Team Captain
Congratulations to all Div 2 clubs this season. Reading the posts regurarly shows that across the division clubs are demonstrating a passion to build there clubs in a responsible competitive manner, and this will assist in bridging the gap between 1st & 2nd division.
The concern is the financial variance between clubs and I hope someone from the WRFL board / executive read this. IMO a proposal to provide support for clubs coming up would be to dangle a carrot (Obviously history is repeating itself with D/P). My proposal is based on two grants from the league;
Premiership team - $20,000 grant (1st year in A Grade)
- $10,000 grant (2nd year in A Grade)
It is is not that simple though, to receive these grants the clubs competing in the finals in Div 2. are required to achieve standards in;
> Committee Structure & Financial Plans
> Performance & Behaviour as a club
> Long Term plans relating towards club survival incorporating elevation to 1st division
> Junior current structure + targetted improvement areas
> Facility - Both Ground Conditions, Club Rooms & Amenities.
This audit would be conducted by someone with a good background in club managment i.e Steve Thom possibly??? If all boxes are ticked this is then forwarded to WRFL board for approval. If not no grants permitted.
One less wage at the WRFL would cover these costs and have some left over you would imagine. Most Clubs would possibly be opposed but until the gap between 1st / 2nd division is closed this competition will not improve and therefore clubs should consider this is in the best interest of the comp making a more competitive 2nd division & an evener comp in 1st division.

Best post I have seen on here for a while
.The idea has merit but may need some work. The money could be paid as a credit on payments that are made to the league instead of cash being handed over.
If something like this is not done where will the comp be in 5 years? We may end up with a division one consisting of 5 or 6 teams because nobody else wants to go up.

You have raised some good interesting points. But you would be hard pressed for the league to give up a wage. They would probably employ another person and increase fees.
Why would you not just introduce a fee free year or two for the team going up? (subject to conditions) I think D/P are doing the right thing, that is taking the long term viability of the club as the number 1 priority over the perceived importance of playing Div 1.
When i talk to guys who play footy right across melbourne and some country leagues, I ask how did your team go and how did they go, not "how did your team go in div 1 or 2 on the weekend?"
Clubs need to develop the best team possible regardless of where they are playing and the rest will look after itself. Juniors will not want to play seniors at a club just because it is in Div 1. They will want to play with a chance to win.
fantastic post.......this comp needs to bridge the gap between div 1 and 2..........

Huge upset! Lucky the local book maker wasnt there because I would have put my house on Kennedy to win it and win a by a fair margain. Congratulations to Craig Wells, it was good to have a player of his class come back to Laverton after a few years away and hopefully more others will follow him.
Cain, you said the other day that Jamie Zerafa shouldn't have been in the team of the year, I think his result in the BnF shows that he probably did deserve his spot or at least deserve to be in contention. Bit hard to judge other teams players on two games I'd have to say.
Also congratulations to one of Big Footy's own favourite sons "Choofa" on his life membership at the Laverton Footy Club.

sorry - but why does the result make him a better pick for TOY? 331 votes between 1st, 2nd and 3rd.......he was 50 odd votes behind 3rd place which tells me there was a fair portion of games he didn't poll at all. 4th best player at lavo by a long way.........surely the league has more depth than that. Don't get me wrong, i like chisel and think he's a good bloke and a good player (at times)......just not sure why the result in the BnF would validate his selection.
Congrats to to all lads who polled well.

The rumor i heard was that he stepped down cause of work commitments!
But definatley playing at Parkside next year!
Also heard that the club had already started interviewing mid season, so its not just a reaction to not winning the flag!
