AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Agree with what you say Turbo and from what I see at EK, Pat is putting in as much energy (or more) to the Junior program as the Seniors at the moment. He is there all day on a Sunday working his arse off and with the new facilities will hopefully attract more juniors .
I admire all Volunteers and I think the effort Pat is putting in is great, good on him. But don't under estimate all Club Presidents & committees , more so the clubs in each division that are struggling for wins and don't have the resources & $$$$$'s that other clubs have. Pat or any other President are no admirable than any other. These men and woman are putting in just as much and more but do it just to keep the club alive without the carrot of success(immediate)...
Agree. My point was Pat seems focused on the WHOLE club as President, not just the Senior side and this is encouraging to see. YES $$$ are everything and its impossible to succeed without in EDFL without stating the obvious. Certainly not demeaning the role of all volunteers at all clubs as they are what makes them exist. The last President at EK basically lived at the club for 9 years and was instrumental in getting the current facilities via council which should hopefully help attract juniors to ensure long term sustainability.
good on Pat for the time and effort he is putting across the club hopefully he's stays around the club for many years and builds it into a destination club .If he does this will be his legacy at EK
Roys also had about 5-6 guys not playing... Not taking anything away from Marby but seems like both teams had multiple guys missing. Pressure is mounting down at Sewell Res and with Abers this week it gets no easier!
If they were to be relagated they would take it in there stride. Overall there efforts since being promoted have been reasonable I reckon. No 18s and limited juniors doesn’t help but there trying hard.
Thanks for the constructive feedback. I use a small HD camcorder and by the end of the game my eyes are cross-eyed from looking through the small screen. I like to video up close to the action if possible. Hopefully my technique will improve over the next few weeks. Can't wait for next Saturday!
Agree with you re the clash jumpers Turbo. I couldn’t make it to the game Saturday, but from all reports it was extremely difficult for both players and spectators to distinguish between players from either team. Strathmore and EK jumpers are pretty similarly coloured in normal circumstances. In crappy conditions like Saturday it would have been nearly impossible.
I agree with you RE there effort, something tells me they wouldn't be overly happy about being relegated though..
Will be interesting to see. When EK changed jumpers 7 or 8 years ago they wanted to go Navy with Red and Yellow V but were told in was too similar to Burnside and it would look good. Or a Red with Blue and Yellow V would be same as SA State jumper?
Dont think he could get a game after R1?
Re 3 Turbo - Ruppetswood in Div 1 have 2 runners rotating in the seniors, been happening all year! must be allowed??
Yes mate I heard that but under current rules it’s not allowed. Think they got pulled up on this last Saturday.
The other thing about this league that really irks me is coaches box’s for away teams. Clubs putting them in positions that give an unequal view of the ground as some are not on the “wing” area.
l agree Turbo. most grounds face north /south and opposition are looking into sun at northern end on bright days. every bench should be on same side of ground. grounds like strathmore and keilor run east /west and opposition look into sun most of the day. Also noticing very liberal interchange movements. one running on when other player is still 30/40 metres from boundary. It will cause a problem one day when either player gets involved in play whilst both on ground.
) , great vision.
