VAFA getting rid of Reserves in Prem B women for no apparent reason. Explanation please
Interesting conversation with a recently elected bayside councillor. The council have received 2-3 inquiries from football clubs about the option of obtaining 12 month leases on grounds, as opposed to the ground share agreements with summer based sporting clubs.

Maybe not enough teams. That would be my guess.

It will never happen.
Knowing some of the councillors going around and their hare-brained ideas it's not a total impossibility ...
More likely to be 12 month leases to dog walking groups…
I'm with you. Fair's fair - 50/50.
Only takes one to be granted and every footy club in Melbourne will be putting a case forward.

A lot of local cricket clubs are getting smaller, clubs that used to use 2 or 3 grounds over summer are now only needing 1 or 2 due to having less teams. I would say this would be a year by year proposition if a footy club manages to get a summer tenancy.

Footy clubs can train on off nights for cricket, but cricket can’t train on the off nights of football due to no light, wet grounds etc.
At the Pine we could (Council permitting) have the ground 100% of the year as, the ground is only used on alternate Saturdays. It’s never used during weekdays.

It would be too costly for a footy club to have a 12 month tenancy. This thought reminds me of the Quote from a classic Movie " Tell Em they are dreaming "
Footy and cricket in Glen Eira pay quarterly in and out of season .

This was raised at our AGM and we were told this was a mistake by the VAFA and shouldn’t have been published, yet it still hasn’t been amended on the website. Apparently Premier B Reserves isn’t going anywhere. The reason given for the removal of the grade which was “competitive balance” is a bit of a furphy given only 1 team out of 8 was uncompetitive.

RIP Bianca Jones from Beaumaris, died in a Thai hospital after being given a methanol cocktail in Laos in a mass poisoning incident. Holly Bowles was also taken ill in the same incident.

I am strongly opposed to this, clubs can share facilities.

I hope this is right. If they did remove reserves it would make women’s footy programs at these clubs very challenging to manage and destroy years of hard work.
Very happy , was hoping the Swans . We also had Harry Armstrong,go to the Tigers.
Also he was only 16 when he won it .
Had over 60 possies v Old Yarra early in the year
SKOBAFL player.

Horrific, all thoughts are with hers and Bianca’s parents and family and friends, and of course the Beaumaris football club. Devastating.
