Money Shield 2024/25

[Left arm pies]

I dunno if you have looked around lately but the game is dying at grass roots level

Lower Eltham are competing with Eltham, Mont, Lower Plenty within 4km of each other. They don’t have a footy club connected to it so will always be at a disadvantage to their competitors

The points cap was just an unnecessary restriction placed on clubs when we have never ever had a major problem of clubs building dynasty’s in one off season.

And to go one step further, the parameters of the cap are all wrong anyway. Let’s use Lower Eltham as the test case, the lost 2 former juniors in Stanley and Felton this off season. If they were to head back to Lower Eltham in the future both would head back as 3 pointers. This is 100% incorrect and the rule needs to be amended, any player who heads back to a club they played juniors at should only be 1 point

I just think whether the points were there or not, it changes nothing for lower Eltham. Genuine question were they close to the points cap?

I’m talking about moving forward. Clubs have no chance to rebuild. If they want to bring in 6 new cricketers next year they can’t.

I understand the sentiment, but when has recruiting 6 players in one year actually lead to success? I feel like recruiting numerous players like that rarely works out for the better.

Ok say over two years… remember each player recruited is a minimum of 3 points and they don’t drop a point for 2 years..
