RDFL Thread 2008

[justchecking]

Hmm I was told today that it was the senior club running the day. Irrelevant if it is the junior or senior club, it should be a senior R.D.F.L club running the day. I would prefer Rockbank or even better Macedon running the day than the Bloods. Considering both Rockbank and Centrals compete with sponsorship dollars against the bigger clubs in Melton and Melton South (which we are disadvantaged) I would have thought that this would in some way help out with our financial situations. The league needs to have a serious look at this and really need to look after the senior clubs in the R.D.F.L and their futures and not line the pockets of clubs outside of it!

Well done to Rockbank, awesome effort and I have no doubt you will knock off Kilmore this week. Good luck guys! Can anyone tell me when Rockbank last notched a win (besides last week) and when was the last time they put two wins together?? good one for the trivia buffs!

I will tell you why the Bloods senior club has to run it, because they hold the liquor licence. You can only have one liquor licence, at one location, at one point in time. You cannot apply for a temporary licence when a licence exists for that location. The Bloods liquor licence would be for the complete football season (the cricket club would have the other 6 months). Booth licences (tents) must relate back to a Location based Licence (their rooms). Without the Bloods licence you would not be able sell alcohol at the main ground. Check Mate - drop your pants!!!!

There will only be one location to buy alcohol....

Hey ease up on the apparel pal.......... Guess some of us are just leaders & some of us are mere followers ! Which are you ?

I can really see you soon champ modelling the latest in official RDFL wear............. Say an RDFL Moo Moo or perhaps an RDFL Caftan or Navy Blue & White RDFL adorned Poncho maybe ?

Just make sure you dont forget to wear your Mansiere this time eh.

By the more recent of posts it looks as though I am a follower... Lets be honest, as long as it is free, I will wear it...

You might know more than me here but let me explain the situation as I know it. Melton Centrals will sell from their clubrooms and a booth under their liquor licence. Any alcohol sold from those outlets can only be consumed in-accordance with their licence. Their licence will only cover the number 2 ground. You can not carry alcohol into another licenced area, e.g. number 1 ground as that is covered by the Bloods liquor Licence. This is why bringing alcohol in to grounds on any game day is a breach of the home clubs liquor licence. BYO is not allowed. If the RDFL thinks it can sell alcohol at the number 2 ground and then carry it into the number 1 area they need to have a look at the licencing act/rules. My understanding is it would be breaking the law.

You may be spot on.. I am only highlighting the information as I know it....

Um.... Isn't that where you normally get information????

The only thing I would agree with you is that the Board made the decision - I don't think Scott is that silly!

Your completely right, I have it on good authority that he was spewing they made the decision to have the game away from Macedon. He thought they could play the netball at another venue or even on the tennis courts.

Now he is going to cop everyones rath.......

 

[Kings Army]

There is no finals schemozzle.. The board made their decision on where and when finals would be hosted. The same as they do every year.. Unfortunately for some and luckily for others.. Its a decision that has been made and passed at board level.. Story finished.

The schemozzle is the format not the location.

How is this fair - Macedon finish 6th with 10 losses for the year Riddell finish top without a loss. Riddell have a harder final against the 2nd placed team than Macedon playing the 3rd placed team. Riddell and Macedon win and they then become equal. Both have the double chance both have 2 chances to go into the Grand Final. SCHEMOZZLE!!

 

[Wait a minute]

I thought we all new about the Finals system at the start of the season and it has taken till now to realise it mighnt be the best final 6 system around but heres the challenge. We know there is only two final 6 systems availbe can we think or make up a better one. Remember it gave the RDFL another finals game.

The Ballarat one is not ideal but is better. The change that should be made next year is the highest winner out of 3, 4 and 5 gets to take on the winner of 1 and 2. At the moment 6th can win 2 games and be in a Grand Final - 4 and 5 have to win 3 to make it. Finishing 6th is better than 4th or 5th which does not make sense. Enough said about this topic from me.

1 V 6
2 v 5
3 v 4

Two highest ranked winners play off in the 2nd Semi (Winner to GF/Loser to Prelim)
Two lowest ranked losers are eliminated.
3rd highest ranked winner and 3rd highest ranked loser play off in 1st Semi (Elimination, Winner to Prelim)

First week finals held at the home of the higher ranked team.
Following weeks held at selected grounds.

 

[Itsmyshow]

The other idea I heard that I didn't mind either was

1st and 2nd get week 1 off and play in the 2nd Semi (Winner to GF/Loser to Prelim)

1st week
3 v 6 and 4 v 5 - Winners play off in 1st Semi (Winner to Prelim)

 

[Sunqvist]

good to see matt nicholls post again. any chance for bowen and flag odds again? not just matt but anyone who wants to have a go

for this weeks gamers i think my tips are

Rockbank to go two in a row against kilmore who struggling but i heard they played not too bad last week against walln. 30 points
Sunbury off beating woodsy last week should beat the cats at home by about 6 goals
Riddell to beat lanny by about 80 odd without too much problem
Diggers should smash romsey who will hit prety hard early as they would have been shattred after losing last week but diggers to good 60 points

 

[dons08]

to those at riddell bomber did not vomit in the pub last friday it was just a joke hope that clears the air for you bomber.

 

[OMNIPOTENT_1]

Sorry SIR, no RDJFL anymore, i remember voting for us to be 1 entity now. That was two years ago....you need to update your knowledge

Well thank you for that, I stand corrected then.

So that then clears up the Bloods Finals fund raising issue at our Final........ be it Juniors or Seniors running it - Melton Bloods will ultimately gain our RDFL $$$ on that day !
& whats more - with the way the junior clubs make shit loads of $$$$$, it could be said that the RDFL has been Financial propping up the likes of these BFL & BFL Club/s for years now !

Good..... I am glad we sorted that out.

 

[ronald mcdonald]

Anyone out there. Pickles etc Who will make the top six? How many goals will James end up with? The team of the year line-up as with a much evener competition should produce an even spread of club representatives? Make for interesting reading

 

[OMNIPOTENT_1]

Maybe you should speak to Centrals and ask them why they are "subletting" the canteen to Melton JUNIOR Football Club, another RDFL club

Because its irrelevant to me why they are doing it, I dont care why !

Its being done, they are doing it...............So I & many others wont be Financially supporting a BFL clubs Fund raising efforts at one of OUR Finals.................... end of story !

 

[Hutchy by Name]

You've missed the whole point Davo! Who said Centrals were subletting the canteen? It's not by choice. The Bloods will not allow Centrals use their precious facilities! In the Bloods eyes, it's not Centrals canteen to sublet, it's what they are saying to make themselves look like they're helping the league! RDFL wanted to run a double headed but the pompous big wigs at Melton only agreed to this if they were to run the main oval! Melton have the council bent over with that ground. You need permission from the Bloods to run finals and school carnivals not the council. That's how it's run in Melton! Talk about corrupt!!

Again the choice to run the game here and not Macedon just stinks!!

Wonder what Centrals had to do to use the ground at the start of the year???

perhaps the rdfl should switch the matches to the m.c.g and allow centrals and the cats 2 split the takings?????

 

[OMNIPOTENT_1]

I rest my case !

 

[Mongrel]

you dont have the facts, its easy for you to get on here and bag Melton JFC but you need the facts, ask centrals, instead of making assumptions

thers nothing wrong with your statement davo,but i think if u look a bit deeper,the community seems 2 be more than a bit upset that macedon arent hosting a final.and yes i know u are defending sum of the talk about melton juniors etc.fair enuf.but i think most people who are having a say on here deep down just wanna drink cans on the hill at macedon and watch a final.surely u cant blame them 4 that

Here here Mongrel I have had many great days on that hill watching footy at the pointy end of the season

We seem to be going round in circles here because you either cannot or will not accept the facts !
So look closely & I will spell it out for you exactly where I stand on this issue once again......... & for the last time:

1. I dont care where the RDFL hold that final.

2. I am not bagging the Melton FC or Melton JFC. (although I believe we established already with your help of course that they were one in the same entity)

3. I dont think it is appropiate that a Junior club make money off a Senior Final..... & vise versa.

4. I dont think that it is appropriate that a BFL Club raise Money at an RDFL Final.

5. I dont think that it is right or proper that a Junior or BFL Club raise money at an RDFL Final at the expense of one of our own Senior RDFL Clubs doing so.

Moreover the more this issue is kept running the more it will be percieved,......as it should be, in a Negative light.

I am not sure what your motives on this issue are champ, cause you just seem to keep argueing about the merits of this decision, when logic would suggest that ALL parochial RDFL people would be Aghast & Appalled at it.
I know I am !
Perhaps you should state your interest or conection in this before you make well & certain that the Melton Bloods (Juniors or Seniors) wont be able to sell a single musk stick or glass of cordial on that day !

I agree with you but Omni is not talking about that. I don't know all the facts about Macedon so I have not commented. All i know the man in charge at head office is spewing the board made that decision, to the point he wondered what the hell he is doing there. I hope i don't get him in trouble for that.
