The same bullshit promise that they may be picked up in a future draft. It won't happen, they are top up players.Dave The Man wrote:Then how are the Peptide Bombers getting De-Listed players to join them?Culprit wrote:In general it is an interesting year for Collingwood VFL as well as many other VFL Clubs.

why are the local leagues doling out so much cash? what's in it for them? do they get more funding, do they have major benefactors? how can they afford to do this?
Purveyor of sanctimonious twaddle.

I keep asking the same questions. You have blokes with Money and Ego's and it's a game to them. Some clubs have benefactors and some clubs don't. That is why the clubs with money are up the top and clubs without are down the bottom. When the money runs out the clubs up the top free fall and in many cases fall a few divisions. You have sponsors and money raised from gate takings and beer/food sales. John, I would make your head spin with what I know.John Wren wrote:Culprit wrote:In general it is an interesting year for Collingwood VFL as well as many other VFL Clubs.
