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

Seems they may have lost a couple. Usually happens when you get relegated. A lot will depend how they gel with the new hierarchy.

Have heard that a big contingent of De La kids going back to De La. A bit of a vibe around De La at the moment.

It was long and boring but the parts relevant to me seemed to be basically the same

Using it for cricket it's shocking

It's pretty much the same as MyCricket man. Not that bad.

Thanks man , but disagree

Looking at the cricket scores every now and again it looks horrible lol

Worst system ever. Funny question who owns it?

Questions surround company offering a digital ‘one-stop shop’ for grassroots sports

PlayHQ has already signed up Cricket Australia and the AFL but faces accusations of a conflict of interest and queries over its procurement processes

Sam Walch or James Sutherland ring a bell?

Not really, try using it for entering cricket scores it’s impossible. Unlike MyCricket there is also no save draft option so when the system ****s up, you lose everything.

No, but I have heard it is a real dogs breakfast for cricket clubs from a few different people in different clubs and leagues.

I'm literally the guy on the iPad for my team dude. It's not that bad.

Totally inept, can't even include the fall of wickets. Sutherland getting his $$$$$ for s..t. Still freezes up during the afternoon, overload and same s..t, different seasons.

One of the Premier cricket competitions has requested that both scorers are to use a book as well as utilising Play HQ.
In the past one did the book and one did MyCricket.
Shows how much faith they have in the system.

Under both systems, clubs throughout WA find themselves getting punted off the system in the post-tea session while east coast clubs finalise their scores at the end of each day. Some things never change.

Lucky you, half our teams don’t do live scoring so it’s me entering them all into the ridiculous system after the game…

Even trying to change the batting and bowling orders is a complete shambles, unlike MyCricket where you just wrote what number they were…

Then there is the complete and utter stupidity of having to get a permit for a junior to play senior cricket at the same club…

I am the same at my club. Looks straight forward enough to me. We are now talking about adding FrogBox to the mix!

PlayHQ in terms of registration process is a mixed bag admittedly but on matchday no issues.

 

[Jascave]

Looks like the VAFA AGM will be an interesting affair after what happened at the EGM earlier this month. Can we expect to see wholesale changes at the VAFA Board after the AGM?

 

[Mr Platinum]

No one cares I don’t think, they’re all a little bit strange.

I hate reading it, it’s a piece of shit.

Pick up a set of boxing gloves as you go through the door for some attendees ...

Frog box and Play HQ has been a bit of a disaster, it doesn’t seem to sync up properly with the wickets in multiple matches I’ve seen.

I wonder if the football PlayHQ platform will allow unregistered players to fill in for 1 game like cricket does. You'd hope not.

I won't be very surprised if at least one club/team have to forfeit the points after an admin error like this due to not knowing the platform this year. Maybe the VAFA lets them off the hook, doubtful
