    Western Region FL - Divy 1 2018

    I read on the WRLF website that the Tribunal has handed out a 10-week suspension for striking to a Deer Park player. I assume this was the incident that stopped the DP-Sunshine game. If it was indeed a king hit (I was not there), then the message from the League to players and parents is that...

    Western Region FL - Divy 1 2018

    It seems to me that the WRFL should now draw a line in the sand. Nobody wants to see this rubbish. I heard a parent of an 18yo player who is now concerned about him playing football (div1 club). It's bad for footy. And dangerous. Surely the league would want to protect their players and have a...

    WRFL Division 1 - 2013

    So you agree that a good club culture is best measured when a club is down, and then you call me a jealous person? Am I missing something?

    JZ I think you will find that the real judgment on your off field management is passed, when the cheque book runs out of paper. Namely, then it is your culture which will determine whether people still want to be part of your club. Players, in the absence of massive player payments...

    WRFL Division 1 - 2013

    In my view the lack of perspective is staggering. So what else would you do with shitloads of money? Well, the Royal Children's Hospital comes to mind. Go walk down there for 2 hours and tell me that it is much better to pump hundreds of thousands into player payments at any local football...

    WRFL Division 1 - 2013

    You're missing the point. The point is there is no value or honour in winning a flag anymore, now that is has become completely determined by how much you spend. I am hearing that the EDFL is seriously considering to run a point system alongside the competition next year to understand the...

    WRFL Division 1 - 2013

    Spotty is definitively doing the right thing, every other club would do the same. Video footage does not lie, and so it has nothing to do with above mentioned preferential treatment for Spotswood. If video shows he did the crime, he will need to do the time. We need to stamp this behaviour out...

    Bit quiet here. Spotswood or Deer Park?

    Some interesting research about a points system. From page 29 onward. http://www.vcfl.com.au/fileadmin/user_upload/Resources/Administration/Player_Remuneration_Guide/PR_Guide_Final_low_res.pdf

    WRFL Division 1 - 2013

    I agree this is exactly what is happening. One can hardly blame DP for it, as they do nothing wrong. Salaries have risen dramatically over the last 5 years for all clubs and it seems clear that finance is the main driver of inequality between clubs. It seems to me that the League and...

    WRFL Division 1 - 2012

    Weapons, Logitech Thanks for you opinions - by the way I don't care if DP win or not, but I wish them the best, like all clubs. I hear those sentiments a lot - "If clubs are not well organised enough to get off their backsides to raise funds, then they simply don't deserve to be successful...

    WRFL Division 1 - 2012

    Congrats on some sensible postings here. If the WRFL community is serious about solving the unevenness issue, then it will need to get serious about better managing (or beginning to manage) the core driver of unevenness: The money. It not only creates haves and have-nots, it diverts money...

    WRFL Division 1 - 2012

    Poaching kids of that age already happens today, so no change. In addition, paying kids in that age group would be illegal, and I would think that clubs, committees and parents would think twice to go down that track, putting their clubs at risk. If club presidents and committees would approve...

    WRFL Division 1 - 2012

    Well, we would all blame the Board if they were losing money, fights on the ground every game, and kids weren't looked after, so I suggest quite some of their focus is right. But back to your point about the quality of football though... One would argue it is actually the responsibility of...

    Ah, an opportunity for some discussion with substance... So what do you think are the WRFL's top 3 issues, and how do you propose to address them?
