l stopped for a look today on the way by.
The first thing that strikes you is the shiny white of the boundary fencing.
Then the unusual 'non-grass' green of the synthetic surface...the designers must be colour blind l reckon.
As far as grass burns, l reckon the smart ones will lube up before they venture out.
But it does all look damned smart in a Purser kind of way.
Any word on when the draw will be released?
Round 1 is 3 weeks away, very poor from the AFL.
AFL issued a note today, saying changes that may impact on competition structure are holding up the draw.
Speculation 1:
Wests to pull out of prems
Speculation 2:
1 or 2 PLatium teams to pull out.
Anybody have any mail?
Who knows .... heard first rumour and haven’t heard second one.
It is poor though we are 15th March and no direction and finding this out now.
Draft fixtures came out late and then there were issues with them.
If they engaged with all clubs right early these issues would be identified.
They determine a lot but don’t manage a lot well at the top.
Let’s hope clubs get fixtures soon and can plan a season. It’s poor and unacceptable but No doubt they will spin it some way or another in their favour.
Still can’t believe clubs haven’t got a fixture and yet will be asked to manage a season within 2-3 weeks when there will no doubt be holes as this seasons planning has been nothing but a rabble.

Invariably this delay will be because of clubs changing team nominations and other requests for venue and date changes. Clubs got their draft draw a couple of weeks ago so everyone will have a reasonable indication of when and where they will be playing.

Draft draws should not come out 5 weeks before a season. But we are used to the continued amateur planning and implementation of the seasons.
Clubs will run the season it’s a pity we have little support to make it easier for us.
Strange days indeed. Maybe we were spoilt back in the days when Gary Birkinshaw used to run the show all by himself, producing footy records, club of the year updates weekly, annual reports, game day visits and post season interviews with every club and gaining excellent off-season feedback from clubs, with the draws coming out in by December and finalised in January. Draw now sent to clubs at end of Feb, times need to be done in early March, volunteers madly scramble to organise their special event days and start to advertise to players, members, sponsors etc and all of a sudden all seems to be thrown out the door due to "changes".
Havent heard the rumours about clubs bailing from Platinum...or the Prem Div one. I know there are some concerns with the girl's teams. Makes one wonder what is the real direction of the future directions project is heading
