Interesting because even when they were so dominant it was made up of local talent and since then they haven’t really had a good crack at heavily recruiting from the outside. Will always be a sleeping giant with the amount of quality they can produce from within.

Not sure they could offer anywhere near as much as the vafa that Waite gets.
The pig rockliffe may be a chance, but he'd have offers all over Oz.
Maybe they need an outsider to coach, might get a more out of the locals with a new set of eyes

Yeh they will atleast be in a position to get to 1st Base and make a play at them.

'Incidents' would have worked. 
Sorry mate I am clearly bored with no local footy on offer.
Thankfully the GV board came to their collective (or singular) sense(s).
What was the ruling over in the league you are involved in?

No premierships , minor premiers acknowledged as they always are . The ladder after the home and away will show who was the best side to that point .'Incidents' would have worked.

Would any gv club go after Laverton premiership coach Simon Curtis?
How many clubs are after a coach mate? it seems pretty settled this year.

What a terrific insight into grass roots footy manang it’s a much watch documentary and you are right the AFL boffins can only learn from that
?? Atleast 3.
Yep it is, he'd be a pretty handy as even a player, it seems that most coaches last 2 years now before giving up on the role, especially playing coaches, maybe today's coaches are required to wear too many hats and it burns them out quicker being in the role

Interesting to see Kyneton employ a FT administrator. This would easethe pressure on coaches with the right appointment. Think we will see more of this in the next couple of years.

If they are responsible for fundraising the pressure only falls on them, so the pressure on volunteers to raise funds is reduced.

Depends how good an operator they are I think there is a market for it but I think a Part Time position is probably a good stepping stone for a Club to trial it in.

The club would need to be very organised behind this position. Specific targets for sponsorship, engagement with members and contributions, grant applications, contracts, facility upgrades…
I’ve often wondered how much impact could be had if a ‘gun’ club volunteer had a full day to work on club items and also do what they were already doing behind the scenes, not by simply moving that to their “paid” day.

A lot of marketability at club level is based on senior success and somewhat on marquee players . Salary cap and players points has limited the ability of clubs to bring in mass marque players .
Whilst with GVL choosing to play more in the traditional Saturday Arvo time slot , I’d suspect marketing opportunities are being even further hit .
IIRC ( ringo1 could probably confirm) Echuca went down the path of a full time administrator with Ben Wilson a few years ago , pre salary cap and player points .
Match day secretary remains the biggest or hardest job to fill and with some leagues moving to 9-5 for their admin and maintaining the same requirement yet adding things like live scoring that job has only got more difficult .

I’d also recommend reading ‘The boys club’ written by Mick Warner .
Reading might even help your spelling Silver Tongue .

Employing the person as permanent part time or full time and enrolling them into a traineeship course (such as Cert 3 in business admin) would mean 50% of the persons wage are reimbursed to the club (capped at 7k per quarter)
I'd be amazed if more clubs don't do it for any new paid employees (including coaches)
Now is the perfect time to try it
