[Donald D]

So are you inferring that the previous CEO did a good job?

Anyone know how many div 1 teams will have thirds?

Last year there was:

Hillside
Keilor Park
Tullamarine
St Albans
Glenroy

I think that was it. I assume all the above will go round again.

Glenroy is the interesting one… lots of people have reported really low numbers at training, they could struggle to get a reserves side up every week but my understanding is they have a big group of players that play Thirds on Friday nights and can’t play on a Saturday due to work

Will the league allow them to play thirds if they forfeit reserves?

I see Roxy have announced a thirds team on their fb page.

I think you only have to play a 1s and you dont have to have a reserves

Surely you have to have a reserves side to have a thirds side.

Wouldn’t that affect the integrity of the thirds comp?

Think ots more about people who cant play saturdays and still wanting to play footy?

quite a few club just get a fee on the day for the thirds some between 20 to 30 bucks to pay the umpires if they get them and put a few bucks in the coffers

 

[Aucklander]

Interesting clearances. As predicted Westmeadows look to be in trouble which is good news for KP, Craigieburn and MV.

No Ranno up yet. Has he been confirmed to a club yet?

Any practice match news?

Kenneth and Church denied by WM not much sense in keeping players that dot want to be there

if you need 5k of memberships the club is already on its knees

 

[Potato Chops]

And who put them there ??
It’s unbelievable that anyone can feel soory for Westmeadows. Did any of you people go to the Dane Swan days, they should still have money from that. We forget pretty quick. The president then at Westy is now on the EDFL board (alarm bells )
And the EDFL board need to be held to account as well. They propped this club up with a false economy by letting them not pay their fees. All that happens is your pocket keeps emptying until the big bad wolf knocks on your door and says pay up.

Fair point. Always get a good crowd at home games and seem to have a healthy following & full teams of juniors, what is the reason for being unfinancial?

Sponsorship ?

 

[Big kick]

Sponsorship ?

When it rains it pours for westmeadows. Looks like they are not going to have an u16s side this year.

I’m pretty sure sponsorship brings money in.
If you promise to pay players more than you can guarantee to get in then you will always fail.
Oh well someone has to finish last I suppose

or poor management ?

Most clubs only have 1 option when appointing an executive committee because there is only 1 person nominating for that role... So if that person/s struggles with that role , then who is to blame? Either appoint them and hope for the best or the other choice is shut the doors, put the Club in recess...... You can all sit back and point the finger but that is reality, and that is why we are seeing more and more clubs fold

When was the last time Glenroy and westmeadows got a wooden spoon in b grade 2023 ahahaha

I have made this point numerous times about the lack of volunteers and the amount of crap they have to do to satisfy the Bloody afl, I do agree with you but if you put your hand up then you do the job the best you can , Even blind Freddie can see you cannot spend more dollars out going than you have dollars in coming at some time you have to pull the reins in and tighten your belt for the future of the club .look at what happened to jacana they sold the farm for a premiership now the look like they are done for good . finger crossed for west for a good long term out come

both - hard to get any set sponsorship $$$ since covid and doesn't help when president lives & works in brisbane 80% of the year, also struggling with keeping juniors especially the young girls most are or have transfered to other clubs as per clearances, i don't think wm know what will hit them when they can't fill junior sides, they have been very strong over previous years with a great junior program, so what's going wrong, who knows

no money and a bad rep after the finals issues in the senior woman's last year, not a destination club and everyone wants out, club falling apart at the seams
