Who will win the round 8 clash between D'ford and Hepburn, one of the biggest rivalries in country footy within our district.

IMO the D'ford forwards will pose too much of a handful, although Hepburn's backline is always underestimated

Dford by 34 points, Dave Thommo to have day out, new comer Mick Davis to be BOG and Brendan Sheppard to be reported for striking and receive 3 weeks

Dont think anyone is underestimating Hepburn by the looks of the poll so far.

Maybe being so certain that Hepburn will win, maybe u are underestimating Daylesford? Which would definately be a bad mistake considering the form they are in

The form that Daylesford are in?? Who have they played to prove this? Gordon... or maybe Newlyn. Im thinking that Daylesford might be in for a shock when they come up against stronger competition, it will be a good game for sure though.

Im sure D'ford would love a decent hitout against sum quality opposition. However its not their fault that the draw has turned out this way in the sense that their 1st real test will come against Hepburn. What else are they expected to do but to win and win comfortably against the lesser sides they have met so far?

sorry mate did u not see the demolition job of ballan? a team that everyone rated at season start, given that there full forward was missin TMG would have certainly not made 140+ points difference, do not underestimate us champ, how do u mean a shock? we know what were in for when we face hepburn, waubra etc, u think us to be ignorant? we will prepare accordingly mate to ensure a compeitive hitout

As a person who doesnt come from either Daylesford or Hepburn, by just reading the papers i found that Hepburn were being underestimated. They have been tipped every week so far to lose.. But that will proberly change now after them winning 2 of 3 hard matches...

I can understand you point but there is a lot of geniune dislike there for hepburn, they're reputation as a pack of thugs has a lot to do with it, even tho they've gone away from that thesedays and their supporters have a lot to do with it......... particularly the 'women' at hepburn who scare grown men!!!!

Thats the thing. Daylesford ARE too strong to be in the CHFL. They are flogging other sides and if they are to do it to Hepburn Waubra and teams as such it just proves to everyone that they are simply just that. Teams in the CHFL would be thinking twice now about letting them in.
Yes Waubra and Hepburn are strong sides also but at least when you watch these sides its really an exciting games to watch. With Daylesford whats so good about a teams going down by 20+ goals, it's sad to hear, let alone watch. Thats why The Courier take no interest in D'Ford games........

I hope for the leagues sake it's a tight game because allot of people think Daylesford have the flag rapt up. Hepburn have had some tough games already this year and that could be the difference Daylesford wont know were they really sit until after this game. If daylesford players read and believe all thats written here they may get cocky and in the heat of a tough match go to water. I think Daylesford will win but not as easy as most seem to think.

aggreeance mate, it wont be an easy game, we know that well, our preparation will be spot on and let me tell u theres no way phil davis will let us get cocky, after years of failure in the BFL we'v developed a pretty modest club atmospher, i think if anyone has been seen to get cocky and overconfident its hepburn

What do mean Daylesford is too strong for this league? They didn't even make the grand final last year??? Not like the club has gone out and recruited heavily either - unless you think the coach is the ultimate difference? Well, that's just a stroke of luck. Good on em.

Yeah good point doppel, if Daylesford are too strong why didnt they win last year?
The other clubs of the CHFL should be happy that the standard of the league has grown since their induction and will continue to do so. So its the other club's challenge to try and improve the cattle in their own yard instead of whinging so they can match it with D'ford and the Burra / Waubra boys.
The league took a forward step into the future by letting D'ford into the league. If clubs regret letting them in well thats their issue to deal with, whereby hopefully they can improve the standard of the league further with regard to their club

Clubs with any sense won't regret it. I have never seen a bigger crowd in the clubrooms Saturday night with Beauforts players, supporters and committee all coming in for a drink. They know how hard it was to survive in the Ballarat League & despite a receiving a hiding they still respect their opposition & know whats best for country footy. More like them and the world would be a better place!

yeah spot on again. Beaufort did the same thing last year as well, definetly the biggest crowd after the game in the rooms since D'ford being in the CHFL. Its a credit to them as a club, obviously well run by a proactive friendly committee and members.

11 Days to go now. As a daylesford man i dont hate hepburn. The reason they are so disliked is because of their all round success. Well run club on and off the field, even if everyone that isn't from hepburn does dislike them. Long term future is safe, alot more that other clubs can say for themselves. And if other clubs had the potential to recruit like they do, they certainly would. But in saying that i still thing the dogs will get up. But in what will be a great day of footy. To the reserves. Well what a match this will be. The showdown with watts and torrance going head to head. Last year torrance came away with the honours, but watts is new man this year and expect him to come away with the indivdual bragging rights. Tough one to pick. Under 18s will be another great game with the bull pups coming good on the weekend and hepburn dominating. Should be a real good game of junior footy. As will the 15s with both teams in form.

Take another guess. And i wasn't taught by leigh hawker. But tell me, what does it mean when i play for daylesford and win a premiership then leave to hepburn and win a premiership that year too. I'm thinking it means something like i make a massive difference in a team. Actually, come to think of it, every team a member of my family plays for, they seem to always go a lot better.

I never said anything about hepburn being better then daylesford in the seniors. We all know daylesford are the team to beat.

Daylesford will run over the top of hepburn come finals time, this time we will have Joel Adams and Thommo back, Its not looking good for the 'mighty Burras'. Its now time to set our sites on Waubra, surly if we beat them by 7 goals we are far to good to be in this league.

Grant Boyd kicked 4 points from very gettable set shots, kirby kicked 2 points. If we converted those we could have a pretty good shot at beating u guys, and about 12 of those points were rushed lol. If u guys are the best team in the comp, which most of yas think u's are the maybe ya's should have beaten the 10th best side in the comp by more than 45 points.

Not true buddy, firstly we dropped back from the BFL to the CHFL because of financial issues, we were a good side and secondly, we havnt proven to be too good for the CHFL at all, we didnt even make the grandfinal last year, we havnt played Waubra yet and we are still yet to win a game at Learmonth.

Ya both a bit off the money. Daylesford dropped back from the BFL because they lost the alliance with north ballarat who choose to start afresh in the bendigo league. The loss of that meant huge financial consequences and the loss of players comin up from the North Ballarat Juniors (which we relied upon heavily due to much young Daylesford players choosing to play footy elsewher come open age). Also as north ballarat started afresh many Daylesford players orginally North Ballarat players chose to return to north such as Ben Beaston and Adam Richardson.

Well if having a good game means repeatedly pushing Tom Reeves head into the turf and shanking every shot on goal, then yes, he had a good game.

In having said that, I'm shit scared of him!

the question of daylesford in the CHFL i think its agreat idea but daylesford and hepburn are becoming powerhouses due to how much better off financially they are than other clubs. dont knowhow they can curb that tho?

yeh i only know what ive heard so nothin concrete. all im sayin is hepburn has been up amongst it for the last 5 years and daylesford look to be a very solid club whereas teams like Gordon havnt playd finals as long as ive known them. it wd be really good just to see everyone gettin there share

There's not much you can do to curb the spending of the powerhouse clubs. It's something you might address if a club wins 5 flags in a row. But if clubs are spending up big and importing players they will go in their cycles as locals will leave and money may run out. It's up to each club to keep their spending sustainable, fundraise your heads off as I believe your Daylesfords/Hepburns/Waubra's do and build club culture.

players is not the issue. members are. people that live in ballarat are hardly going to sign up for a membership in gordon.
