Gee thats not a good look. I have just read the comments on Social Media and 2 weeks in a row there has been a rant. Late at night rant after a few by looks of things. I could be wrong but looks like a relative of the President and that certainly isnt a good look, or advertisement of a proud football club.I’m not sure how the league can assist apart from help them with some type of sports management course.
There must be some ownership from the clubs themselves for the position they are in. Control your own narrative roll the sleeves up build a sustainable environment where players can build relationships and grow as people.
The demographics and the ageing suburb stuff is nonsense. On the other side of plenty road you have Heidelberg, Macleod, north Heidelberg and banyule but West Heidelberg continue to drag themselves off the carpet after decades of struggle.
Old Eltham were dead and buried in the vafa and then built up off finding a niche amd attracting players who couldn’t commit to high Div footy for varying reasons, they are surrounded by Eltham warrandyte Panton hill etc.
How many players live within a stones throw of the club they play for? Getting belted every week is horrible obviously but get on social media and promote the positives going on off the field, team connection, volunteer recognition, community engagement. Hold on to your smart people, experienced footy people, business savvy people, your good people, if you don’t have them source them out and build some type of connection with your club and committee and for goodness sake stay off NFNL posts bad mouthing the league and or umpires for your losses.
