I think they have some shooters, nunawading could have used them today
Nunawading went selfish today. That's why they lost.
Adam Doyle has done his acl so he's out for next season
in the women,wilson,richards,greaves,donald and may should get picked up. likely bendigo,nunawading and frankston
May is a Nunawading Jnr (despite what Knox seem to claim) so she could end up back there I guess.

May is totally overrated
Sure she can shoot but not much good at anything else.

Aver to franga. Hare to footy. Page to DV. Grant and Cope already quit. Carter won't play for Shanahan again. YL coach and players have no respect for Shanahan.
Shutting senior program down May be a blessing in disguise. Hopefully Shanahan will move on. Bring back Longstaff in 2 years to rebuild.
Where do u get this from? Grant and Cope haven't quit, there isn't a problem between carter and shanahan. Just keep making things up

No big v team. Grant and Cope have signed with Scoresby next year. Grant played last two games with Scoresby this year. Carter thinks Shanahan is not a person he can trust.
Am I making this up or are you out of touch? I would suggest you do some research and talk to these guys as I have. Or talk to Scoresby.
Apology accepted anonymous in advance of you doing some research before shooting your mouth off.
Carter happy to play for shanahan again, grant moving to sydney for work
You have to feel sorry for all kids coming through the junior ranks now having nothing to aspire to at knox and all the youth league players with no team, I wonder if this will hurt their junior teams with kids going to other clubs with senior teams
With Chambers already gone Richards and Wilson were never going to return. They only played for mutual respect of each other. You have to remember Chambers had no spot for Allen because of her long standing association with Gabe and Kel. Greaves will definately be scooped up and rightly so, my guess Frankston as she studies down there. May and Quirk will most likely follow but Donald not sure she may just stop - didn't exactly kill it, slow and not good IQ.
Given the strength of Frankston's list and possible junior component requirement for their snr team how many can they realistically take? and secondly they'd have to compete for spots on merit too.

At the meeting of the members last week Knox announced there would be Youth teams still.

Theres no money at Frankston unless your prepared to pay for petrol money.
Sherbrooke State Champ Women will be circling like Sharks over this one. Have to assume Blackburn BIG V as well.
Talk is a SEABL employee also current knox coach, the old knox youth coach and current knox youth coach are heading up their own SEABL team for next year? How does that process work? Is it possible?

Well that's a bit of good news if they still keep their youth teams, but don't they have to have either a SEABL or a bigv ch/div 1 team to be able to enter a youth team?

Rumour has it that they will have a Div 1 men's and women's team that will run on very little $$$ no player or coach payments complete volunteers. Also there may be a change from the Raiders nickname.
No you can have just youth Now, A umber of clubs are coming into BIG V just in youth as a start up.
Corio Bay did it this year with their youth women, aids clubs in not losing there good juniors to other clubs and lets the players develop if they are not ready for senior ball yet.

Forget all the rumours. There will be no senior or vic teams in 2015. Their priority creditors will not allow it if it Knox wanted to.
There was no mention at meeting about vic teams surviving. Boy some people have wild imaginations.
I'm sorry Anon I WAS at the meeting and it WAS absolutely stated very clearly there would be Youth teams competing. You obviously weren't there and are relying on info from others. The term under 23s was used so maybe yourself or your info source don't actually understand what that means!!!
If you're confused then maybe you should call the CEO to clarify your info before embarassing yourself on this forum. Give it a rest and lose the constant misinformation youre putting out there.

Sorry I was at the meeting. And I have since had it clarified. Be careful what you say about misinformation.
Had it clarified that there will be or wont be youth teams?

So will they have youth teams in big v or won't they?
Surely they would want to make that sort of thing loud and clear. Tryouts for senior teams will all be starting up in two weeks time.
If i was one of their players i would want to know if i should be looking elsewhere or not.
We have been told to be fair to us we should start looking at other clubs
How much would a ex SEABL player demand as a Sr Champ Big V player?
Don't believe everything you read here. There definitely is going to be Youth League teams. Anyone who says otherwise simply has no idea.
Have the current playing rosters been spoken to by the club?

They have a few months till the next tryouts , big v has only just finished doesn't begin again till March/April next year, so maybe time to get something together for them hopefully

Word on the street and coming from multiple internal and external sources says no YL team.
Crotty and Linossier are muted to be investigating setting up their own YL team under the banner of Boronia. They will take the Knox kids with them.
Is this true - not sure? But the jungle drums are getting louder!

So I gather this information is wrong too??

Knox just posted on website YL teams will exist next year.
Why couldn't they have come out before now to save all this disheartenment and gossip.
Poor form Knox.
Sucks for the kids and the players, but that is bad luck. If the club can`t feild the teams they shouldn`t be able to go through the back door. Most if not all would be able to find suitable alterantives elsewhere.
Why would you want to still be a part of something that has clearly been misleading and using you for so long?
If a smaller club was unable to pay to have a team in under their current banner would they be able to call themslves something else? NOPE so Knox shouldnt be able to either.
Take the hit, rebuild and come back bigger and bader.
Maybe Crotty & Linnosier should go to Frankston with their mates????????????????
On the mens side if they maintain YL there's no real loss for the program, none of them are ready for SEABL yet anyway and most of this years SEABL team wouldn't be back next year anyway.
Tread water for 2 years and re asses.
Anon people told you they where at the meeting and there would be youth league team's but you have to go on hearsay and say oh no there is not. so you win the medal for poor form. I would think knox would have enough things to do than monitor gossipers like yourself.
Oh i do hope they can get things sorted as we already have enough basketball stadiums turning into volleyball and swim centres
Anon said "Word on the street and coming from multiple internal and external sources says no YL team. Crotty and Linossier are muted to be investigating setting up their own YL team under the banner of Boronia. They will take the Knox kids with them."
Why are these people muted?
Yet then you said "Knox just posted on website YL teams will exist next year."
Amazing. So funny.
and i see some people have difficulty reading i said people that went to meeting said that there would be a yl not knox
So yes funny
