We know the reason behind the rule (12 game rule etc) was to stop teams dropping their 'cream of the crop', which to a degree it does help with.

Then teams like Miramar found a hole - but I think they have (or are looking) to close that one too. Did they add something about National League players this year?

And Nelfoos I am sorry, but Vic Uni do have a pretty poor history of flouting or completely ignoring the rules re dropping players. I believe you need some form of casual registration to help you during the holidays. Just an idea.

Oh absolutely, I agree entirely. There's new set of coaches on the women's side (cant' speak for the men's I'm not involved with that side of the club at all) and we are taking this seriously. We've done the casual registration thing this year and that's why this rule isn't a big issue for us this season.

We're making sure we're within the rules now but for a club like Uni with a relatively revolving door of coaches and players different people will take different approaches. We've decided to operate 100% within the rules and have planned for it, other coaches have not had that same attitude in the past. Given the Miramar situation last year, as a club we can't be seen to be complaining about the rules on one hand and breaking the exact same rules on the other.
