I dont know the answers to all of your issues but here a few commentsOnly 2 clubs to talk about. I thinking you know the answer. Plenty of issues my dear. Gradings, umpires, incompetence at board, weather rulings, naughty clubs, mrp, finals structure, fixturing, inabilities of GM, inconsistency in rules, the list can go on for ever & ever.
My compatriots play for small struggling club that needs help, no help coming from board after requesting for support. Must I go on.
Cheerio
* hot/wet weather rulings have been spot on --early call when needed and a late decision justified play on as normal
*fixturing for the main grades is the DVCA model --play every team in a 2 dayer and a 1 dayer. Was adopted by a vote by clubs
*finals structure for the top 3 grades is unique and seems to be a good idea to give the best 2 clubs a second chance rather than being knocked out in an elimination semi final
*have found the GM to be very efficient and timely
*gradings might be good for kids but adults ?? not sure .These issues tend to sort out the next year when the strong side playing in a low grade gets promoted
*dont know about umpires but at least we have some .Better off than some comps
I hear rumblings about some naughty clubs ( have always had a few and probably always will ) and the mrp/tribunal being too harsh but that is possibly part of the dealing with the naughty clubs
Is it the Boards fault that great clubs of the past such as Keon Park, N Socials and Lalor are struggling ??
Interested in your opinion on any of the above. I think the comp overall is travelling OK but the Board should be open to suggestions that could safeguard its future. Lets all put forward helpful comments to improve evertthing
