VAFA General Discussion

[bedford]

FWIW new vafa president creating a big footy account and the Herald Sun doing a write up on Div1-Div4 recruits, what other nuggets does 2024 have in store? Bedford as the new mod?

Happy to accept fwiw

I guess the email that was sent to all clubs in Booroondara was a forgery???

Well speaking as an official from a club from Boroondara, they didn't tell us shit.

It also means that it's much easier to submit a clearance and not waste half people's Friday following up on a clearance that hasn't necessarily made it to the other club. It should be about how to make it easier on the administrators.

Playhq isnt great. I use it in basketball administration.

It has its faults but the transfer system between the two is very hard

 

[Over The Post]

Tipping results will be up tomorrow night, been busy

 

[Big buzz]

East Brighton maybe, the rest no chance would be flogged every week. Would be some Div 1 SFL clubs who would not make finals in C Grade VAFA.

You are kidding yourself m8

Want to talk the Amateur Footballer a bit.

Shame you can't get a copy on match day and have to spend weekdays getting ladders and whatnot.

Should the scribes call around and get club info instead of making things up

Be a good place to start...or actually have club people involved as the scribes (e.g. Tommy Brain and his fountain of knowledge)

Just because someone kicks 2 goals doesn't mean their in the best

Barely anyone reads it anymore seeing as though you can't pick one up at the ground so few people will call them to account for their scribblings.

I wonder if the sponsors think they are getting value for their outlay.

I had a mate scribe in the past, and he asked if he can get contact details from the clubs to help with his writing - was told its not necessary and to keep them simple...

As a scribe from yesteryear I was told to reach out to the clubs for a report (obviously wasn't at all games).....very rarely got anything back. Had to go off the scores and best players most of the time.

I wonder who his replacement will be. I assume it will likely be a casual vacancy filled on the board by someone.

Does anyone know if its health related? The VAFA board has been a mess for past 2-3 years. Is it a poisoned chalice?

Sad. A decent man and wonderful football brain.

 

[WithThePeanuts]

I have a lot of respect for Phil, he’s been a great administrator for a long, long time.
I had a chat to him when he first ran for the Board a couple of years ago. He said he wanted to jump in and help get the joint back on track and then he’d step off. Maybe he’s satisfied things are heading in the right direction?

New footy manager Dale Christie , be interesting how long he lasts as seems to be in one place for short periods. Has had about 10 cricket clubs.

Hearing everywhere traditional VAFA clubs Parade and Ivanhoe seriously considering their future and heading to the NFNL.

Re Ivanhoe: Considering future and NFNL as an option - definitely - along with two other options.

Heading there ..... not yet. A fair bit to work through for that to happen, but yes consideration for sure.
