Unfortunately Trent I think so! IMO this is exactly what the AFL want, club's to fall out here & there until they have the number they want!Pretty sad day for grassroots footy, broady is a growing town, must be close to 6k living there, they couldn't stay in the outer east, is this going to be the start of more of this in country Vic
My reason for thinking this is because isn't it weird that with the amount of clubs that have gone into recess over the last 10yrs what have we heard about it? How many investigations or enquires have the AFL done?? ZERO that I've heard or seen? Why?? Because the only fault they would find is their own & hey that can't be made public?
Usually a very successful organisation (which the AFL is) would run certain process or procedure everytime they have a loss of production or failed business venture? Well that's what each & every metro & country grassroot club is to the AFL? It's what keeps their organisation running is it not? But why do we not see the results of any investigations or enquires because there is NONE! Why? Because at this stage the "Head Organisation" (AFL) see their business as to over populated & don't care if a few "fall away" here or there!
This is just my opinion, but surely if the AFL cared for the clubs, the towns & the people they'd be doing alot more to keep these communities alive & involved..... ♂
