RDFL Netball.

Well, sounds like you are a gun administrator! Maybe you should take over? And which wonderful football/netball comps are you talking about?

P.S. if you really want to sound professional, get the spelling right!!!

 

[wildwest]

Thanks I am a great administrator!

Better administrator than speller!

Over the years I have watched & been involved in a lot of football/netball administrative duties in various leagues.

It is not that hard to get it right, maybe they need to observe some of our other leagues!

Sorry mate, don't know about the BFL, don't follow it.


On the umpiring, I don't know why the league doesn't supply umps like they do with footy all season. We had to forfeit a round this year cause we couldn't find an ump.

I think the main reason might be finding suitable match fee s for netball refs. not sure how much they get paid per game,but with the price of petrol maybe the league and clubs would have to look at upping the ref payments.that might be an incentive. problem may also be a logistical one.can't imagine a Broadford or Kilmore based ref being that enthused about heading out to Melton or Rockbank 3 or 4 times a season for bugger all payments,or vice versa.

imo

I think the RDFL needs to have a good look at themselves. Very unproffessional. How difficult should it be to have all finals played in the same conditions (outdoors), played at the same times.

Why dont you have a look at some of the more proffessional comp's & how they are run, then you might have some idea on how to run the RDFL Netball.

My guess is that because they are playing the finals at riddell and riddell don't have an outside court so I have heard, The Rdfl are trying their best to acommodate all teams , not to sure that they are unprofessional that is a bit harse .I only get to see 1 or 2 games a season and I thought that it is a good comp, the games that I have seen have been of a good Level.

Well don't waffle on about it - what leagues and what do they do better?

I am not sure what leagues people are talking about....... but your would think the people in charge at the RDFL would be open to discuss new ideas and if necassary make changes to improve the RDFL for all...... if people go about it in the correct way or maybe they don't like change

So what are the changes and have they approached the RDFL? How about some detail here?

What Leagues?
What is wrong?
What is better?
Has the RDFL been approached?

Hi I am just new to the web site and yes people should go through the correct canals instead of complaining , maybe they are a little frightened that they will get knocked on the head for trying to improve the league not to sure what ideas people have ,but a few constructive ideas do help sometimes if people are willing to listen, I am not saying that the league doesn't listen ,but looking at the posts there seem to be alot of unhappy people out there. I have gone right back through quite a few over the last 2 seasons in football as well as netball and it is no different then to what is now.

 

[Yourstruly]

No – the problem is that people make statements like ‘unprofessional’ and ‘look at other leagues’ but don’t back it up when asked. Notice how my questions were answered??? Waffling whingers we can do without!!

Melton will have no advantage playing on there home court its a court for gods sake its the same shape size as every other.....
As for having indoor outdoor games its not right but it is also very hard to get an outdoor court, its taken us 6yrs they have no advantage because evry 2nd week they are outside and have to adjust to that where ever1 else is used to the outdoor conditions.
this weeks indoor game is no advantage the winner will then have to adjust back to outdoor conditions the following week....
I may be wrong but when the league picks the venue for finals i dont think they care to much about netball courts and who plays where.....

 

[sammy3]

The Netball court at Sunbury I believe has been completed, and hopefully should be played on this Sunday, if not, the games will be played inside the Basketball stadium behind the club rooms.

The courts are ready and we wil train on them tonight yay good luck girls

 

[sammy3]

I agree I think neutral umpires are a great idea as they don't know any of the sides etc and will make for good games.

CHEERS to that will make a diference to a few teams

 

[sammy3]

thats interesting that they don't have independant umpires, from where I come from they have a panel of umpires, I don't watch much netball these days only just like to look and see what is happening on the rdfl web site

We should have panel umpires and hopfully next year we will, around here its really hard to find enough umps to have a panel the league finds it hard to get a ump for 1 team if they canrt find there own, a few times ive had to umpire for the other team which is not a problem its just hard to find umps...

Yes It would be great if they could arrange an umpiring Panel .

Anyway good luck to all the teams for the final series .

didn't Macedon miss out on a final last year for that very reason

 

[sammy3]

you may be right but macedon have had plenty of final and the netball was played indoor, and if our(roos) court wasnt ready the game was going to be played in the stadium. yes they would prefer it outdoor but dont think thats a big reason why the pick the venues.

Bad luck to Diggers Agrade girls today

 

[sammy3]

Ummmmmm - I hear Broadford might have a few tricks up their sleeves for Melton

Did i hear right that melton won by 28 over broadford???? guess the tricks didnt work to well

 

[bettysgirl]

Is this the correct winning score did broadford leave their tricks at home , I also heard that they lost the b grade as well, could someone tell me if that is right .

Did diggers A grade not win today, that would have been a shock, I thought that they were a good side, well looking at the ladder during the season they looked the team that would have taken it up to Melton Centrals or was that just what everyone was saying on this site .

I agree thought diggers may have been the only team to do it.....
I guess broadford dont play to well without there ump
good win by macedon A grade today hoping they go all the way now!

People that live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones
Sunbury C grade didnt do too well today without theirs either


And whilst Im on that subject...where was she today?? (no-show for B grade team)

Also well done to the league, great umpiring today in all grades!!

 

[TSMKT]

Yes that is a shock I just checked the RDFL web site and that is a huge win by Centrals you would of thought the game would of been a little closer as you said the tricks didnt work !!. I also think Diggers where a couple of their good players down which would not help in finals as they are a nice side to play. Well done to all the winners

Bad luck to the Roos girls yesterday.
Yes C grade may have not played as good have they had bein, BUT nothing to do with umpiring, they may have let the nerves get to them to much. Our umpire calls what she sees!!!!!!!!!!
B grade team exceptional, a few girls had to stand up because we were a few players down yesterday with a loss of only 4 goals to Wallan. For your info No-show...(broken foot) But fantastic game well played to our girls and to Wallan also!
