and has given his all to Strathfieldsaye and Bendigo Footy.

I’m not just talking about Shannon. There appears to be a shift in players going to district leagues.

They aren’t taking a young up and coming gun out of the comp.
He has been a good player in the BFL for a long time, and would have turned down better offers over the years.
The lower standard might allow him to play an extra few years.
There is still a fair gap between bfl and LFVL. And NCFL and HDFL for that matter.

Is he still coaching a junior side at Strath?

Apparently he is going to continue coaching the under 16’s at strath. Coached my eldest this year and was brilliant. Harry will always remember his season being coached by Shannon

Good to hear they’ve changed their tune this time around after what they told him a year or 2 ago.
