We'll what a big few days it has been! After a big week last week on the terps, and a massive afternoon session Sunday and Monday, one thing i noticed from talking to players form different clubs, was the about how good this year was.
Spoke with almost a player from every club including players from outside RDFL clubs that came to watch and almost everyone commented on the increase of pace, skill level and talent the RDFL had seen in 2007! Which led me to "08".
All year we have talked about and associated old RDFL clubs returning, and the conclusion, was not for a couple years!
Well it looks to be that players playing in these comps, including near and far, where more than happy with the style, intensity and pace of the game, and could look to return or start! "If the clubs aren't coming back the players sure are............"
I look at how big the signing of "sippy" and "Bonicci" has been this year, and it's shown the RDFL can draw crowds, talent and sponsors! I attended the Ballarat grand final, and where not far off as far as corporate doings but crowd wise, was much of a muchness....
So my view on 2007 was a big
Look forward to next year and what lies ahead........
Omnipotent - om·nip·o·tent om-nip-uh-tuhnt]
–adjective
1.almighty or infinite in power, as God.
2.having very great or unlimited authority or power.
Obviously you have great knowledge and power, given your handle.
I, therefore, find it difficult to comprehend, that one with such infinite power, would not have known or either bothered to check the reason behind the Riddell Officials decided to move the players off the ground before agreeing with comments of other particpants not connected to the Club.
It was not meant as any disrespect to the Woodend team or Club. They are to be congratulated for their success. They played the better football and had the greater desire on the day.
The Riddell players were seated on the ground waiting for the presentation when a potentially volatile incident occured between supporters next to where they were seated.
Given the incidents that occured during the game and the abuse that was also being directed at the players from individuals walking past the huddle. The decsion was made to move the players into the rooms to avoid any further unsightly incidents.
Nothing more.
I have been reading the RDFL thread all year and I have enjoyed and sometimes been bemused by the comments of the participants.
However, I think it proper to check information is correct, before automatically assuming the worse.
If this was the reason for the Riddell players not sitting out on the ground then it's good enough for me. Scooter and Andy Power have enough integrity in my eyes to believe such a version. Again there were many players and the coach who sought out our players to congratulate them, which was great to see. Although there seemed to be a bit of tension after the game from supporters it was great that no one acted inappropriately.
As mentioned by Trueblue and FH 18 the league has had a great year and should only get better!
Matt how did you end up in the betting stakes? You did mention you were going to give it away next year, but I’m sure most would agree that it added a little more interest to the league and certainly another talking point at the end of each week. Hope you stick to your guns and keep giving us odds next year. It’s certainly hasn't hurt the Woodend economy! Hey did you realise you were talking to FH18 for a good ten minutes on the weekend-For what its worth he thought you were a terrific bloke.

. Wittmer is probably 85% certain to return to Kilmore, and I have about five other names up my sleeve for the Blues too, but can't divulge just yet. I'm recruiting for three clubs.
Al's been reappointed as Heathcote coach. Hopefully Greenshields can get on the park for Centrals next year, will be like putting Sipthorp into the side for them. I doubt Reaps will be at Lancefield, even though his brother is assistant coach. Works for the VCFL and if he plays he'll be encouraged to play in one of their leagues. Doubt Lace will comeback to the Hawks, although you'll have better info than I

Constitution says club has to advertise, I have no idea off their intentions some local rumours about new commitee etc.. but when doesn't that happen.[/quote
i heard that paul burgess was a candidate for next season.playing coach
Expect numbers to drop like flies if dixon goes ... It will be kangas/rovers all over again 10 years ago,hes the right man for the job regardless of what hes built the club from the rabble it once was...His recruiting ability has been outstanding and with 2-3 more senior blokes he WILL take them to the 08 flag .. the emphasis on the roos at the end of the prelim was sticking together to keep building on their success. If the commitee get selfish too early because theyve getting a sniff of it, expect things to go pear-shaped
ha ha ha wat about you mate are you keen on the jobConstitution says club has to advertise, I have no idea off their intentions some local rumours about new commitee etc.. but when doesn't that happen.[/quote
