RDFNL 2024 Season discussion

[Morgs senior]

May need to find a new Sauce.
Don’t let facts get in the way of a good story.

So they didn’t get in?

Anyone hear SEN this morning, they have pretty much declared Andrew Gaff will be joining his brother James at Kyneton next year.

Would he be the biggest signing in league history?

Hearing his definitely returning to Melb but as yet Kyneton haven’t spoken to him. But yes agree sensational for club and league if true.

 

[Turbos mail]

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

Interesting one as few clubs have spoken to them as you would imagine. Dylan might stay retired is the word.

 

[Aucklander]

Expecting a close game on Sunday. Probably won't know Wallan's line up until very late with question marks on a couple of blokes.

Riddell rightly hot favourites, but you never know.

Gissy by plenty and Romsey by 20.

So they didn’t get in?

 

[its tiger time]

I too think they will but not not because of all junior clubs as previously stated. But won’t say too much more as some get the shits. At the end of the day someone has to finish last.

Melton south get in?

Melton south get in?

Vote still ongoing till tomorrow with announcements then I believe.

 

[Coach_Beard]

surely its a done deal who other than Melton centrals would genuinely have any significant concerns.
hats off to the rdfl it wasnt that long ago talk had the league was on its last legs.
many down here have issue with the edfl decision makers but that dosnt seem to happen with your current set up.

I heard that presidents had a meeting without league present. They don’t want a 11 team comp.
The meeting was a month or so ago, things may have changed otherwise what’s the slay?

 

[Professor Pericles]

The presidents had the meeting without being aware that the Junior clubs had a vote this changed everything.

Melton South has been voted in

 

[Turbos mail]

Melton South has been voted in

Good decision for all, however it now puts Centrals in an awkward position as they have no coach and were hoping the vote was against South.
Article states:
79% voted yes with still more to vote
60% were senior competing clubs thus far.

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

How good would it be if Kyneton knock them off !!

They've signed a coach... Not sure why they haven't announced it yet. Ex Wallan assistant who's been around footy for a long time.

I'd be more than happy with that.

Could they have been waiting till see if South got in? Are they considering a move to another league hence the holding off on announcements. I guess it changes the whole dynamics for centrals now!

Centrals without a doubt the biggest loser with south entering. Would be a pretty easy decision for any player choosing between the two I would think. The local derby also doesn't benefit centrals a great deal financially as they don't have a gate at Arnolds creek.

Don’t they have gate takings $$ at centrals? Wow didn’t know that. That’s difficult to sustain as a lot of $$ lost due to that.

You have it in for Centrals ? Would have thougt Melton Sth having a neighbouring rival would be exciting for them. Not every club needs to spend massive cash to try compete for a flag every year, Souths of all clubs surely can respect that after splashing bucketloads for 1 or 2 wins a year!

Centrals have a passionate supporter base, always represent post game when travelling and have a very solid Netball program. Hopefully the rest of the Panthers faithful don’t think like you and embrace the new rival, can only be healthy for both going forward.

Agree with most of what you said but sorry mate... Centrals dont travel. Worst team to host. Nobody comes.

Not sure I actually criticised centrals in any way but you made it out I did. But what do you know!!
Also I think Melton have capacity for 3 teams but maybe being in 3 different leagues at different levels gives a point of difference. At present it’s rated
#1 Melton Bloods “obviously”
#2 Melton South - only just, but playing a higher league gives them 2nd position!! As well as the history of South..
#3 Melton Centrals

I believe they get discounted league fees

All clubs pay an amount towards gate takings that Centrals don’t collect so they don’t miss out altogether. Not sure how it is calculated
