I'm sure a freshly painted 'G' will appear on the top line of the scoreboard at Wunghnu's footy oval next week, as they posted a few majors in their efforts against Mathoura of recent.
Despite the term 'goal' probably having suffered a bit of a Mad Max 3 'does-the-tell' bastardisation up there at the Magpie nest, Wunghnu gave it their all and ended up going down 5.6.36 to Mathoura's 37.18.240.
No, not an impressive scoreline, but you should have seen their scores from previous weeks!
Over to Wayde for a more detailed analysis ... :D

It'd be great if they could get a retired AFL champ to make a one off appearance for them.

Yeah. It seems like they need a helping hand.
Even someone who could go up and coach their players in a game or at training as a one off.

Yeah though there's a few clubs in this boat, and only so many good-deed-doers available!

Wunghnu brought over 15 members of their 1973 Picola DFL (thier last premiership) premiership team to training last week, as well as having a re-union, last saturday, to hand out tips to thier players, and a few Numurkah players have been brought out of retirement through Lee Nolen, thier coach (and Numurkah premiership backman), and a few of the old Wunghnu players as well, so the numbers are good, it's just that the talent isn't there, and that can only last so long.
P.S
Wunghnu's thirds and fourths recorded wins against the Timbercutters, and I might head down therem on Saturday against Katandra, since that i'll be in the area.

I swear that the article I read recently on Mathoura v Wunghnu showed Mathoura as being called some nickname other than the Timbercutters, but now I can't find the bloomin' article.
Do you know of another nickname that Mathoura go by, Wayde?

Nope, according to the league's website, and McPherson Media (the owners of all local newspapers from Seymour to Deniliquin, from Rochester to Benalla), Mathoura's always been called "the Timbercutters".
