Community football board

[Mythical Creature]

Stay tuned guys, I believe there is a sponsorship and fund raising tool that shoots the lights out coming soon. I believe 1 major regional league and 2 SANFL clubs have taken it on board and it ticks all the boxes. Backed by some pretty big names across the sporting spectrum including AFL. Have seen and supports grass roots and local communities - fantastic. Maybe that made MR C change his mind ? Maybe he has seen the next big thing ? Believe the VCFL have adopted similar concept.

But will it be of any benefit to the clubs would be my first concern?

Prob not but CFB will benefit???

That is the one thing we can definately be sure about!

Of course they will, there would be zero interest by them if there was no advantage to be had by the CFB.

Supercoach, you seem to be 'in the know' on this subject so have you heard about the CFB are now saying that only SENIOR jumpers must have the CFB logo applied to them, not Juniors?
I was informed of this from a country club President and this was discussed at a recent meeting of their league and was put forward as an amended condition.

Anyone heard about this?

SFL are still telling our distributor and individual clubs that CFB is not to be put on new guernseys we are organising for this season

The CFB issue is starting to gain further momentum with more -'s than +'s.
Hope the Vic model stays right were it currently is................in Victoria but i have my doubts.

So which league is thinking seriously about "disaffiliating" over the CFB demands and undisclosed items?

[aceman]

See below for a classic example of the 'confusion' that is being caused by the information coming out of the CFB. I received this email from a Northern country club that I've been supplying with footy gear for many moons, in response to a series of emails regarding supplying his club with new footy jumpers.

He writes;

"As you would be aware, we are being forced by the CFB to go to only their suppliers, as we have to have the CFB logo on all gear by 2012. It is something we are not at all happy about, but what can we do?!"

The "fear factor" at it's very best!

The other interesting point that has come to light in this saga is, "is the CFB logo registered?
If, as I am told it isn't, anyone can copy it, as it's reproduction by any individual or company is not covered by any law.

[Jimmy_041]

We should register it Ace and charge the CFB $8 every time they want to use it!

[devilsadvocate]

The rumours are all circling around at the moment, seems it goes even deeper...

The SA Football Commission has apparently told the Hills FL that Blanchetown Swan Reach and Sedan-Cambrai WILL be playing in the Country Division next season, Hills have taken offence to being dictated to and are likely dis-affiliate accordingly.

Not quite...the HFL has ammended its constitution to limit the number of teams in the country division. Sedan-Cambrai are in, but that's where it will stop.

Do it Do it

[Old Dog New Tricks]

First timer here but I hear on the grape vine that the Amateurs have voted for an embargo for 3 years on the points system the CFL want to introduce. If that's true it means our clubs will still have to run on a 12 point system from next year and they will be able to do what they want and recruit from wherever they want with out any penalty.

Anyone heard similar?

[Clever Dick]

Is it possible that a CFB "preferred supplier" may be getting some inside information on clubs requiring jumpers and shorts from someone at West Lakes?
I bet the other 5 would like to know about it!
Or was it a coincidence that immediately after a discussion between the secretary of club X and Glen Rosser, during which Rosser was told politely where he and the CFB "preferred supplier" arrangement could be put, the supplier just happened to ring the secretary of club X with the information on what the club was about to purchase.
Now how did that happen, I wonder?

ODNT, You have heard correctly.
An overwhelming unanimous vote by 64 clubs present has said "no" to the CFB and the APPS for a 3 year trial period after which a determination will be made by the clubs on the merit or otherwise of implimenting it in the future.
They have also given notice to the SAAFL Executive that clubs will not tolerate the "bully boy" tactics that have been imposed on country leagues by the CFB without much consultation. The SAAFL clubs will determine their own destiny, not the CFB.
All power to them!

And this will always happen in some leagues when you have people running that league who have been "under the spell" of the SANFL & Affiliated Leagues for too many years.
They get to believe that it's the only way, sometimes they need to step outside the cocoon and see what's happening in other places, it may well open their very tired eyes.

absolutely stinks - next we will have to have the CFB photo on the jumpers. Seriously how do we get into these messes.

Being an overseeing body does not require the body to have its finger on every dollar a club spends, stick to managing the game (just what is they bring to table anyway??) - if there is not enough income for the CFB to pay its expenses - TRIM SOME FAT!!!

Jumbo, it could have something to do with the fact some leagues are being run by "yes men" to the SANFL and they're either not game enough nor have the 'balls' to stand up on behalf of their own leagues/clubs and say "NO"!
I reckon I could name 3-4 league directors without even blinking! A couple are even on the CFB board.

Clever, it would appear to me at least from the outside that there are a few blokes running regional leagues being impressed by the free lunches and entertainment in corporate boxes at Footy Park. I hear there is one bloke on the executive within our league who has been promised a position on the CFB in return for his support. The bloke has more time on his hands now that he's not spending time in his caravan or at least not selling them. What is it with these blokes who start off being a passionate voice for the clubs and then turn into a "Suckhole" after being caught up in the SANFL "deer in the headlights" propaganda.
Wankers

[supercoach]

Good to see the regional leagues starting to see what the CFB is. How is it that Mr Rosser gets $120k a year, and his offsider $80k and then the young assistant $40k. They want to run a raffle to pay for the wage bill. But wait there is more ...................
This is a Wicker boys club to rival the keep coopers out dictatorship that the SANFL is. The uniform deal is a sham. The quality of the product is shit........Will let you guys know some more boys club info a little later........ It gr8 being related to an insider who dislikes the arrogance of big brother !!!!
