WRFL Div 2 Discussion 2024

[Vlodrive]

Gee you love potting Newport. Ever actually met some of the people there? Can guarantee there are as many great people as any other club. And as many clowns as well. Its a different culture to most but its still a footy club.

Bachar will contribute more than he will ever owe to them next year and beyond. The club will surprise more than you think.

Too right. I went to newport last year for a praccy match, good club with good people. Would go there and watch a game if I was in the area for sure. Found Sunshine to be the same way also!

Newport are a very competitive club and a very competitive footy team. Have been ever since they returned 8 or 10 years ago. As a new club, adapted very quickly to the old D3 (won it year 1?), and then adjusted just as quickly to the old D2.

Doubt they will be tailed off next season in D1, their competiveness as a club won't allow it. They would need some good signings, but they could surprise and compete well.

Langshaw might see some close games next season.

Hearing they’re throwing some money around as well so they may actually be able to compete in Div 1

Just because he was at nrth sunny doesn't mean shit mate, nrth have no players, rams are way ahead and seems like a good place for him, also look at his cv! Not bad for a young bloke

It’s a good position for a young aspiring coach imo. I’m also positive there wouldn’t be people knocking down the rams door to coach them either. Plus what type of coin they offering for the position..
Good on young Grech for having a crack I say. and the Rams for giving him the opportunity..

Not knocking a young bloke for having a go.

but if I've won 2 games in 6 years... I'm not hiring a bloke from the one team we did beat that had a percentage of 4.

Yeah... 6 different clubs in the last 6 seasons. Amazing CV. Lazy by Rockbank... They haven't done any homework on the bloke at all. Hope he sticks it out.

Will this be 4 coaches in 4 years for Rams?

4 coaches, 5 presidents and counting in 4 years.

Ya couldnt make this stuff up.

My mate tells me there is a handful of nuffies running the joint that have no idea.

Good luck coach you will need it

Always doubters for struggling clubs, would love to see him have the opportunity as a head coach and make the club competitive, keep putting down the club mate, they will win a few

I dont know much about the clubs in question but if things are as bleak as you make out, how many well credentialed applicants do you think they'd have had for the role?
Who should they have targeted?

I'm sure they'd also love a bunch of high quality footballers to walk in & play for free too but you've got to be a little realistic.

They struggle because of their decisions
This is another one
But let’s face it…. There isn’t much hope when you are positioned where they are!!

Vinnie Turcinovich turns up as Senior Assistant and U18 coach at West Footscray.

Lasted only 1 year at Tarneit, starting to move around a bit.

You are correct Doggie Boy and despite the club's inclusiveness, most hope that Newport will do well.
However Newport didn't return: a new club named Newport was formed after the original Newport Football Club disbanded

You are correct, Doggie Boy. Despite the club’s perceived exclusivity, most in the West hope that they can rise above any antipathy and be successful.

However, on a different note, Newport didn’t return. A new club named Newport was born.

The new club, Newport, was formed with new colors, a new guernsey, a different home ground, a completely different committee, and a completely new group of players, none of whom had any affiliation with the now-defunct club.

The original Newport Football Club, formed before 1900, disbanded after the 1996 season due to a combination of financial difficulties and declining onfield performance.

When a club has been disbanded, that’s it - finito! It can’t be resurrected. However, a club adopting the name of the original club is fine, but it can’t adopt the history of the former club.

Nevertheless, many here in the West hope the Newport Football Club has a successful future.

Thanks SS you are quite right of course, poor use of words by me. Funny how one can think one way but express it in a way that provides a different meaning!!

I remember there was some apprehension within the WRFL when a club initially called "Newport United" applied to join about 20 years due to the impression left by the previous Newport entity. "United" quickly became "Power" and morphed into the 2 current Newport entities, Power and Panthers.

Anyway, am hoping Newport Panthers can compete in D1, confident they can.

That's not entirely correct, Newport were kicked out of the league in 1999 because of poor on field and off field behaviours, something that has plagued the recent Newport club since they were reformed.

I cant see a problem with them including the history of the old club.

Newport Power juniors started with one u10 team back in the early 2000s, the seniors then formed some ten or so years later once the juniors started come through. So 'United' never became 'Power' at all, it was always Newport Power way before the seniors were even heard of

I witnessed the Agenda item for that particular WRFL meeting considering the application to join from "Newport United" about that time.

Probably just a working name adopting "Power" before they played a game.

Just semantics though.
