Hello, Hello - Is There Anyone Home?

Submitted by Mustang on

The VFL website hasn't had any news updates posted since 26th February - that's a month ago on Friday.

Paul Amy reported in Inside Football a few weeks ago that the VFL's marketing assistant had been let go, so I think we can assume that person was responsible for looking after the website and that no one else has been given the job.

For the so-called premier state based competition in Australia it really is not good enough.

There's quite a bit happening on a few of the Club websites which I think will be the best and most reliable place for information from now on. Bloody hell it's only 2-1/2 weeks until the season proper starts.

Can the VFL sink any lower? It's time they lifted their game!

Its is getting pretty pathetic for a so called professional organisation!

Even some of the local Leagues have better and more informative websites.

I think its about time the few of us left with any passion for the VFL (vomit) started to let the lazy idiots that claim to run the comp that we a fed up with their sloppy efforts. Lets start by sending some emails to

Website: www.vfl.com.au

Football Operations Department

Football Operations Manager: John Hook
High Performance Managers: Anton Grbac and Leon Harris
Football Operations Coordinator: Sophie Timms
Football Operations Officer: Sam Coen

Unfortunately when you look at the list of "Managers" it dosent inspire much confidence in their abilities to drag the competition out of the depths its has currently sunk to!Considering they are all on say average $50.000 PA thats a lot of money for little outcome.

One less Billy, I think Sam Cohen has moved on....Unsure of a replacement.

$50k?

Seems like you a little unaware of market rates. You are way out sunshine.

That wouldn't even cover lunch.

I was being generous no doubt Schwab would be on $300,000 and Hook most likely $150.000.

Well going by our discussion the other day mate, I thought you maybe wanted to become a media manager for the league?

Waste of time. Your dealing with a bunch of imbeciles in there mate. Anybody with talent quickly realises the place is a shithole and moves on.

Until Schwab gets some balls and rids the place of the dinosaurs, and brings in young, passionate administrators who bring enthusiasm and knowledge about 21st century concepts, the VFL wont go forward.

VFL totally dictated to by the might of the AFL who do all the hiring & firing.
