On the community camps. Essendon had theirs in Bendigo either 2022 or 2023. They came to some schools around Castlemaine and SPOKE to the kids. They weren't there to run a clinic! I have kids at two of the small schools they went to. One principal was able to talk them into having a kick with the kids at lunchtime.Yep agree and the afl could certainly help these areas. Surely Greg madigan comes back and says community camps next year at corowa, Maryborough, Benalla, Tatura etc. And play practise games there leading up to the season. There's a real disconnect between afl and community clubs even though the afl has the majority of leagues under their umbrella.
When do we see afl clubs now come up to the regions and do clinics? Surely as full time footballers it's not hard, surely they don't require that many team meetings
They did run a clinic out of school hours at Wesley Hill for kids around the district, but you're kind of preaching to the converted there. There needs to be more in the schools getting kids from non-footy families interested in the game. As an added note to that the CFC Juniors been more active in the last couple of years to work with schools. AFL CV have also provided some support with that too.
