Player Points System Process
Player Points System Process
Under the Player Points System (PPS), post February 1st annually when registrations and clearances open, clubs may request AFLNEB to verify the PPS values of their playing lists once approximately 75% of their anticipated playing list has been registered and the club allocates players a PPS value.
It is encouraged that clubs request verification to AFLNEB Regional Operations Officer, Gavin Rendell, to ensure verification prior to Round 1 of the respective Leagues. Once a clubs list has been verified by AFLNEB, the club’s ability to allocate PPS values shall be locked and the club notified; any additional players will then need to be verified individually by contacting AFLNEB following registration.
Within 7 days of AFLNEB verifying a club’s playing list, the club may apply for reassessment of individual players to the Player Points Panel.
Further, AFLNEB will not speculate, at any time, on any individual players PPS value and requires a player to be registered with an AFLNEB affiliated club to provide a PPS value.
Finally, clubs are reminded that they remain responsible for ensuring they do not exceed their PPS Caps. AFLNEB will continue to offer support to clubs in the management of both the Allowable Player Payments (APP) and PPS with general queries directed to AFLNEB offices in Wodonga (02 6056 1993) and Wangaratta (03 5722 1993).
Alternatively, any specific ruling requests for either the APP or PPS should be made in writing and emailed to Gavin Rendell at gavin.rendell@afl.com.au, who will now be monitoring both equalisation measures.

Two local football netball clubs are set to receive a funding boost to upgrade their lighting infrastructure through the Country Football Netball funding program! The Milawa Football Netball Club who compete in the Ovens & King FNL and Barnawartha Football Netball Club competing in the Tallangatta & District Football League will both receive funding through the Country Football Netball Program which through a partnership between the Victorian Government, AFL, AFL Victoria and Netball Victoria aims to support county football and netball clubs infrastructure improvements and developments. A total of 7 clubs across Victoria received funding in this round, and with two clubs successful in the North East it is a great outcome for football in the region and both clubs should be congratulated for the work they have put in to be successful! We look forward to seeing these projects come to life!
