marbles, pull your head in. We won a flag in D6 without paying a cent. And where did we say we wouldn't try and pay players?

Buy a Lions membership and help out if you're that interested.

As i drove past the Maid of Auckland today i saw a few Mitchell Park footy jumpers around the front. Mad Monday following a premiership is one of the best days around!

Hopefully your timing was good enough that you didn't see the nudey run.

In other news...it looks like Angle Vale has been accepted to the APFL

[Bigshow82]

Have they been accepted or their members have voted to apply for affiliation with APFL for the 2016 season?

Probably a mix up with lingo I'd suggest.,,

We paid a coach, who also played - counts IMO. We sponsored players by waiving fees for subs, shorts, socks. We also chipped in to help with some moving costs. We also found work for a few players.

They're all "payments" in my book. Incentives, payments, lures, carrots whatever.

Mix in lingo yes, but the total of 'incentives' was less than $2k. As I also said we payed out less this year to win a flag than we did last year to get flogged by 40 goals and win one game. End of story.

good luck getting to div 6 finals if youre never gonna pay for a bit of talent in your squad

another crap div 6 year ahead for MP?

We did it this year, you don't have to pay players to make div 6 finals mate

BOS won the div 6 GF in 07,14 without paying. If its still the same as it used to be the only payment comes when you receive best player at awards.

Hopefully in the long term this leads to an exit from NEMJFA too. Bloody ridiculous distance to travel for young kids games in a City/Suburban comp

Nope, that will never happen, they have too many grades in the NEMJFA, although not ideal, the NEMJFA really needed to zone when they accepted the CDJFL.
Could've played north ve south association matches and had a game the week after all of the Grand Finals with the winners of each division playing off for a "Champion's Cup", well that's my two bobs worth anyway as the merge affected me as a coach and an umpire.

Agree, I've been part of Angle Vale v PNU matches that have been played at 6:30 on a Friday Night.

Any coach/parent who is involved with the away team and works full time has not a hope in hell of getting there for report time. I would have thought some common sense could be used.

Boy o boy have they got some work to do then. APFL would be what - Div 3? Div 4?

If they go in with the same side as this year they'll get beat by 40 goals every week.

and that's no disrespect at all, so would we probably.

[Footy Chick]

I still don't think it's a given, the APFL still need to formally accept them yet.

But yes, everyone appears to be of the same opinion regarding scorelines

Yep, timing is the essence and I think their timing is too late or too early on this one. Their window was well and truly open up until 2013, they might not have set the world on fire but they would've been competitive against the bottom 3 or 4 sides.
I think they need a two year plan to get in there, have sustainability and set up the country feel that is the APFL, if they walk in there and get pantsed it's going to be hard commuting to Lochiel with low morale.
Good luck to them, I've been a massive advocate for the move since Angle Vale opened their doors and more so since they've established their own home, it's a wonderful set up out there and with the right people at the helm setting the right culture, it would be a very attractive place for prospective players, especially in such a growing community where the housing has nearly met each other between Munno Para and Angle Vale.
I wonder how it affects the "local" rules or if the new points system has no bearing, I haven't delved too much into that.

Can't be any worse than Hamley Bridge then

Some of the NEMJFA programming is pure snot, no disrespect to you guys but travelling to Walkies or PNU for a 6:30pm Friday night game is crazy for any side that isn't east of the city, I think they look at kilometres rather than traffic.
I don't envy the task but I think some feedback from people that have to try and commute might help.

Would have thought there should be a lot more "geographic" common sense exercised in the Friday night games. I.e Gaza/Broadview/Hectorville/Walkerville/PNU/Athelstone put in one group who can play Friday Night Matches amongst each other, TTG/Modbury/Golden Grove/Hope Valley in another, Ingle Farm/Pooraka/Para Hills/Gepps Cross in another, Old CDJFL teams in another.

Wouldn't have thought it was too hard.

Sadly common sense isn't that common joski!
