I haven't seen Paul Amy's article this week, but it was discussed on SEN during Thursday nights show ...

Very dissapointing if true. Surely that's the end of Preston Football Club in any meaningful fasion.

Stoney's right to be concerned about the future direction of the competition.

If they sell their name, they sell their soul.

Just like North Ballarat who said they would never align, and whinging about the number of AFL listed players that were playing against them.

In typical Nth Ball fashion, thats all quickly forgotten and the convenience of the current is always what was considered best.

If ever there was a football club that sold out and forgot about what they have said in the past its your guys.

Don't start flinging any more stones at others.

If you cant beat them join them.
North Ballarat realised that if you want any success in this lop sided competition you have to get on a level playing field as all the others.
I dont want to bag Frankston but maybe that is the reason as to why you have had no success even after murdering all that hard earned on ex Richmond hacks when Rhys Jones was coach.
I'm sure that Frankston would have jumped at the chance of an alignment if any AFL club had shown an interest.

Just proves again that you don't have a clue.

Hard to argue against the facts.

Agreed. Don't know why you persist.

well dolfin sometimes you have to make the big decisions in life ,to help your club be successful,when you have nothing to prove in the competition you are in,and give your players a chance to play in a better comp rather than lose them.the spin off to the Ballarat Footy League has been benificial to that comp with players going back to teams and some as coaches.The younger players from the area have somewhere to aim for especially the Rebels who dont get drafted.It hasnt happened overnight,if we have sold out where is the money?we are like all others work hard off the ground as well as on it.Bad luck your council is not as supportive as ours,and you are going through a hard time,youth is the secret,along with experienced players,i think you have a good coach,help him and dont worry what we are doing,Macey needs it,and so does the comp.

So diggsy do you not call Port Melbourne getting to the Grand Final success? What about Frankston being one kick away from the prelim? With the way things are going at Arden St you guys might be looking for a new partner.
