Exactly any club worth their salt, should already know what they want and go out and have 10-15 guys on a wish list and start off with your top 3 to gauge their interest and sell the club.


Coaching adverts, were put in club constitutions for advertising, as that's how you used to get a big name coach from the vfl, asking for acceditation doesnt mean they can coach anyway
Agree Trent though a couple of ads on social media can’t hurt cost nothing and reach far and wide I think the days of advertising in local papers and so on are a thing of the past but you are right and club that’s fair dinkum will have a list of names and go from there and if there are any applicants as a result of a social media post then you’d probably sift through them pretty quickly and move on
Is anyone else hearing what I’m hearing that there will be a huge amount of change in the coaching fraternity next year or are the things I’m hearing off the mark?
 
I can’t remember Square, Strath or Sandhurst advertising too often.

Will certainly be interesting to see what plays out. There are a few clubs with guys that have been there for a while. Do those clubs need a new voice or is change for the sake of change a risk.

Or from the addy first Forrest

Westy gets more stories from these forums than anywhere else I reckon.

No doubt in my mind this is what is being discussed on Sunday.


Interested if anyone is hearing rumblings about the unification of AFL CV leagues?

Am hearing a restructure proposal is imminent that will wipe out the existing leagues and create a multi division tiered competition.

I’ve heard AFL CV will absorb the Maryborough Castlemaine League which will remain as is, but Harcourt and potentially Carisbrook will join the new leagues.

What do you mean? Not respected in Castlemaine??

Not especially I wouldn’t have thought. Bit of a non entity these days now no one seems to read the Addy.

Even in better days for newspapers we never saw him much, generally Richard Jones seems to get games at the Camp.

Mind you that might be because I’ve heard three or four different people threaten physical harm on him over the years after stuff he’s gone with. Adam Bourke was another who was persona non grata but I’m not even sure if he’s a journo any more?
 
Addy reporting meeting on Sunday between commission and all the Bendigo, Heathcote and Loddon Valley league clubs to discuss the future.

You heard it here first!
These meetings are generally a meeting of AFLVIC ops managers and league admins and doesnt include league executives at all. ;Last year was a 3 day sojourn to Rich River which acheived nothing. Would not be holding my breath waiting for any change or information from this just another meeting of those with their noses in the trough.
 
Another loss to Strathfieldaye... why can we talk about the "elephant in the room"? Wilson is stepping down. But has the damage been done? Curnow, Coates, Shultz, and both Geary's can't stand him and won't go back. His dictatorship with his cronies has only been detrimental to the club.
 
Didn’t strath tell Shannon if we went to Eaglehawk he wouldn’t be allowed to coach his sons junior side so was pretty much forced to stay because he had promised his son and his sons mates he would coach them this year

As for my boys. What a difference it is having close to a full strength side. 6 straight in the last quarter against the wind to wind by 3 points. Finals whilst a slim chance, still no nail in the coffin yet

Elephant in the room??? What more can a bloke do for a club?

Detrimental?? Jesus imagine what success would look like then?
 
Almighty win by Kyneton over Gizzy! Well done Tigers
This was a match that had a lot of interest in it to the general BFNL football public - probably as much as any this season. Clearly a great game, however unless you were at the ground you would know nothing about it until probably today. Absolutely NOTHING come through on play hq live scores during the afternoon. I was listening to Fresh FM who were covering Sandhurst v South and they were asking anyone at the game to phone through the scores as they were just as much in the dark as the rest of it. (They were doing a very good job providing regular updates on the Flat v Castlemaine game which was also close).

Can someone at Kyneton please rectify this next time you are playing at home, especially as you are back in the race for the finals.

At least 2 games don’t work on live scores every week. It’s a joke.

Surely one of the 27 people working at AFL CV should chase that up on a Monday morning and make sure it is sorted out.

Play HQ live scoring is hopeless. Should be set up like what RDFL and EDFL have (sometimes has faults) but pretty reliable.

Or one of the 27 go to the ground and do it themselves so the volunteers can concentrate on the important things... like running the club on game day

I wouldn’t say it is hopeless, other clubs seem to be able to use it. But unless a volunteer wants to go out of their way to learn how to use it then yeah it’s useless.
I’m in a differnt league but it was one email telling us it was live and ready to use, and a few steps in the same email on how to do use it.
A little bit of volunteer support would go along way.
