Yarroweyah and Mathoura who finished 7th and 8th in the NW in 2013 finished 1st and 2nd in 2010, whilst I would suggest Katandra would be the most successful PDFNL club over the past 20 years , which indicates to me all clubs have the ability to compete .
Making it so all clubs can sustain that is what is important and should be the highest priority of THE LEAGUE .
The league still has some work to do continue to promote itself as the preferred option for players in the area .
The need to play MAJOR LEAGUE to gain greater opportunities is gone .
Through Rhys McCulloch (Sturt ) , Jack Yelland ( Coburg ) , Lachie Howe ( Geelong ) , Thomas Clurey ( Port Adelaide ) various elite junior reps including at state level and the possibility of another AFL draftee this year .
I have no doubt what so ever that there are things ( which shouldn't be discussed upon here ) THE LEAGUE can and should do to ensure ALL clubs are able to maintain and sustain competiveness at similar levels to what the higher placed senior sides achieved this year .
Relegation and delegation is generally based on one grade of one sport .
IIRC the PDFNL is 4 football grades and 7 netball grades , so therefore it is quite likely 10 of the 11 of a clubs sides would be would be disadvantaged by relegation / delegation .
IIRC 7 of the 8 clubs where represented within 2013 NW GF's , whilst Katandra who went through 2013 winless at senior level had 6 of 7 netball sides within the GF.
Success at senior level takes alot of recruitment time , whilst administration of clubs takes up a huge amount of time . Some clubs from time to time struggle with support staff and as a result time available to spend on recruiting is limited and those helping within clubs become worn out very quickly .
Stagnating and standing in the one position makes affiliates of a league ripe for the picking which unfortunately has happened for to long .
A quick look at populations show Tungamah is the smallest town within the PDFNL whilst Deni the largest .
Tunga won the SE 2013 senior flag whilst Deni has never won a senior flag .
As a long time supporter , I was surprised at a few things that come out of Monday nights meeting .
I had heard picola had discussed going elsewhere and that Yarroweyah and Mathoura were struggling but thought it was just the normal football gossip .
Talk about Toc having lots of money and being able to raise alot of money and others not being able to compete financially .
Got a few questions I'd like to know the answer to if anyone in here was at the meeting and could help me ?
Was there any talk at the meeting Toc are broke ?
Do Picola get to vote on things to do with the league , even though they have stated they are looking to go elsewhere ?
Also Mathoura and Yarroweyah if they are going to fold ?
Was there any talk of what the league is going to do to the NW clubs who have been trying to get SE clubs to go to the NW ?
Did the league discuss what might happen with the league if picola piss off and the other two fold , will they force some of Waaia , Katunga , Katamatite, Rennie into the the NW or just go into the one league again ?
Did someone mention the money Strathmerton has been making year after year from holding the grand final and using to poach players from other pdfl clubs ?
Wish Toc had of gone into the SE , the SE could have started it's own league .
I was at the meeting and have answered your question what believe to be correct .As a long time supporter , I was surprised at a few things that come out of Monday nights meeting .
I had heard picola had discussed going elsewhere and that Yarroweyah and Mathoura were struggling but thought it was just the normal football gossip .
Talk about Toc having lots of money and being able to raise alot of money and others not being able to compete financially .
Got a few questions I'd like to know the answer to if anyone in here was at the meeting and could help me ?
Was there any talk at the meeting Toc are broke ? NO nor should there have been , to my knowledge the board are the only ones who have seen their financial position, which I would suggest is pretty standard .
Do Picola get to vote on things to do with the league , even though they have stated they are looking to go elsewhere ?Cause they would , why wouldn't they ?
Also Mathoura and Yarroweyah if they are going to fold ?No clubs where named as going to fold to suggest otherwise is totally incorrect
Was there any talk of what the league is going to do to the NW clubs who have been trying to get SE clubs to go to the NW ?No but so can personally confirm any possible suitors who have been suggested as wanting to move from the SE where canvassed of such , before the board made there decision .
Did the league discuss what might happen with the league if picola piss off and the other two fold , will they force some of Waaia , Katunga , Katamatite, Rennie into the the NW or just go into the one league again ?no club has suggested they wish to go back to 1 division.
Did someone mention the money Strathmerton has been making year after year from holding the grand final and using to poach players from other pdfl clubs ? No they didn't and not should they , the board made the decision in where the grand finals where played . As for players changing clubs , who gives clacked has been happening for years if clubs are upset by another clubs advances to it's players they need to work it out with the club or personnel involved
Wish Toc had of gone into the SE , the SE could have started it's own league .
Is this bit a gee up? Does the fact that the strathy recruits have family members or best mates playing at the club count for anything. Smart recruiting maybe? No mention of jerilderie form poaching coaches and players?[/quote]
I think you will find Downie, Moodie, Wren, Makepeace, Hoggan, Daniels we all "POACHED" from other clubs. Most coaches are recruited from outside of the club.
Jerilderie got a new coach for next year by the sounds of it who have they signed
Fantastic coaches & Players they all are Wilty. would luv to have them all But iam strictly a one Coach sort of guy..I think you will find Downie, Moodie, Wren, Makepeace, Hoggan, Daniels we all "POACHED" from other clubs. Most coaches are recruited from outside of the club.

Hmmm... I think they did that a few years back. Worked really really well for them to.....Heard that one straight after the season.
Also heard Toc will be spending a fair bit of cash. Want to win it first year in and gain some respect back.
