Will hopefully enter Big V in D1M and D1W next year.
There will not be any Knox teams in BIg V or seabl so this will give the kids in the area an opportunity to continue to play and develop their games.
From what I'm hearing will be very competitive straight up.
If BigV allow this to occur they have completely lost the plot.
Right.. so looking at Knox's current SEABL list and the movements of players from this team for next year i can only see at best 3 or 4 Knox juniors actually impacted by the decision to withdraw from SEABL. If they're good enough those players will either move to State Champ or other SEABL programs.
Knox will be running a YL program again so those players are secure with somewhere to play for 2015, so where is the rest of this team coming from? Other BigV teams?
What association will this team represent? Isnt that the purpose of BigV? If they represent Knox why not call it Knox Raiders?
Will they commit to BigV for 3 years? Or just come and go in 2 years and disrupt the competition?
Seems like just another way to dilute an existing pool of talent in BigV for the purpose of stroking a few egos.
Blackburn, Ringwood, Sherbrooke and Waverley all offer alternative places for them to play if they're good enough.
Boronia Bulldogs hahahaha Nothing more than A couple of coaches trying to secure themselves a senior gig.

Buffaloes have entered Big V in State Championship for 2015 and have been accepted.

If that's true then the must have the funding and the players to enter this level
I Call BS.
BigV have to have approval from all the member clubs before anyone enters or moves.
Nothing can be approved until their AGM.

Hey anon you are talking rubbish and ruining the reputations of all us other anon's. Big V have not accepted boronia. In fact I think this whole issues is a hoax and you are all getting sucked in to the BS.
I think they are just a domestic club at Knox, nothing more but hey other clubs such as Blackburn started off as domestic clubs.
Just googled them and checked out their website
http://www.foxsportspulse.com/club_info.cgi?clubID=137148&c=0-2307-0-0-0
The look pretty organised for a domestic club and have lots of sponsors
Best of luck to them, I know they will get bagged on here but that's just the tall poppy situation all over again
If they can salvage something from the Knox situation it can only be a good thing
No way in hell will the other clubs vote this in. So no matter how bad Knox want it it`s not going to happen in an area that is already full of BIG V sides.
Nunna, Dandy and kilsyth offer SEABl for the cream of the crop if any
Ringwood, Sherbrooke and Waverley offer state champ for the decent players
Blackburn, Warrandyte, Keysborough offer a place for the next tier down or youthies graduating.
Most clubs would support it.
Why not? What is so bad about it?
Support what? potentially losing their players to a domestic team entering BigV?
Why you apply as a new club you have to show you are not going to be a club that is here today and gone tomorrow.
Knox will obviously want to go back into SEABL down the track meaning them teams will be withdrawn leaving a hole in what ever division they are in.
unless they go down the Geelong route and maintain a BIG V divisional pressence.

You'd think that unless Boronia had plans for at least a 3-5 year commitment to the Big V sticking them stright into Champ or D1 would be fraught with danger as they might roll back under the "raiders" banner when they sort out there financial position.
A club the size of Knox would most likely want to go back into SEABL once they are in a viable position to re-enter which based on what i'm hearing might be 2-3 years away depending on the shake out of a few things.
That's enough time for Raiders to get rid of Shannahan. Perfect world.
Also let's him out of jail, all his SEABL players weren't returning anyway cause they cant stand him.
Shame - I wanted to see his arrogance get a reality check.
All his players not returning, another idiot with no idea
