Interesting that Strathpine couldnt get Riley Steet, throwing money at bearly proven deveolpment players from other clubs, but missed on what shouldve been a dead cert, Considering the coaching panel. Good on Riley for staying in the higher level.

Speaking of bearly* (barely) proven senior footballers..

You’re obviously an old boy we haven’t been called Strathpine since 2009. We have lots of money too! So look out we’re buying everyone

Good times in 08 and 09 though

AFLQ strategic plan: Increase fees, decrease service.

Participation numbers are increasing overall masking the substantial cracks in what is being delivered.

2025 fixtures have been released already for most Melbourne metro leagues yet our state league fixture isn’t close. Expect it to come in March/April again.

In fairness to AFLQ they are criminally understaffed. 1 person managing all comps below State league in SE QLD. They tightened and shortened a few timelines for teams wanting to add teams, change leagues, or enter competitions so they can be on top on fixturing and the like. Not sure what the answer is if they have a staffing budget to adhere too.

You wouldn’t want too much of that multi-billion dollar media rights trickling down too far.

Have to ensure A Dillon and L Kane are well remunerated

And fund their woke agenda.

Let alone what clubs pay.

Maybe get some of the staff off their arse that you never see

Not sure the office has recovered from CV19 budget cuts tbh. Nothing is the same since 2020.

Nope. The worker bees get paid 2/5ths of **** all for the work they do. No idea where the money gets filtered out of the AFL and the comp fees

Yeah agree with that. Competitions are growing with advent of female footy but the staff to oversee haven't.

 

[Miller1971]

with an absentee leader taking all the credit

must be hard to work there and have to look at her with a straight face.

 

[freddyfudrucker]

But she/her/they is up for an award as administrator of the year

So if there were budget cuts during covid I can understand the staff cuts.
But covid is over and fees have been restored and in some cases increased.
More teams now and heaps of women's teams now contributing to the pot.
I'm no maths professor but more money should surely mean a couple more staff to help.
Is it a case of jobs that are irrelevant and overpaid top end positions or are they financially irresponsible.

AFLQ get approx $1,650 per team entered from clubs in the adult space. The rest goes towards insurance, umpires, match footballs, awards night etc. Not sure what higher levels pay. I don't imagine that covers the costs they have and a lot comes from the AFL.
