I’m just scrolling through their content and it’s literally harmless. Would love to hear the leagues thoughts on this.

From the horses mouth.

For example to get the footy show down at the club for promotional activities over pre-season we require NFNL approval.
What a farkin joke & no wonder senior level club administrators are leaving in big numbers.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER MEMO

TO: NFNL AFFILIATED CLUBS
CC: NFNL STAFF
FROM: MARTIN STILLMAN
SUBJECT: REVISED NFNL SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY
DATE: 16 OCTOBER 2024

Dear Affiliated Clubs,
Re: NFNL Social Media Policy
Policy Overview:

➢ At the NFNL Board of Directors meeting last night, the board endorsed the attached Social
Media Policy, inclusion section 4.
All NFNL-affiliated clubs are strictly prohibited from engaging with or supporting any media
platforms, including social media forums or pages, that have not been explicitly approved by the
NFNL. This applies to all forms of media, including but not limited to:
• Print media
• Online news outlets
• Social media platforms
• Podcasts, video blogs, or any other digital communication channels
Requirement for Written Approval:
Before any club can interact with non-NFNL-endorsed media outlets, they must seek and obtain
written approval from the NFNL. This written approval must come directly from the league’s
authorized representatives to ensure that all communications align with the league's values,
messaging, and strategic objectives. Failure to do so will result in clubs being subject to disciplinary
measures.
Potential Disciplinary Actions:
Any club found to be in violation of this policy - whether by directly engaging with non-endorsed
media outlets or by indirectly supporting them - may face significant consequences. Disciplinary
actions may include, but are not limited to:
• Financial penalties
• Suspension of club activities or privileges within the league
• Formal reprimands
• Possible disqualification from league events

Should you seek any further clarification please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours Sincerely,

Martin Stillman
Chief Executive Officer
Northern Football Netball League

OK then slow deep breath and go.
This is a really disappointing development the guys and gal's at the northern footy show are genuinely trying to support and help teams/clubs/supporters in the NFNL.

So the best thing that the league can think of is sic the legal team onto them, when that had little to no effect because club/supports actually liked feeling like someone cared about more than just the bottom line the leagues only response is to basically outlaw them.

Anybody that HAD their rose coloured glasses on still and tried to beleive the league has the clubs best interests in mind surely can start to see reality.

NFNL prior, current and future policies have and always will be,
WE ARE THE BOSS just ask us
YOU WILL DO AS YOU ARE TOLD or be fined
DONT DARE MAKE US LOOK INCOMPETENT we don't the need help


END RANT sorry
