Huge deal for RDFL

by Matt Nicholls

THE Riddell District Football League has struck a deal with the National Australia Bank in what looms to be the competition’s most lucrative sponsorship arrangement ever.
The deal is expected to be worth around $50,000 to the RDFL over two years, according to league general manager Scott McCartney.
Not only will the sponsorship be beneficial to the league, it will also assist clubs, players and families tied to the RDFL.
In the proposed deal, parents of RDFL junior players who register for a home loan, or switch their home loan to the NAB, will receive a football package totalling $150 for each child.
For every RDFL player who does the same, they will receive a worthwhile package from sporting goods supplier Skins.
Under the deal, clubs that have 10 or more people taking out or switching to an NAB home loan, the team receives a brand new line of football guernseys.
For example, if Romsey Football Club had its president, coach, captain and seven other members take out or switch to an NAB home loan, the Redbacks would receive brand new footy jumpers paid for by the bank.


No doubt has something to do with the new GM's brother Tim who happens to work for the NAB. Im sure he had a big role in getting this over the line.

Hi Matt,

Deal sounds great on paper, but if you were to change home loans from say the Commonwealth to the NAB the customer would be up for somewhere between $1000 and $2000 as a buy out penalty - all for $150 football package to my children?????

I dont think the deal would be for everybody. I work in the finance sector and yes your right some people woudl not be able to take part because of of people who sign a contract for a fixed rate, but I still think it has merits for people who are first homebuyers, or are not hit with a early buy out penalty.

All in all I think its a great step for teh league to align themselves with a major Australian company and great the a company like the NAB to back community sport. Kids get something, clubs get something, league gets something.

Well done to all involved I Say

got to be joking.the only winner in a deal like this is the nab bank.
should i transfer to the nab it would cost thousands.then the nab would charge you app.fees etc. etc. etc.
not knocking the league for trying new things,but how bout sponsorship from the bank.even first home buyers can get a much better deal than the nab elsewhere.i know people will disagree with me on this topic,but
i assure u when it comes to money im no fool.
anyway lets get back to footy

Gday boys,
This one is probably aimed more at the Great Matty Nicholls. Pickles, can you tell me where i can find the results to the kevin Sullivan medal, and a list of polling players.

Much appreciated
 
Haha. I'm not so great. Sean Huddle won the Sully Medal from Brenton Hanson and Steve Grey. Will post the final results as they come to hand.

BREAKING NEWS

Press release: Matt Nicholls played for Romsey yesterday against Wallan. After enjoying a three-quarter stint, the man affectionately known as Pickles is expected to lodge a clearance to the Redbacks.

While Nicholls is obviously in two minds about leaving Lancefield, the lure of big money at Romsey is too much to knock back.

More news to follow ...

Haha. I will probably have a kick at Romsey this year, but for love not $$$
 
Practice match results from Saturday.

Romsey defeated Wallan by about eight goals.

Lancefield defeated North Sunshine by five or six points.

Diggers Rest defeated Heathcote by about eight goals.

Yes Romsey were to good for us. You boys did get off to a slow start in the first quarter but once you got your running game going you looked pretty good. I was very impressed with the full forward number 18 I think his name was Morgan. Has very good hands.
 
Didnt wallan leave RDFL a few years back due to dominating the league and wanting to find the next big challenge?
 
I think you'll find they left because most of their new population is from the northern suburbs and the diamond valley league fits the geographics well.

They didn't dominate the RDFL
