You are correct miksmif, clubs do not need additional costs or to see their elected board squander money, to have the letterheads designed cost money and the casting of the premiership medals was extremely expensive not to mention all of the other bits that hang off the name, to throw all of...

This is a matter for the Board of the BDAFL to deal with immediately, by way of consultation with the umpires representative, however keep in mind that this will come after the major issue of the moment has been dealt with, that being a name change for the League, smart Boards and their members...

I have read with interest that the Board of the BDAFL are holding a special meeting to vote on the change the name of the competition to the Hunter/Central Coast. I beg to ask why, when we have a brand which is well known and has been around for a considerable period of time, our league plays...

Well said my friend you have obviously had a great deal of experience with juniors in the region, what you have said is spot on. My reply is meant for Practice 22.

The old story is "If it aint broke don't fix it"

Your comments are spot on,you cannot wear two hats and represent the League fairly and give an unbiased opinion. As you rightly say there needs to be one strong independant Board to manage and administer all of the competitions in the area. I am surprised to see some of the very strong...

Sad to hear of the loss of Steve Smith we have to thank him for his services to the Black Diamond League and our game in general. Rest in Peace Mate From Facebook. Steve Smith Steve Smith passed away at 1.35am, 01 Feb 2011. A wonderful son, brother, father and husband. At 7pm...

Still tuggin away bingo, has your sight improved any mate

I guess we should really revisit these predictions in August 2011 and see how accurate they really are, even now there will be a few clubs that are going to be disappointed that they have potentially missed out on a predicted finals berth. Bailey and Larkin won't be laying down their gloves...

I agree, good on the City blokes, these are not positions that can be taken to impose your own style of rule, the constitution and by-laws take care of that. If you go back through the previous boards they all came from different clubs and I cannot recall any bias being introduced into the...

Not surprising River they have never been appreciated up here, all they cop is a bath from most quarters not all but most.

You are a fair Man Deitzy and that is a fair appraisal, let's trust that there are no injuries and the Grand Finalists do us proud. Lots of luck to all of them.

The whisper is that there are three or four players that are now retiring and would like to take a Board position as well as one or two that would like to take on the G.M.'s Job Keep up the good work Steve from what I hear they are coming your way.

Beetroot you are spot on. A G.M. with a bit of go about him/her could also chase potential sponsors and this could help to support a reasonable wage structure for that position. The Board receives nothing for their efforts other than a bagging for every good or bad decision they make...

If only you knew Dave if only you knew.

Really Dave it Beggars belief, there are only two possible outcomes, either the Club is wrong in its interpretation of the rules or the General Manager has it wrong. The quicker the League appoints a local Manager to run the competition with a hands on approach the better it will be. If he...

Surely they are smarter than that, a club with their experience should know better but if it were the case the League would be onto it in no time flat you would think.

Perhaps the answer to the problem is to play 14 rounds commencing a week earlier and forget giving clubs byes as was the case this year, this would give teams time to play the catch up games in the event of washed out matches. The other option is to use Nelson Bay's ground and Singleton's...

That is an area that needs to be addressed.

You are indeed correct, your opinion on this matter is in fact the truth

Only one game that counts, that is the last one in September, the rest are elementary, all you have to be sure of is that you are there for a shot at it and in the last few years we have seen the favourites fall at the final hurdle. The truth is that there are no hot favourites.

He will hold his own mate, a good honest footballer CC'd the Club to a premiership, better with him than having him against you.

Thank you I guess we move on from here, however some direction needs to be given to the Clubs by the Board of the B.D.A.F.L. I wasn't just focusing on Cardiff but using them as an example, surely the other Clubs must have concerns with regard to match fitness and the ultimate result of missed...

Thanks for your useful input N.S. and S.I.L. I just hope that someone from the Board of the B.D.A.F.L. is taking note and can come forward with a solution, surely they just cannot let it go on and on and on unresolved.

Well at least you have come up with an idea which may or may not be the best way forward but at the very least an option. For instance, take Cardiff they have not had a game since the 15th May and are due to play round ten on the 19th June a break of over a month they have now missed 4 rounds...

Forget the General Manager, he has left town there needs to be a concentrated effort to find a suitable local replacement, immediately. On another note what contingency plans are in place if the rain continues and how does the Board of the B.D.A.F.L intend alloting points if the deferred games...

Alright have it your way, all the best to Cardiff for the season and I trust that Justin's investment works out well for him.

Justin sounds like he is a bit of a goer though Billy D but that is the going price in what is considered to be some of Newcastles prime areas. I don't think that Cardiff would be paying him one dollar as they have always had that policy and despite everyones doubts have stuck by it. Thanks...

Don't get too excited it was just a touch of humor my friend, I take great pleasure in seeing people succeed and obviously Jason is a winner in a number of areas You are correct it is great for the B.D.A.F.L to have a player of this calibre actually playing in the league. I am aware of his...
