EDFL Div 2 discussion 2025

[leo tolstoy]

What a waste of time for burnside.
They’ve came a long way and now will be starting again essentially. The outgoing president should be ashamed of himself. All he has done throughout the years is preach club first, he has put the club 20 steps backwards on his way out

Have heard there are issues beyond the salary cap breach for the club to have to deal with.

Fact is BH seniors were and have been irrelevant since their inception up till last year when they were a contender. Reason they become a contender is because they attracted blokes who were good players in that comp and that comes at a price(just like any other club in every other division who win enough games to contend). So lay off the Pres and past committee , they had a go and gave the club some hope, put smiles on supporters and players faces. Now under the microscope and unwilling to pay over the Cap they will go back to being irrelevant.

Very well said. Could have been any number of the dozens of clubs in the EDFL who have paid over the cap. They just got caught. Justin was a great ambassador for that club. My respect remains.

A copping their whack rather than lawyering up.

May not have had any money left for such a throw at the stumps.
Perhaps they should've hit Keilor up for a loan of there people and sorted out an AfterPay type arrangement.
