The McDonalds Ballarat FNL have today released details of how individual player points will be assessed for the 2021 season.
Based upon feedback provided to the CCSP sub-committee, the following protocols will be applied for the 2021 season across the region.
BFNL club Total Team Points for 2021 will be those as assessed for the 2020 season, each club’s total points being:
Bacchus Marsh | |
Ballarat | |
Darley | |
East Point | |
Lake Wendouree | |
Melton | |
Melton South | |
North Ballarat City | |
Redan | |
Sebastopol | |
Sunbury |
* Application being made to AFL Victoria to confirm additional points to a maximum 50 as per approved for 2020
For individual player points assessments:
- Any player that played with a community club and received a Season of Service deduction in 2019 and did not transfer or permit to another community club in 2020, may receive a 1 point reduction for 2020 as a season of service when assessing that Player’s Point value at that same Community Club prior to the 2021 Season.
This clause specifically refers to those players who were a multi-point player at the end of 2019 and remain with the club for 2021.
If clubs have retained players, it will free up points for additional recruiting for 2021. If they were at the top of their available points for 2020 through recruiting and they have retained these players then they will have the list which they deemed to be suitable for 2020.
The announcement today provides certainty to the leagues clubs who will now be able to plan for the upcoming McDonald’s BFNL senior premiership season.
