Discussion So I crunched the numbers …. again

[Tonga Bob]

Me no, not really. I'm about to have RL kick my arse so no I will not have that much time to give to it.

Ross Lyon kicking your arse? Are you Shane McInnes?

 

[Kilroy]

Lucky we did a Board Tour between Seasons …

Would a ‘Tour Of Duty’ (visiting other boards for recruitment purposes) in between seasons be a waste of time?

Were the ‘Cricket’ and the ‘State of Origin’ successful as recruitment activities or are they (being already on the SweetFA board) more about “retention”?

 

[Tigerturbulance]

We are league leaders in this space.

Dam right! OOBs diversity program and recruitment policies have result in a impressive mix of:
1 Feline
2 Canines
1 Chimpanzee
1 Tiger
1 Hammer
1 Squid
1 Astral body
1 NFL star
1 English Football Star
1 Judge
4 Current and Ex AFL Stars
1 Bionic Million Dollar Man
6 Actors
1 God / Super Hero
1 Love Muscle
1 Tavern Keeper

We need to try something

Cold calling random BF posters isn’t working for The Rats

I am not sure about Cricket … BUT SOO is definitely not for recruitment purposes

My take on the engagement thing is - trying to champion the SFA as whole and working outside your own team control doesn't work and those that try get disgruntled and end up not engaging as a result

We have an Admin who oversees the SFA calendar, fixture and running of the place.

We have a committee who can discuss and make recommendations about what's going on holistically or day to day from team levels.

We have Captains who look after individual clubs, player health and engagement, club admin, records and events.

If teams are not engaging in weekly banter for whatever reason the buck ends with the Captain. Its the Captains energy and engagement that will see us get out of any engagement slump. If every Captain ensures they have a list of at least 15 active posters then there would be no issue. The same with recruitment, if every Captain actively recruited rookies we would have no problem. People say they cant or don't like recruitment and want someone else to do it. OOBs have recruited 21 rookies over 7 seasons with 10 still current and active in the SFA. This didn't happen by chance but through effort and lots of knockbacks. The best way to recruit in my opinion is for the Captain to identify and reach out selling the team they run. We don't need Captains that just want to be Captains for the status of it but because they are willing to do more work than anyone else in their team and I'm not talking about just putting in team sheets but actively driving the team in the team PM and encouraging posting when match threads are languishing.

If a captain wants to use the excuse they don't have the time then they shouldn't be Captains, if no-one else in the team wants to find the time and step up then serious thought should then be given to folding the club.

Either we as a group accept poor performing teams or we actually demand performance from clubs with more than 50% of its list not posting at all for the season. At the moment all a club needs is 22 people on its list to be a club, maybe its time to also demand a number of active players and if that is not met over a couple of seasons then the club is put on notice and removed if they don't meet the requirement for a third season.

We either demand teams be responsible for their performance or we just keep complaining about how the 'SFA' is somehow flat and to blame.

Game over

 

[Kilroy]

At Spotswood we celebrate every season, so if the SFA wants a good venue to book the SFA season 40 celebration we have contacts that can give you great mate rates on a fun party cruise

That’s a generous offer Tigerturbulance and it also makes sense that there might be a number of venues hosting various activities.

Presumably Mobbs would also have some input on celebrations of place and history?

OOB have been celebrating diversity since day one

BRAB was appointed Spotswood's Head of Diversity & Inclusion S35 and as a result we have won many awards in this space, you probably don't know about all these accolades because at Spotswood we are modest and don't like to show off in front of the less fortunate folk.

Also a strong bid as evidenced by how effectively Mrs Turbo and yourself collaborated with SweetFA personalities from other teams to produce the S35 Rising Star

I cant take credit for any of the S35 rising Star stuff except keeping out of Mrs Turbo way

Our team genuinely shares those roles cos it’s too risky having just one of us with all that responsibility and too much of a drain on their enjoyment of the “game”.

Same when discussing the celebrations. We need a whole village involved.
