Wow that’s huge if it’s it’s true, they always seem like a pretty solid club.hearing out there that Heights are about to close the doors.
Hope it's not true, however in not looking at the broader picture of football in the West and having a simple Div 1 focus there is a real risk up to 5 clubs may not be with us in the next 2 years with only 2 divisions. If this is what people believe is best for the code, this is what is likelyhearing out there that Heights are about to close the doors.
Wrong club and he has a senior gig just down the roadhearing legend of the Wrfl Scotty O’Neill to be coaching braybrook 2’s
The State government has announced that 22 new primary schools will be built in the western suburbs over the next few years.Hope it's not true, however in not looking at the broader picture of football in the West and having a simple Div 1 focus there is a real risk up to 5 clubs may not be with us in the next 2 years with only 2 divisions.

100% spot on.The State government has announced that 22 new primary schools will be built in the western suburbs over the next few years.
Has anybody thought of forming a consortium of clubs, especially in the Wyndham hinterland to approach schools to participate in a local primary school competition.
It's a perfect way to introduce non-AFL families (read soccer) to our game.
If it doesn't happen, the local clubs and the WRFNL will wither on the vine.
There is an opportunity here.
I Heard it from the horses mouth. Braybrook 2’s wanted me to come play for him… despite me being 40 years oldWrong club and he has a senior gig just down the road
100% he will be a senior coach in 2024, announcement is imminent.I Heard it from the horses mouth. Braybrook 2’s wanted me to come play for him… despite me being 40 years old
Also I doubt highly he’d get a senior gig, not knocking the bloke I like the guy but I think he’s more suited to the twos
Can happen if done correctly. I’ve noticed a lot more kids and parents of sub continental origin getting involved in the game which is fantastic! We need to be realistic about our demographic100% spot on.
Best and fairest boards in the future should be filled with Patels and Singh's!
Any hints in the RDFL with Rockbank?100% he will be a senior coach in 2024, announcement is imminent.
Squeaky Clean,100% spot on.

Brilliant mate.Squeaky Clean,
You and I have been on about this issue for (probably) three years.
Apart from you, not one person has shown any interest (on this forum) in trying to co-ordinate a junior AFL schools’ competition within the Wyndham and surrounding regions. If we do nothing, other sports will overrun our beloved AFL (and the WRNFL).
I am happy to be a forerunner to a team of local AFL followers in approaching schools, and having them up and running in 2024.
Volunteers don’t need to be attached to a local club.
We know that the Werribee and Williamstown VFL teams are filled with players aspiring to greater heights. How many are locals representing their municipalities?
Williamstown VFL has (only) 5 local players, all of whom have been pushed up by the Williamstown CYMS AFC.
I am unaware of how many Wyndham locals represent the Tigers, hopefully, there is a contingent from local clubs.
There is a flourishing H/Bay Friday morning local junior school AFL competition (girls and boys all in together) which must help the local junior clubs, viz Altona, Newport Juniors, Spotswood, Willi Juniors and YSE.
Such a competition would benefit the Wyndham junior football clubs, and then …. Onwards and upwards?
SC, should you be interested in being part of the formation of a local Primary Schools’ league, I can be contacted through ‘Over the Post’.
Other WRFL, interested people, and school advocates are very welcome to contact me through OTP.
SCBrilliant mate.
I think the most affective way forward would be a joint venture between the AFL and local clubs.
I.e schools identified to be aligned with clubs and with the AFL community officers and Clubs, work together to get s football program together, organise uniforms, etc maybe discounted fees etc for weekend footy, and bring back the interschool comps that used to be around that were allowed to die on the vine.
I think the credibility of the AFL would need assistance of state government to open doors.
Just my two cents, but clubs need to be pushing AFL house for this assistance
Great idea to get State schools to play afl it doesn't happen now walk past a PS and there all playing soccer.The State government has announced that 22 new primary schools will be built in the western suburbs over the next few years.

I'm happy to kick it off, but I will need support from people like you and Squeaker.Great idea to get State schools to play afl it doesn't happen now walk past a PS and there all playing soccer.
In my day we played the local schools on Friday West Footscray Maidstone Braybrook Footscray Totty Nth North Footscray it was great.
Wow! Amazing appointment by themVinny Turcinovich appointed coach at Tarneit, good appointment for the Titans.
Won premierships at both tooWasn’t he sacked from YSE and then sacked from Braybrook ? just askin…
Who said? There are two types of coaches those who have been sacked, and those who are waiting to be sacked. Probs need to know the reasons behind it, rather than just saying he was sacked. Seems like a good appointment for Tarneit, can’t imagine coaching Divy 3 clubs are high priority for people, but time will tell.Wasn’t he sacked from YSE and then sacked from Braybrook ? just askin…
Was not sacked at either. Was not offered a contract at YSE at the expiry of his contract and had already moved on when Braybrook asked to discuss a new contract.Wasn’t he sacked from YSE and then sacked from Braybrook ? just askin…
It’s actually crazy if true.Post on RDFL thread suggesting Rockbank at a special meeting have voted to look to join the WRFL but WRFL not 100% committed to them.
Not currently a strong club but in a growing area, there's some potential there, interesting from WRFL' s point of view.
