The point being a club can’t be wholly responsible for EVERYTHING that happens under their watch. I’m assuming Danny was the mediator here so how about focusing on the good news story for the Demons (by large they are a terrific bunch of supporters - Everyone on here wants to tear people down…...

Does it really matter…? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Last week you were singing their praises (I actually had you pegged for a NFNL staffer 😂)

Ignoring clubs in the past for years shouldn’t mean they let Suburbs be void of a football identity now… Don’t repeat mistakes made - Grow the game, shouldn’t that be a KPI for keeping a paid position…?

Extra cash is not the answer… Planned development is from primary school ages and help them that way (maybe invest the money into a dedicated NFNL club development manager… who actually has a clue). Help the clubs with percentages lower than 50 for the season (for example) have every junior...

It’s not about the immediate future. Merging is a very tricky balance but It can certainly be done with the right people managing the transition.

I wouldn’t expect the NFNL to be doing anything, that’s the point. You would have a vastly different opinion to the MANY people I speak with I can assure you. but to answer your question - assist in promotion and development at at junior primary school level (not AFLVIC disguised AUSKICK head...

Mate, speaking from experience… They are more than likely fining them for not having numbers. The people with influence have never helped with anything - They are nothing more than an anchor and should be held to account.

Imagine they re-evaluated their core purpose as a regional football competition for the people within…. maybe it wouldn’t seem like such a stretch 🤦🏻‍♂️

I hope there is smart people working on it…. 🤔

There was a complete plan surrounding growth, development, schools etc… Then COVID hit in 2020 (I left in 2019). I’m not sure it’s been a focus since. The AFL do employe Development Managers ……. Hmmm 🤔 They seriously just need to listen to people

The league needs someone who’s passionate about the competition and the people within… I’m not sure that’s high on the priority list (in the football department - Delwyn does an amazing job with Netball and SURPRISE SURPRISE she has been around the league as long as many of us have been)

Parkside went back to their original set up. That’s vastly different. Geographically it would be too challenging

I agree with the costs, it is very affordable… it’s more about where the money ends up and why. if there was a financial incentive to operate as well as the junior player advantages, you would see an increase towards it being a division of a club approach. At the moment you really need to hope...

Taking a suburban culture into the ammo travel/attendance/restricted sales landscape would be suicide. The solutions a long burn and it starts with 4-6 year olds… Clubs need significant and genuine help to build from that point and support to help them through the next period (it can turn...

AFLVIC… You mean the Game Development Managers…. I’d love to share my thoughts there but maybe another place and time. FREE is never an answer… 100% goes to AFL, it is astounding when you consider all the levels of nothing they provide. More should go back to the clubs that host it (along with...

Its a huge range of things and there's no silver bullet but the first step is for the NFNL is to listen and get behind the clubs that are already established... Don't ignore them and wait for it all to magically happen... And not at a senior level, AUSKICK and primary school ages. Without...

No Mate... Lalor Stars and West shut up shop almost 10 years ago now. There isn't 1 registered junior in the entire suburb. For people to suggest it's easier for the NFNL to turn their backs on these clubs is astounding - Get out from behind your desk at HQ and help with genuine support (i can...

West Lalor

3 mate with around 40 teams between them all - supreme talent at every level...

There isn't one registered junior in the Suburb... That's the bigger concern if i'm being brutally honest. Lalor could be completely wiped of a football identity.

:think: They were well and truly warned i can assure you...

It's a 10 to 15 year plan… a lot has changed since then and now, the immediate focus should as well. Build from the bottom up and start thinking like this - "how do we get an Auskicker to one day Captain the seniors"... That’s the 15 year journey. Things can turn-around pretty quick when...

Focus on the AUSKICK and primary school ages - Build a process, don't pay for a band-aid...! The club needs to prioritise being relevant to the community and develop organically. It's a great opportunity if you look at it from the right angle - Everything is there for sustained success... Its...

So with a healthy bank balance, clear direction and a team list full of talent...???? I'll let you join the dots there. You might want to go back and read our conversation from Sept 13... Pretty sure i suggested you do that exact thing - Maybe even go back to the recruits from 2018... #toughestjob.

What are you suggesting exactly...?

I think his devotion to the club and Family name puts him well and truly in legend status... If you are comparing his ability alone to the "playing legends" of the 90's for example... well then I can understand your point. I can assure you though, his presence will be a huge loss to the team...

From all reports, they have landed a ripper coach and have some old faces returning for recruitment roles - Hopefully they enjoy the challenge of a blank piece of paper and starting fresh...? Some might see it as a ripper opportunity. The club itself needs to re-focus their energy towards...

What could i possibly have to do with players leaving... You are stretching at best...? Players are leaving in October 2021. You do the math

I think they have internally... Not sure what they do regarding social and digital promotions these days...?!?
