Clubs can’t afford to run without crowds. Speaking to a President during the week who had worked out the cost of starting up in mid June. He calculated at least 24k WITHOUT paying players. There is no commitment from government of when crowds over 500 can attend community events. The community need to be able to plan, just as much for their welfare as the benefits belonging to a club provides well being. I applaud the league’s for at least making a commitment. Some clubs are now planning events for the remaining of the year to build their war chest for next season. Groups of 500 can attend balls and other fund raisers, but they can’t cover the cost of a day at the footy.

Like to know who gets 500 at a ball ?
We certainly don't
What about the old $100 ticket raffle or sports night ?

The covid requirements look daunting and challenging for many community clubs to train in at present let alone play for footy and netball on Saturdays.

Just look at how hard it if for the AFL to get games going ahead, I'm not sure they don't care, but I'm not sure amateur footy is very high on their agenda on high in their future plans, as in my opinion they would be happy with the American sporting model of professional and college, which in AFL equates to a school program and auskick.

Which reeks of elitism and is not the essence of AFL, which I applaud roar for his work in operating outside the afls power.

New to this Big Footy Forum and an outsider but I enjoy talking to all you guys and least we might not agree "BUT" we all agree we are hurting with no footy at the moment. I agree with your comment on Roar who I do not know and a perfect example of what I am saying perhaps.Metro footy with the Yarra" Junior" Football League they plan to start footy for the kids mid July,lets hope this happens and always say my thoughts a few weeks back cancel the seniors but lets make a big effort to get these kids on the park if suitable restrictions allow us all over the state.

had a meeting earlier this week and postponed their decision. Don’t reckon that would have been a factor in him returning rochy.

Was there a problem at Maldon (I think he was at) Johnno? Or keen to be back at Rochy with his brother? I think Crowbar is vice-president? Or some other senior position on the committee.

He had joined Marong after playing top footy at Eaglehawk. Has returned home to Rochy for personal reasons

Has anyone got any spare popcorn?

will be interesting too see how he goes and what position they envision him playing

Been kicking plenty of goals at Eaglehawk

Surely this time they will play him as a forward. Agree with Roota, he has been kicking goals in a very strong Eaglehawk side.

Groups CAN attend, not saying they would. But if you want to make money from spectators you need more than 500 attending a local match considering half of the 500 would make up players and officials.

he will find it hard breaking into their fwd line. IMO as far as a taller fwd he is 4th in line behind hooppell, Hamilton and Henderson.

Without Flaherty and Free who are the key backs apart from Gledhill?

Only Hamilton would be on par with Sean.
Hooppell a better Backman than forward. CHB is his for the taking.

You started the pm exchange .

As for killing the thread , you’ve previously stated I’m one of the most prolific users , it’s not as though I’ve just arrived .

We disagree on a subject , I don’t hold grudges and are happy to move on .

Russell has been playing down back

dreaming.. those 3 previously mentioned have all played better footy than Williams in his couple of stints. Do agree that hooppell is better down back but that’s the way they are lining up at the moment

Some Clubs in the central Murray league are officially withdrawing from this years competition prior to the league making any decision. The league has a meeting on the 9th of June, but the from what I hear the clubs are fed up with waiting for a decision.
