RDFNL 2024 Season discussion

[Coach_Beard]

22-23yo is a stretch. if Guys can turn 20 after June they qualify by the rules so the 6 i assume have turned 21 and surely not 22 or 23.
either way it is quite a poor luck no matter how it is sold.

 

[Humphrey BB]

Agree, hardly worth pissing & moaning about ffs. We all know why they’re getting concessions, but yeah 22-23 yr olds Fresh, cmon man that’d be a stretch surely

 

[Professor Pericles]

Prett sure Fresh runs with "Never let the truth stand in the way of a good story"

Absolutely horrible ruling if you ask me.

Absolutely horrible ruling if you ask me.

was only full aware of it after a trip to RDFL last week. if its all about giants keeping a group together for 2025 yet they win a comp then it’ll definitely remain with an * in they eyes of everyone else. i am told though that only 2 of your clubs didn’t utilise an exemption this year so perhaps other conversations need to be had otherwise this remains an ongoing issue.

disclaimer like all the covid titles awarded in i think it was 2021. still cant believe there are clubrooms with premiership flags or photos on display from that period.

will be joining his brother James at Kyneton next year.

Would he be the biggest signing in league history?

Great for the club and the league if it's true. Hearing the Grimes brothers heading to Diggers also!

Pretty big signing if it happens.

Biggest I can think of, may be Barry Hall at Broadford in 2013

Souths in or out as clubs voted last night?

I'm glad all the Gissy "Under 19s" will be able to share the day with all their wives and kids.

They will get in. It was a silent vote. Senior clubs voted against and junior clubs voted in favour. More junior clubs than seniors. I personally think it’s a terrible decision as it will cause an unbalanced senior fixture.

What do you mean by unbalanced mate? With Giants coming in also the RDFL goes from 9 clubs to 11 in the Senior Fixture - meaning there's still 1 team with a bye each week

With an 18 game draw, all sides won’t play each other twice. Simples

So it remains unbalanced with the added everyone will not play each other twice

 

[drspotto]

Understood now - RDFL would have to scale the fixture to accomodate surely

 

[Morgs senior]

Ah yeah understood - RDFL miss out on 1 x matchup being repeated. Not sure that's the end of the world or a decent enough reason to knock back the growth of a league.

No
To play each side twice requires a 22 week season each side plays 20 games and has two byes.
18 round season like this year will mean sides playing 6 sides twice and four sides once with 2 byes or
20 round with 8 sides twice and 2 sides once and two byes.

Which the RDFL won't do so you'd expect to scale the matchups based on team strength? I would imagine it would be pretty poor for the league to have Lancefield play Diggers 2x instead of another closer matched team?

In2019 there was 11 teams 18 rounds with two byes each

 

[Iceman27]

I’m pretty sure back then, each team played each other 5 times over a 3 year period.

It was something along those lines.

I think that was the plan but with teams leaving and administrators changing it didn’t work out like that. But it wouldn’t have been an easy job.

May need to find a new Sauce.

My information has come from the RDFNL board. Maybe you should go back to doing what you do best and keep winning wooden spoons
