Points systems do not work lads

But is being implemented in 2015 we have been told

Only online, Sly.

It is my opinion that Romsey would be very competitive against Gisborne, most probably beat them. This Romsey outfit is the most talented team Romsey have ever produced, they have all bought into what is required, their well coached & fit, this is why so many on this thread are so anti Romsey, they can all see what's coming!

Have to agree sylone very talented side that would beat most sides or be very competitive in any league they would be favourites by a mile to go all the way
On another topic being discussed the introduction of the point system in 2015 will be interesting on how it affects clubs with many recruits across all leaugues 2014 is the year to have a crack talking to many in different leagues
Because with the system you will have to play adleast a dozen if not more locals that have come through your juniours any thoughts ??
I believe a club like ruppo and gisborne who have good amounts of juniours will prosper !

I would like to ask you Keston why does broadford have a football club? (Only asking you because u keep bringing up the point system nothing to do with the decision your club is making).
I would suggest to give your town a place for the locals to gather at, a community focus. To give young blokes a focus, as we all know there seems to be many challenges for young people to overcome, some are doing it without the guidance of good role models. Hopefully they can find this at their local football club.

Hopefully the point system will force a few clubs to refocus on what a local football club is all about.

Why pay money to blokes who drive for an hour so, take local money out of your community to win a cup that no one drinks out of after a few days? It gives a few people a good feeling for a week or so but what does it rally do for the local youth?

I'm dismayed
Because it's brought up as a point of discussion
nothing to do with broadford and nothing with the decision broadford is making

BUT you make a good point re making local clubs that are out of controll $$$ re think what local footy is about

Broadford like all metro or country towns or suburbs have footy clubs for people to gather enjoy each other's company play a sport called footy

Have to agree with you why do we pay so much etc it's the main factor in why the point system will come in makes it hard to have mate ship when your only there for a $$$$$$

Why what do you think a footy club is about ???
Or what do you believe your club is about ?

I did say only asking you because you ask about it, only mentioned broadford because I believe it's your club. I could have used any club to talk about.

Let me try again.
Why do local football clubs exist?

I think there most important task is to be a social hub for their community and to be good role models for people who do not have them.

Clubs that are out of control??? Please explain? What does that mean? A club who is successful paying big $$ to get quality players to make the comp stronger so as people will go & watch their local team, have a look at the crowds at Romsey compared to say Woodend or Lancefield, Romsey, Riddell, Sunbury & Diggers have been working their buts off for years trying to lift the standard of the league, now because some clubs have done nothing to improve their list, every other team has to be dragged back to a standard that is so bad, no one will attend the games, This makes no cents at all, you will find that if the points system comes into the RDFL then the RDFL will die & disappear, they made a huge mistake years ago when the strong teams left, surely the RDFL have learnt by their mistakes from the past!!

It's not the rdfl it's vic wide apparently
Some community's can't sustain the growth required to keep up with some clubs
Lots of reasons sponsorship availability community $$ value
people to help out volunteers it's tuff
The problem is across all leaugues
Is there another answer ????

Are you successfully if you owe the league money?

I think crowds are more likely to come if they see locals playing. Under the points rule you can still attract BIG names but majority of the side need to be locals.

What mistake?? The league is as strong as any, you must take a long term view, not look a the quick fix if you are survive long term.

Your dreaming, & living in the past, footy has changed, no the world has changed, people want more in life & if their not going to get paid to play footy in the RDFL then they will play else where or work.

 

[Keston]

It's in general we have clubs paying out large sums of dollars across many leaugues other clubs try to follow some have the ability to due to demographics large sponsorships community growth etc location

Some clubs that try to follow find after a year or two that they don't have the above due to location general demographics and can't sustain it causing
Many problems

Some people as dismayed quoted have a club as a social venue and also a place to show leadership to there kids it's not all about the $$$ but clubs want there kids to hang around and have some success without the community suffering and volunteers being burnt out

So your saying that a couple of kids left Romsey to go to Broardford to have some success in the Broardford community rather than Romsey's ?

See people are blaming other clubs for not spending the $$$ to compete
Perhaps they just don't have the $$$ or the ability to attain the $$$
Why don't you tell them that they should close up and put a 100 years or more of history on ice
This was a discussion point system may help two grades may or what's the answer remember it's not just about 4-5 clubs

No I'm not saying that at all you just said it and what's that got to do with the conversation ?

By the way you can keep digging not going to bite over it moved on

This is a discussion re the state of footy vic wide
Have you a answer to the last comment ?

It MUST be introduced state wide to be successful.

Perhaps the kids left romsey to go to broadford because there local club didn't want them they fell rejected by the club they had played for while they were growing up. Doubled up on a cold wet Sunday when the no one else would play. They get to open age and see a big road block crated by out of towners. So they went somewhere they are appreciated.

100% disagree Dismayed. Played against Kilmore 4 weeks ago which has a fair % of locals and there were 5 supporters there...if that many. Lancefield have a lot of local kids and their supporter numbers are down. I think you'll find it a fact that success 'on' the field brings supporters, sponsors and $$ to a club (and a lot of hard work from committee and a good functioning group of people behind the scenes).
The points system is purely speculation atm and we are only guessing as to how it may work.
The AFL have a draft, preferences, salary caps etc....and they can't get an even competition. It's not a fair or perfect world...so some teams will be stronger than others.
Lancefield haven't got under 16's or 18's atm so where are there locals going to come from??

No point arguing with the haves they don't get it
Look at marby park had access to lots $$$
Now fighting off relegation
Because of all the imports not there any more
And some clubs just can't find the $$$ required now
It's a fact

Lancefield will find it tough. Read on the rdfl website a report from Yeendy they are trying to get them up and running again.
Think comparsion to the AFL are a waste of time.

So what do you think we should do???
Let the strong sides stay strong and leave the others to die?

Wet footy tomorrow might be a upset or two

No you know exactly why they left, don't make up stories your starting to sound like a 16 year old
