AFLW 2024 - Round 9 - Indigenous Round - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
apparently big neita stacked a car on the way home from a spotlighting venture a couple of weeks before the season and has done himself a mischeif. Emmett was with him i think. not sure exactly what they have done to themselves. better ask fuzz its his brother and cousin. emmett should be back soon though.
is that a dig at us kdfl followers? are we lesser people?
thanks fuzz wasn't sure. so 3 of the awesome foursome will be back on the park in the next couple of weeks?seperate incidents al. emmett broke his leg in december at a wedding. he's been runner and has been training and is probably a couple of weeks away. nic in a car that hit a tree one night on the way home from spotlighting. several injuries, the most significant of which was a couple of broken vertebrae in his back (which has healed recently) and snapped both his tib and fib. has recently started to but weight on his foot and if all goes to plan should be alright by next season.

I agree with you there bodz, it should be played at a kdfl ground, the kdfl nedds to sit down and look at all venues around the league and see which ones would be best suited to hosting a grand final.
, because here are two blokes that truly know WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.
Thank god that someone here (and to be fair, a few others as well) sees the light
I mean really, do you think for one moment that either Tat, Ky or Mooroopna would risk having their ground & facilities trashed, if they couldn't make a quid from it ? .
It's fair to say that the vast majority of the people here are players, and let's face it, by far the easiest thing you can do at a football club is to play football, so you guys only see the finished product (how it goes on the day as a player or spectator) because I doubt very much that any of you have any idea how hard it is trying to organize a Grand Final.
There is a lot of work that goes into it, you have to put up marquees, get orders in for food, spruce up the ground & facilities, get enough volunteers, get prizes for raffles, provide food for the League Executive etc, and that you need at least a month to get it right.
If the KDFL moved the Grand Final, you wouldn't get the volunteers to help, the league would have to hire that out, which in turn hurts the member clubs through increased affilation fees to pay for all of this.
You don't have to be Nostradamus to see that coming, because finding volunteers to help is hard enough as it is, and if it get moved the likes of myself (and Graham Orr, for those who don't know who he is, he's done the scoreboard & timekeeping at Murch for decades, and does all the KDFL games as well for a long time) , wouldn't bother and I and many others would say "Let them take care of it, why should I waste my time, making another club money".
You need the likes of Graham & myself doing their bit, because no one else (especially those who advocate for the Grand Final to be moved) would, and the message that moving the Grand Final to a venue outside of the KDFL, sends the message out to all 13 clubs and the people that run them, that they and their efforts aren't worth a pinch of s###, because you aren't worthy of hosting the marquee event in our league.
The problems told to us by both Keith Hindson & Elden Wade, are still the same in the sixties as they are today, and it's heartening that these two loyal Lancaster & KDFL men, can see the problems, that the blue sky optimists on this board can't.
For example, the Diamond Valley League held their finals series at Victoria Park, and the Grand Final had a cold, sterile environment about it, and having our Grand Final at Ky, Tat, Mooroopna or Deakin would have the atmosphere.
