What do you think of the VCFL ruling that will allow Yarram to affiliate with the NGFNL from 2014? Probably a 50/50 view out there, or 5/5 as the league voting on the matter would suggest. Looks like 11 clubs will push the league into a 20 round, 2 bye system. Not too dissimilar from the AFL...

It is true Yarram voted strongly to go to North Gippsland, 86% to be precise. Now they require 7 out of 10 North Gippy clubs to approve and if that is successful, still require approval from the VCFL. No offer was made to DWWWW to merge. No offer is there to become Yarram United. I don't...

News out of Yarram Football Club: * Josh Swift has put a clearance in to play at Yinnar. Lives over that way which makes it hard to train. Should have a good year in the Mid Gippy. * Chris Pettitt off to coach at Woodside, taking the Staley brothers with him. Massive challenge at a young...

I remember Darren 'Doc' Wheildon played a season for Inverloch Kongwak. Used to collect footy cards when he was at Fitzroy, thought he went alright. You could tell he had played at a higher level, but also that he had seen better days. Just read on Wikipedia that he was hit by a Taxi in King...

Hey Bench Boy, Funny you mention that Yarram is a dump, because I don't remember either Kilcunda or Bass as being particularly spectacular. Isn't Kilcunda a windswept retirement village for people who can't afford to live on Phillip Island? Does Bass have anything apart from a Giant...

Yarram had a bye, looks like some of the players wanted to get a bit of touch. Saw a few players got cleared to North Gippy as well. Imagine Yinnar would be pretty happy about his performance. Not sure if the opposition would have recognised the pasty, lanky unit hanging out in the forward...

Re: Allies, Woodside and Yarram Coaching Appointments Good spot Mr Duckdog! Woodside are playing in the North Gippsland League this year, however I did think it relevant to mention their coaching appointment. It has been said that the Allies job was Anedda's for the taking, but he turned...

Allies, Woodside and Yarram Coaching Appointments The Allies should be very happy with the appointment of Shane Buckley. Playing/coach who grew up with the club and has tasted success. With their young list, he will provide good experience and leadership in what will be a tough year ahead...

Woah big horse! No need to put the cart first when making accusations of this nature. Let's set a few things straight, shall we? Coach has been sacked: Jeremy Reid was asked to reapply for his position as senior coach next year and elected not to do so. All coaches are required to reapply for...

Coming from outside the top 2 is a big challenge for any club with the finals set up in this league. For 1 or 2, it's a week off, followed by a 7 day break after a potential Grand Final preview game. For 3 - 6, it's 2 tough games in a row, followed by a 6 day break. So by the time any...

Like you Maybloomz, I did not attend the meeting. I have talked with someone who attended the meeting and from their account, I believe the meeting was a great opportunity for the pro's and con's of the Alberton League and the North Gippsland to be put forward to the people in attendance. As...

Your spot on, just because a club is rebuilding doesnt give people from other clubs the right to bag them and belt them, especially on a thread when you hide behind your online account. FYI - I am from the Yarram Football Club and am not hiding behind an online account, as anyone from the club...

Harry, your point about the depth in the 2s is a good one. It is difficult to expect a strong team to come from a small town. Having played outside the Alberton League, I can see how important it is to have strong numbers in the reserve grade on the field and at the social functions. On the...

Harry, you make some very good points in regards to the Yarram Football club and the state of play in the local league. When I mentioned "24 senior players being cleared", I meant 24 senior age players being cleared. I know not all of them are of senior footballer quality, but the results in the...

From all reports, not all is well at the Yarram Football Club. With 24 senior players being cleared and only 4 new players on board, numbers are looking decidedly thin. The reserves have not even looked like winning a game and only ran out with 13 senior age players for the local derby...

Re: Alberton Footy League My apologies regarding the presidency. A changing of the guard occurs over summer, but generally it can take a while for the news of change to filter through to all supporters. These are changing times in the Alberton League. Historically, it is has been subject to...

Last time I checked, Yarram had one president named Paul Clavarino. Who was the person speaking on behalf of the club? Maybloomz - in what was was Yarram an unwelcoming club? If there is something that you're not happy about then generally the best way to resolve the problem is to talk to the...

1sts - While Stony Creek have had the dream run and the weeks rest, I think Foster, with their recent experience in tight games, will get over the line in a close one. Foster by 1 point. 2nds - Korumburra seem to set themselves to win the reserves every year and the weeks rest helps. Inerloch...

After round 12 of the home and away season, Yarram 3rds were place 9th on the ladder. From 11 games played, they had won just 3 and lost 8. A lowly percentage of 65.74% and most would say - season over. However, they somehow managed to win their last 7 games of the season and boost their...

Having played against Foster recently, it is clear that they are the team to beat. Stony Creek set up well with their defensive structures but rely on Lucas McMillan too heavily up forward. Korumburra's recent form, althought against lesser teams, suggests they can challenge strongly come...

8 teams battling for 4 spots in the 6. 4 rounds to go... How do you think the ladder will finish at the end of the year? 1 Foster Played 14 Points 56 2 Stony Creek Played 14 Points 46 3 Phillip Island Played 15 Points 40 4 M.D.U. Played 14 Points 36 5 Korumburra-Bena Played 15...
