A Grade mass walkout. Of course that's what it is.

Absolutely, having spoke to a few blokes the simple answer was "Decent money was too good to pass up.." and i've heard that also from some average A grade players not just the top end blokes.The_Informer wrote:I think football has some real concerns at the moment with cash getting thrown around so much.

I think it was mentioned in an earlier post, but the population of Kilburn has changed with the influx of refugees who don't play footy. Having that change of population has really hurt Kilburn, so without the locals to play at the club I guess they've had to recruit players with cash. Although I don't think its not a new thing for Kilburn to offer players a decent sized match payment. However, as we have all witnessed, players that come to your club on the back of being offered a decent pay packet can quickly move on if offered a bigger one elsewhere.
On the flip side, you look at Modbury and TTG where there's been a growth in population over the years and from that they field 4 senior sides each (I think) and copious amounts of junior teams.

But take your club Suri, it's hardly an area filled with young families but your junior football club contains great numbers every year (although you presumably have a problem hanging onto those juniors with Old Colls sides chomping at the bit).
Additionally look at the number of clubs in the northern suburbs within a few drop punts of one another. Some have managed to set up fantastic junior programs (Eastern Park, Salisbury).
Where there's a will there's a way.
If you've come to the point that the Committee has decided that cash in the only way to continue to field competitive football sides and have given up on fielding junior sides then you're effectively just treading water in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Eventually you're going to drown.

How have you worked with the AFL or Auskick to encourage these folk to try our great game. Areas of Sydney have whole teams of muslim women playing the game.
If a non AFL state can attract that type of competition from women, no less, who in any other life wouldn't even be allowed out of the house, how is it that Kilburn haven't been able to do the same with people that in theory, would be a great pick up in anyones side for height and pace.
A magnificent example of this is the young lad from Woody South - Ramah Ahmed - the kid is a great player and I think only about 19?

That kid will be a star. He doesn't have a lot of support from family, but has a coach who drives 10 minutes out of his way to pick him up for trainings and games.jo172 wrote:Footy Chick wrote:A question I would ask Kilburn:

From some brief junior coaching observations Salisbury had some fantastic junior players of what appeared to be Sudanese descent. One almost singlehandedly won an Under 13s Preliminary Final I coached in.

He would, we're just hoping that when he does head out to Central that he continues to get support from their end to help him make trainings and games, even a MetroCard or something. He could be anything with the right level of support.jo172 wrote:Pag wrote:That kid will be star.

That's wonderful to hear. I realise it is logistically difficult judging from what you said, but from what I saw he would really benefit from some specialist coaching out at the League clubs.
