I did see a team sheet a couple of weeks ago and you blokes were on 15 points which i found interesting.
Yeah we're maxed out on points. Bit of a flaw in the system in my opinion.
Of our guys that we retained from last year - Walczak, Roberts, Regan - they're all two points still - so that's 6. Then any SFL recruit that have played A Grade in 2015, they're instantly 3 points - Halime and Farrell, so that's another 6. So we're up to 12 points with only *two* new recruits! Add the 2x Para Hills guys are we're maxed out.
The league needs to seriously consider a little bit more pragmatism and flexibility with the APPS. We're a club one and half seasons out from being on our deathbed and only having one side, 2015 we finished 5th in D7 with an 8-8 record. Yeah, we manged to snag a flag but we are now competing against already strong D6 clubs and unluckily relegated D5 sides with exactly the same amount of points to recruit with - makes it tough.
Its been a huge issue for us this year trying to manage it and to be it has limited our recruiting (and selection) options.
Have you tried recruiting players that have played previously with you so they're worth 0 points? One of the reason Flinders Park have improved. Big focus was getting ex players/juniors back to the club
