BENDIGO Bank Bombers chairman David Joss yesterday said the 2010 model for the football club was already proving a success - on and off-field - and benefiting the local football league.
“The new alignment model is unique to the VFL and it is working very well,’’ Joss said.
“It allows for the Bendigo Bombers to remain aligned to Essendon, field a VFL senior side only and release those players not selected to play with their aligned local club which has been great for Bendigo football.’’Joss made his comments following a media report questioning the Bendigo partnership with Essendon.
“The licence required to play in the VFL is still held between AFL-Vic and the Bendigo Bombers.
“We also remain an aligned club but, because we no longer have a reserves team, AFL-Vic has fit us under the same player-rule structure as applies to the Geelong and Collingwood Football Clubs.
