Was contacted last night regarding a football family relocating to Vic over Xmas due to work, potentially looking at the Doreen area to live.
Bit lazy to look up all clubs, but any insight into who (if any) at Div.3 (or Div.2) level has senior men’s, senior women’s, plus juniors with boys/girls...
Which rightly or wrongly many have done anyway.
Collectives of what were 2-3 have slowly grown over the past 5-6 weeks to more substantial size, and it has had nothing to do with clubs or the NFL.
Plenty of ways and means to get going, and surely adults can act like adults here, just be smart...
The league never decided to allow Goldfields control, there was some dodgy occurences around 2008/2009 and the right to self administer was taken away by AFL Vic I'm pretty sure.
Moving forward yes there has been movement, but if anything this Covid period has allowed for a deep breath, a...
Guess I'm blessed with supportive employers who value work/life/community balance.
I never went home before footy once mate, in the bush we are not as resourced as metro clubs I'm assuming ... plenty of club stuff that needs doing.
Wish I had've got involved in Melbourne sounds much more easy...
Not sure how old he'd be, but Div.3 football allows for many elder statesman to still enjoy a kick and actually contribute to that standard.
It's not like every Div.3 club runs out with 22 genuine senior ready footballers.
Guess we're all wired differently and this new you beaut metropolitan lifestyle might take some time for me to understand.
Off topic a bit and obviously country football is looked upon differently to the metro models but I've worked 5am clock ons for over 13 years, sometimes travelled an hour...
Moved to The Burn a week before Covid so haven't met one person yet but having worked a little bit at Highgate for 7-8 years now there are far more folk throwing around rugby balls, and playing cricket or soccer than there are out kicking footballs in Craigieburn.
Population growth doesn't...
Let me get this right ... guys aren’t willing to head “out” to Craigieburn WTF?
The amount of mercenaries in local footy these days surely 3-4 would be willing.
For Christ sake carloads head up the Hume, to the river comps annually ... surely a kick, less travel and home Satdy nights at a...
Don't know Justin, actually liked what I heard at times (from him) when I caught a few Laurimar games but not everyone has the time each and every year to coach their own team outright.
Maybe his situation or motivations have changed and he wants to see if a lesser responsible role (albeit at a...
Paying 3rds WTF?
This is the problem with not just local footy now, but life in general ... entitlement and everyone wanting their slice of the pie before experience, credentials and a genuine resume is forged.
Why the rush? Trust me you'll enjoy the ride a lot more and remain in the game a...
I did have a look around Eastern fringe as I spend half my time out that way now, but I think the days overseeing my own team might be behind me.
Happy to remain where I am (if still required) as an assistant once the bloody AFL let us know whats happening with NAB League.
All the best with it
Have a go Moona, game needs keen passionate people to keep community football going.
I thought the same as you when I saw it advertised, plenty worse coaching roles around than Yarra Glen.
Good luck.
Had a similar chat with a club president in our region only a week ago.
The illusion of club, rep footy into pathways isn’t explained correctly back to local clubs, or if it is the parents and kids aren’t informed.
The amount that feel an interleague jumper is automatically deserved of other...
