Heathcote DFL discussion 2024

[Red dirt specialist]

If people want to watch a game why shouldn't they be expected to pay for each game? The Game doesn't cost any less to stage on multiple days.

I’ve always thought it’s wrong junior netball is charged admission fees at any times.

Costs stuff all to run netball, player rego more than covers it. Umpires costs are low, no grass to cut or turf to maintain, lines hardly need painting etc.

Just being used as a cash cow to fund footy or in finals case the hub really.

How do you know who's only watching junior netball?

You don’t, but for the tiny amount of parents that might hang around for 2,3 or 4 hours to watch the footy, I think it wouldn’t cause much of an issue to let them in for free.

I think you'd see a incredible rise in the amount of people "just here to watch the kids netball."

Just issue each kid with two passes for every game and problem solved.

While we are at it we should all stop charging admission for any players bar senior football and a grade netball as well in my opinion.

What if the parents are divorced? Step parents have to pay? How about grandparents?

Means any kid can be accompanied by two caregivers free of charge which seems about right to me. So people would use less or more but it’s a good middle ground.

But I’d have no problem dropping admission fees altogether either. Suspect clubs would make most of it back with more other sales anyway.

 

[Forest St End]

See Heathcote has put a toe in the water of legal action regarding the semi final.

Don’t like to see the law involved in grassroots sport but it certainly wouldn’t hurt to see some accountability in the region.

It will be interesting to see what comes of it, Heathcote stated some bylaws were not followed correctly.

I'm sure there is a clause 15 section 2 blah blah blah that states eveything is up to the discretion of the board blah blah blah to save their backside in a situation like this.

What should come of it?

I think your missing the point of the Heathcote footy league forrest. The Heathcote league is majority small communities who enjoy a day at the footy, many families stay for the whole day.

Maybe in major league, it might have some merit but not in community based leagues

They will be Premiers for 2024.

No way, no chance. At my club the gate is worth 40-50K a year with a final. No chance of recouping that.

Just have to slice the same amount out of player payments, easy fixed.

Exactly….there is no way any club could do without the revenue generated by gate takings

Bombers by 2 kicks

 

[Trent the flight Steward]

At least there's no lightning and thunder forecast

What did bussey do? 258 game career first suspension, to miss a grand final

Got Matt Gray in the back of the head with a forearm after a tackle according to the addy

 

[GG Rides Again]

Anyone see an upset happening or White Hills just roll through and win?
LG massive underdog on this one but only have to be good on the day.

 

[Trent the flight Steward]

The skipper out hurts leitchy, but their form in finals has been great, I give them a chance

 

[Trent the flight Steward]

Bartels 8 in the grannie, surely he's first on south's radar
