The AFL pats itself on the back about the promotion of the game, but it only really translates to the promotion of the AFL itself.
The promotion of the game in NSW/ACT is a joke.
Bombers hove lost 6 quality kids interstate in 2 years, on top of another 8 or so players under 26 gone to state league interstate. Not the only club in that position.
Recruiters now actively targeting our comp because the quality of players has improved and the kids translate really well to state league. The kids also don’t have a decent local option.
Re coaches, the question isn’t which prem clubs are changing men’s coaches, it’s which clubs aren’t.
My understanding is that only one or two clubs are retaining 2021 coaches. A couple have been ‘drafted’, but the reality is the effort/reward trade off doesn’t work in Sydney AFL, so clubs keep turning coaches over.
Can’t keep quality young players in Sydney and can’t keep coaches. Don’t need a points system. All we need is ongoing inept management from the AFL.
The standard at the top of the comp will fall again from where it got to 2020, so great news, competition equalization is working. Good work, going well.
