It’s just that we only seem to hear from Port Colts when things are going good. Parkf00ty gone missing for 2 years

Would love to get him back maybe with the appointment of Gilbee,players might follow. He was at the sportsman day . Honestly guys I’m not in the inner sanctum but when I hear something I will put it up on here . Ps I’m going to find out who is or was Parkfooty. Personally I think appointments like Gilbee is a win for the league as well. And that can only be a good thing in making the SFNL stronger.

Spot on, appointments like this will only raise the profile of the league and potentially attract some more high level talent. Also makes other clubs up the ante

The Top Sefnl clubs would be too big in their current form. Would be going back to the days of Noble and Balwyn domination. It’s an interesting discussion. What’s more attractive to the league, a much stronger top end in div 1 but no chance for others to bridge the gap or an even, competitive competition where playing finals isn’t that far out of reach for all clubs?

It’s whats killed the sefnl. No one can compete with the big 3. No one wants to play in a comp where the best finish most clubs can hope for is 4th place.

I know my club Doveton wouldn’t be keen on another Doveton in the same competition either.

Why couldn't it develop into a great cross town rivalry?

League CEO has announced his 'retirement'

Not a good thing. Another black eye for the league.

The league is all at sea at the moment & the SFNL Board need to be held to account. A) for the appointment of someone not seeing out their term B) for being bedazzled by the resume rather than appointing someone with football experience & C) for doing deals in the interim heavily favouring some teams whilst no one was in the CEO's chair. This bloke wasn't even brought up to speed on the salary cap & player points policy until clubs brought it to his attention. Add to the fact that the SFNL Board have had 2 board members resign this season just gone. Lets hope the next person is appointed with an AFL Victoria recommendation. Or maybe go to the office next door *knock knock "Hi Sarah Loh, can we catch up for a coffee?" May it's what the league needs: a woman's touch

I think appointments and decisions made by afl vic recommendation of recent times have been far from successful so that wouldn’t be the way to go. They have more problems than our comp.

And the player points debacle was not Palmers fault. The policy was coming for 2 years before it was enforced this year and our comp had no idea how to administer it and had done zero preparation. I would imagine he would have been stunned to walk into that storm which was well and truly upon us before he started.

I do agree that HQ needs some more people with recent footy experience in key posts like CEO.

I think some club representation at board level would be great also.

They could do worse than asking Adam sparrow to take the wheel.
