I wouldn't have an issue with this if it was stated in the rules. The problem I see is that there's nowhere in the rules that says the teams should be re-ranked after the first round of finals. The rules only talk about the rankings at the end of the scheduled season. The way I read it, St Pats...

So does anyone know if St Pats are going to challenge the decision? If there's nothing in the rules that says the rankings change after the first round of the finals then surely St Pat's should be premiers. If Lavington had beaten Wodonga in the semi then they would have been the highest ranked...

Bit of talk around the traps yesterday regarding the rankings and whether or not Wodonga should have been awarded the premiership. Haven't looked at the rules myself but the word is that the rules on CAW's website only mention rankings at the end of the scheduled season. If there's nothing in...

Any thoughts on who might be inducted? Couple of ex-Lavi players who were nominated last time would have to be just about sure things. Dave Coulston and Steve Wright. Can't remember who else was nominated. Any others that weren't eligible last time that would be a chance?

Anyone read the profiles in the Border Mail today? How's Robbie Jackson's form? Question - "Who is your most important player?" - Jacko "Probably the coach I would have thought". Ha, talk yourself up why don't you! The next question should've been "Who has the biggest ego?" Although he's...

Thanks BBTC, you've illustrated my point perfectly. All those talented juniors and yet you still go and chase players from other clubs (oh sorry, that's right, they all approached you). How many of those kids do you think are happy to see Tonkin, Ball, Klein-Boonschate and Saker walk into the...

Or use the Wodonga method - poach as many players as you can from other clubs and leave all your talented kids in the seconds. There's a great way to make your club a place people want to go for free! I bet Spike is rapt that he left Lavi when he finds out that he has to fight for a spot with...

Maybe Wodonga should change their name to Lavington and be done with.

Wodonga looking for an import? Haven't they imported enough this off season? I bet last year's players are going to be rapt when they get picked in second grade at the start of the season.

Did I read it right in the Border Mail that 75% of clubs have to vote AGAINST the idea of playing one dayers for the proposal to be scrapped? If that's the case then it'll only take 5 of the 19 clubs to vote for it and it'll happen? Surely a change this big needs more than 5 votes? The...

Raider Boi, I think your comment about developing your junior players is the big problem here. You said it yourself, you're two or three years away from those players having an impact. You finished fifth in District and now you're going to step up into Provincial. Maybe you should've applied in...

So, let me get this straight. We scrap promotion/relegation and then promote two teams who weren't even good enough to make the Grand Final in District? What a joke! New City keep talking about how good their juniors are but they only had one junior side make a grand final last year and they...

Only guessing here but wouldn't be surprised if North's pick up is Andrew Lade. There's been rumours about him going back for a couple of years and he's probably more likely to now that Jack's gone.

Couldn't agree more Mick. Whatever happened to the good old days where loyalty to your club was important? Can't believe a premiership captain would walk out on his mates and his club to play with one bloke. Can't imagine guys like Rod Barton, Steve Wright or Heath Naughton ever walking out on...

A premiership captain walking out on his club? Poor form James. Word on the street is that he wanted Ball back at Lavi and Lavi didn't want him back. Doesn't reflect well on the CAW coach when two of the most successful clubs in the competition don't want anything to do with him.

A word of advice Big Bird. If you want to have two users names so that you can talk yourself up on here you shouldn't use the term "Etc etc" in posts from both of them. Also putting .... in the middle of your sentences is a dead giveaway. Good luck though. I'm sure someone will inbox you for...
