Yeah it’s harsh but ultimately it’s the clubs that oversee coaching appointments and should be aware of who the officials are also. I just think if punishment is severe clubs and coaches etc will need to be responsible or they will wear the wrath of the good parents.
100%. So how do we change the current mindset?
Oak Park by 12
Under 18s falling down all over the place. Can’t imagine Hillside and MV second teams being competitive with Strathmore, Keilor and AbersOak Park pulled their 2nd 18.5 team so only Hillside & Moonee Valley with 2 18.5 sides.
Would have liked those teams to be in the newly created 4th division purely for premier teams 2nd 18s teams. Excellent idea started off big footy from TM
Do Roxy have an 18.5 team? Heard rumours they could be struggling to get enough numbers. Fingers crossed for them but it’s a challenge.
Hardest age group in footy imo. Kids leaving school and starting work, kids going to uni, kids commiting or day and they are all in, then next day saying they don't want to play any more. Can't wait to see our boys out there this year but it's been a lot of hard work by a lot of people to get here
Let’s not forget clubs with two teams trying to recruit players from clubs struggling with numbers but still have enough to have a team. All for clubs having 2 sides but doing while crippling other clubs I’m against.
The were always the unknown going into the season, especially on here where they seem to have low representation.
I saw the incident. Player will get suspended I think but IMO no malice was intended.
