Trying to get an AFL gig by doing this? You'd think Caro springs would be more lucrative than the northern bullants gig in terms of hours to put in as well

The St Albans and Deer Park saga of which competition they play in isn't over quite yet. EDFL clubs met in private recently, they are furious that CEO Kyte and the current Board unanimously approved this major change without any club consultation, discussion or plan with costs, benefits or reasoning. The CEO has now been sacked apparently, over this and many other issues. The Manager of Senior Football and Netball Leslie will follow soon. There are key Board members that will not be reelected at Decembers AGM, don't poke the bear is the overwhelming feedback.

The EDFL Board and I assume WRFL are elected to represent all their clubs, so PhiloBeddoe don't poke the bear (clubs). The EDFL have had experienced, collaborative and decisive Boards for over 40 years now, not currently however its a mess. The CEO and staff should make all the day to day decisions, clubs should only have impute into major game changing ones that effect them all. The previous CEO's put excellent business cases to clubs explaining why new clubs from the RDFL like Rupertswood and Sunbury Kangaroos should join. Same deal with Coburg Districts from the WRFL 10 years back now, they were all approved and came in. With St Albans and Deer Park basically nothing was presented to clubs, just they have been approved. Sorry for the long winded answer however it needed explaining. EDFL clubs may or may not have wanted them to join, they didn't get the chance to discuss it. The matter is now with AFL Vic, however they are very aware of how unhappy all EDFL clubs are.

Extraordinary the EDFL clubs weren't consulted and briefed on what is a major decision and change for that league.
So the CEO and Football Ops Manager and some of the Board are gone, what a mess.
Wonder if the Saints at least, are having second thoughts?

This will probably put a spanner in the works on any transfers.

I am led to believe there is still one avenue for the WRFL to dispute the decision

Still not over the line yet. There will be a new board (president) new CEO and Football manager. The clubs don’t want them in. WRFL will appeal the decision and the new board might change and say we no longer want them.
You get on here and carry on like the EDFL is going great guns…..most money wins over there, everyone’s cheating the salary cap, most clubs have no chance of winning anything

Drink their own bath water the EDFL folk. They believe it’s the best competition outside the AFL.

Agree. EDFL is nowhere near the league it was 10 years ago. The league because of the board and admin have been on a slow decline.
I reckon their departure is a good thing for the league as I reckon Division 1 will be pretty close and competitive next year, plus the league admin won't have so many issues to troubleshoot with the voucher distributors being elsewhere. Bring on 2023.
