Thanks mate I’m the current coach
I’m proud of the boys and the club this year and agree with you it would/is one of the hardest jobs going around in footy to rebuild the club.
At the end of last year the coach and most of the side left which is understandable, it was a credit to Marty the last coach who worked hard to get us over 2mil in upgrades to our facilities and put a side on the park (I love him for that)
This year we have signed over 40 new players and have been able to work really hard to get us a budget that sets us up to be competitive next year (at the start of this year it was an unknown how much we could spend)
This year the boys got to play a game with a Brownlow Medallist, we had the Today Show come to our club and you are right Ladbrokes are doing a story on us now as well, the club is doing all it can to be successful and I believe if the Rams can retain the list and pick up some key players we will be in the mix as shown in the early stages of the year where we were competitive (I disagree we only have one player who would get a game in any other side, we have some really good players, we have no depth when injures occur or juniors to rely on. A few years back the Rams had a thirds side which would be great to bring back)
I'm a footy tragic. I hope and believe that we can turn our fortunes around. If you are keen to support us mate I can send you a PM to buy a membership for next year and you can say to everyone you supported a club that needed it when it counts?
Take care

The only winner out of this would be Kyneton.They go from a consistent bottom 4 club to a top 4 (at worst)club immediately.I think Kyneton would be a good get for the league. Means other teams will have to find away and pull their socks up. Keep melton centrals over in the BFL or WRFL. I would love to see my club in the Rdfnl again but I can’t see it happening. Positive times ahead for this great league and bring it on I say.

You dont think the current Rdfl clubs are trying to find a way and pull their socks up already?
They have to drop $30000 from current salary cap.Are players really going to play for less?
This would also mean 2 byes for all clubs again rather than an even fixture of every team playing each other twice.
I repeat again Kyneton would be the only winner.
The winner is the league. Kyneton coming in will be the first piece of a bigger puzzle the RDFL management are putting together. Other league administrators would be envious as to how they are going about things. Whilst it looks like there will be one new club next year, there will be more to follow without doubt. 2 byes per club won’t be a problem for a year - Bendigo for example have 10 teams yet still have 2 split rounds each year. The players, the supporters, the volunteers all enjoy a break during the season. Yes a couple of split rounds make the break even on everyone getting the break at the same time. But as I said it’ll only be for a year with 2 byes.The only winner out of this would be Kyneton.They go from a consistent bottom 4 club to a top 4 (at worst)club immediately.

It could even attract more clubs. Trentham seems to be ideally located but never seems to be mentioned when talk turns to potential new clubs.
Gisborne Giants are close to fielding seniors. Anyone else?
Kyneton have tried a few games under lights. I ventured along to watch one - it’s very difficult to see the game as a spectator, though apparently they are ok from a player’s perspective. The other factor is Kyneton isn’t the warmest place in the world, especially during the evening through the winter!Fingers crossed they do make the move, you hit it on the head, the opposition clu s close by will make the effort to come and watch, which makes more healthier clubs in our region.
I haven't seen what it's like, but are kyn4tons ground lights good enough for night games? Have they done that in the bfnl?
That could a be a major draw card as well. Playing Woodend or Macedon under lights would be a big crowd.

No one will get close!Riddell out is huge. Massive win for Romsey. Who can take down Diggers?
No one will get close!

I know a few blokes from Wallan, and my son son plays juniors there, so it would be good to see the senior body have some success, but they aren't getting near them.I agree. Though I’d like to see Woodend have a good old crack

Must agree they get a side close to their best 22 on the ground they are certainties.I know a few blokes from Wallan, and my son son plays juniors there, so it would be good to see the senior body have some success, but they aren't getting near them.

Shoot-out at Romsey today. Must've been a great watch.
Allready a done deel.Interesting Riddell Football Club have put an add out for senior footballing coach. Very successful club over the years and should get some strong applicants. Already have their captain and vice captains signed on for 2024. Looking forward to what they do next as I’m sure they will be smarting at not being still alive in the finals race. Very proud club thru all grades.
I wouldn't be so sure, rumour has it Stratmore are looking for a new head coachAllready a done deel.
nick ash will be announced very soon
Agree, next Riddell coach won’t be Nick Ash, that’s why they’ve advertised.Allready a done deel.
