Just what is the rule mate, is he allowed to run messages out? If you were there you would have seen he was constantly running messages. hard to do that staying with a zone. He was not just pacing up and down the boundary

I'm not sure that is the best option, As rumors have been throughout the year, (IMO i dont think any will, yet) but if another team from the RDFL was to make the move across, surely after Sunbury coming in and dominating, would Div 3 clubs want them or push them straight into div 2. I see...

It will be interesting to see who cheers on who this weekend, As i'm sure most clubs would love to see Sunbury get beaten, but at the same time could fear that to happen and have another season with them in Div 3.

In the best interest of the EDFL it must sustain an even 3 division competition aiming at even team numbers across the 3 grades. To introduce any new club straight into Div 1 would throw it out of balance. what effect would that have. Obviously there would be a relegated club but what for the...

A little contradicting there, fearing only having 6 teams with 2 missing finals, but stating the league needs to look after the clubs nit bringing in teams on the outer. Do you really believe that bringing in a side like Sunbury is making exiting teams vulnerable, I think there are fishing in a...

Sunbury, East Sunbury, Jacana. Northern Saints are made up from from memory 3 clubs, Moomba park and North Fawkner merged to create Fawkner park only to merge again into Northern Saints.:D I know im being technical now. lol.

Maybe they could call Div 2, The RDFL division as 4 of the 9 clubs are Ex RDFL. :D :p

I Believe a number of The Kangas netballers chose to play football instead of netball.

If you can get internet on phones why cant these clubs set up a phone as a WIFI hotspot for several minutes to update quarterly. Im no tech head but i would assume you would not need super high speeds

I have seen them tirelessly trying to recruit netball players and coaches, but with no luck. If they get fined for not fielding sides, that is out of their control, surely they need to consider alternatives. I believe they have considered it in the past but didn't want to leave their netballers...

It used to be voted for Crowd behavior, Player behavior and Coaches bench behavior.

why wouldn't they be, the league is falling apart, I believe one factor for staying was the netball, although they struggled to get teams together this year.

I can imagine everybody at East Sunbury are Laughing their A$$es off. The RDFL clearly has a plan to self destruct. First the National embarrassment of the Junior competition capping scores and rewards. If that wasn't enough for parents and kids to be encouraged to move to the more professional...

More news to add fuel to the fire with the EDFL changing their under 18 age group to under 19&a1/2. Will this also cause local sunbury and surrounding clubs to lose out.?

One will get $500 to sweep the home rooms the other will get $500 to sweep the Away rooms. :D

IMO i would think it be crazy to start in div 2 if they have been offered div 1. The risk that they cannot win div2 in the first year as some would say, could tarnish them and cause other problems. To start in Div 1, test the waters and go from there, would be ideal. The chances of being...

This question and answer is irrelevant. Time on in the RDFL is only blown time off after the ball exits the feild. (Scores or boundary) :p

Its interesting to read "The Rupertswood umpire" Am i missing something? Clubs haven't needed to supply umpires for over 20 years. I believe what you meant to say was the RDFL umpire with history.:) I think you will find most umpires have a history with a football club, then make the move...

One thing I learnt over the years, always have departures on good terms. The grass is not always greener on the other side, I take it you wouldn't want him to change his mind. Now I know that was a quote it's not directed at you.

If I were president of a club I believed to be right in the mix, and clearly below the cap Why would I vote to make success even harder?

Small-town = less players = less sponsors. More points = higher budget divided by No money = no recruits

How do you recruit and attract players of decent quality without a carrot to dangle in front of them. Come and play for Rockbank were a battling club, with a great social calender, A caravan park and maccas down the Highway. It is hard work to recruit. For starters you need people that want to...

I think you will find Ballarat FL clubs pay a percentage of their gate to the league. Unless things have changed in the past 5 years RDFL clubs pocket everything from H&A Gates.

With whats been said about Diggers recruiting, and shuffling points around to leave blokes out during the season to stay under the cap. They might need to find a loop hole that a points cap is only in the home and away season. Hard to make a grand final without fielding your best side in the finals

For years they had the pleasure of hosting the grand final and boosting the bank to have a decent crack every 4 or 5 years. 2 Years now with out the big dance, the question is can they financially keep up without it. If not, it is proof the RDFL should share game day revenue among clubs during...

It looks like its just up to AFL Victoria now, sad to see Kilmore leave the RDFL BREAKING: Local Footy understands Northern FL clubs have voted unanimously in support of Kilmore's application to transfer from the RDFL. The Blues will play in NFL Division 3 in 2016 if the move is approved by AFL...

You are entitled to your opinion. Although it sounds biased from where you sit, fair enough, and you do make some valid points. When i started playing for Sunbury Rovers 20 years ago, 20 goal floggings was an every week occurrence.Sometimes going goaless. But socially the club was alive and...

Geez your a Flog, Have you ever heard of the saying, If you've got nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. Unless your his shit stirring brother with an alias, show some respect to people having a go, he wears his heart on his sleeve and probably does more for the RDFL and football than anybody...

James Hird is looking for a gig :D

Just wondering when does the season start ???
