Does anyone know if there's any thought to the league extending the 1/4ers? 22-25 minutes just seems to go so quick.

Couldn’t agree anymoreDoes anyone know if there's any thought to the league extending the 1/4ers? 22-25 minutes just seems to go so quick.
It’s the time keepers, whether under instruction by the league or not, they don’t stop the clock during the quarter outside of goals for some reason. All EDFL quarters seem to go for 30 mins, where as Riddell consistently under 25 mins. Often 3/4 time of metro games at completion of a Riddell DFL game.Couldn’t agree anymore
alternating between Bendigo and Riddell games most weeks, RDFL is too short
On average about 10 mins less per quarter but an extra 5 minutes between each break
Time on should defiantly be called when the ball goes out of bounds, not just after goals like it is in the RDFL
I've always noticed that Grem. RDFL games are complete whilst EDFL games are still going with plenty of play left yet they start at the same time.

When I was playing in the 18s it was 20 without time. Ressies were 25 and the seniors were 20 with time. Obviously it's changed to a certain degree?Correct, the games run 20 mins and time on and it shows out the most in finals (or it had done, can't remember if they changed it last year), but the U19's and Reserves played 25 minute flat quarters in finals and the seniors maintained 20 plus time on and majority of the minor games ran much longer than the senior finals.
For senior football, it is far too short.

Is this a district league thing? It's actually first I've ever really heard any discussion on it?That might be right actually.
But either way, the Reserves were playing 25 minute quarters and the senior games often lasted between 21 and 24 minutes. No Reserves quarters should be longer than that of the Seniors.

They also have clock stoppages at every out of bounds and multiple points of play. The RDFNL only stop after a score.

Romsey by 56 v Lancefeild
Macedon by 7 v wallan
Diggers by 7 v Riddell
Woodend by 7 v Centrals
Also when umpires blows time on.They also have clock stoppages at every out of bounds and multiple points of play. The RDFNL only stop after a score.
Wonder if the change in rules regarding time on is to cater for some of the older bodies joining the RDFL recently
Late and stupid question but did Kyneton have to change their jumper when they came in to the comp?
Fairly decisive. Was going to go and have a look. Glad I opted to stay at home in front of the fire.The Riddell diggers score can’t be right surely?

Amazing result.
Welcome back, Steven Boyall who I personally thought was outstanding. Throw in Gilchrist (B) and Stewart (C) who both played leading rolls in the win as well. Could add another 5 or 6 who all played well too.
The race for 5th is interesting.
Boy all is a terrific player
