Someone told me youve got a lot of army(?) new guys playing with you
Not stirring - just interested
good point and we have had only two to three players attract points under the system
out of the 14 to 15 army guys we got only 7 have played afl before
the rest are all rugby or touch football players and their for new to the game
as well as that the majority of the squad,and we have 50 players now registered,are re-entering the game after years out
the players we have attracted from other clubs were mainly b and c grade players that were not wanted by their clubs but to my way of thinking were not appreciated by their former homes
we have attracted three points under the new system even tho we were given an excemption and allowed to go to a higher amount
hope that answers your post
You sure this is the case? Im sure bedgie and a couple of others were wanted by there clubs.
never had one hassle for clearance and were cleared same day as sent through
thats all i can go by
if they had been truly appreciated by former clubs i would have thought they might have put up a fight imo
Appreciate what you're doing at Ovies Dee Man, but I will argue a point here. Mawson Lakes did clear a player to you guys this season, and the player in question WAS appreciated at ML, but after going into sudden retirement, decided that he might have another go at it, with Ovingham. Why would we deny a bloke we had no issues with and was financial last season, the right to a game of footy. Now Ovies and the player wanted their clearance in through quickly so they could rush him into their Round 1 side, so we obliged. If you interpret that as we didn't appreciate the said player then so be it, but why would we want to upset Ovingham and burn the bridges to a bloke we have no problems with?
