Re: HFL Division 1 (Central)

It’s been said that several players are getting paid by a certain real estate agency in excess of the cap. These high profile recruits won’t be coming for a couple hundred buck a game either. Heard the other day from a former crows top up it could be getting looked into

If so, they may need to ...

Re: SAAFL Cup - A la FA Cup - Possible or not?

Could work in a 20 minute halves concept with multiple matches at venues.

e.g. 3 teams playing each other once (2 games) to get one winner to progress or 4 teams playing KO games to get one winner to progress.

You would need to have 3 games of 20 minute halves in the early rounds to turn 3 into 1 ...

Re: Points System Is Crucifying Country Footy

Points can be policed by anyone and infringements can be quickly and easily noted and penalised.

Salary caps are easily circumvented which defeats the purpose (e.g. skimming of gate takings to pay cash in hand, third party payments, raffles being diverted to players without going through the books ...

Re: WA Grassroots Footy Book

Things are progressing well with the trips around W.A. and the book writing - the book will be just over 400 pages at this stage. I am still working
on a publisher at this stage but I am still hopeful of a March/April 2017 release for the book.

I initially hoped that I would see 70 games for the ...

Re: Clearances - 2017

It's never been about numbers of players, it's the rest of the CFL failing to live up to their side of the TPPS bargain
Set a more reasonable figure and I'm sure everyone would of been on board.
Also no reason for the points system if there is a salary cap, has to be one or the other

Should be ...

Re: Murray Valley Football League (formerly RIFL)

These footy and netball clubs are the heart and soul of rural communities. They need to be and should be better funded.

But no. Next we are going to have a magic round (which we pay for) so even more money to the top. The AFL has spent hundreds of millions on GWS and the Gold Coast and very ...

Re: Concussion

I call BS - especially at senior level - it's very well documented that helmets do zero to stop concussion.

That said, Many junior comps in Victoria have a compulsory helmet rule.

If you normalise it from juniors, it doesn't become an issue

Mouthguards do more than helmets to prevent the ...

Re: League v Seniors or As

In WA, it is League.

It stems back from 1921, when the WAFL absorbed the WAFA and made it their reserves competition. The competitons were actually managed separately for a number of years and were referred to as the WAFL and WAFA.

The WAFL team was the one with the higher standing and it wasn't ...
