Especially during the Olympics when Steve Hooker was available. Australia hasn't won many medals in athletics and he would've been a good guest to have during the Tokyo Olympics, because of what he did in Beijing & London. And, it would be a different type of guest as well, because he was the...

If that is the end, at least the club made it to 100 Years, hopefully you can give the club a great send off with one last hoorah (like Devenish, when Tungamah wore their old jumpers a few years ago & they really gave the club a great send off), or do what Dookie CC did and use the remainder of...

Especially when we have divisions in the KDFNL that have fewer than 15 teams competing (Under 18's, the 4ths, D Grade Netball & the Junior divisions of Netball), therefore you can make finals by losing more games than you win. That will look even more ridiculous when there's a big gap between...

I know that this is more off field, but what's happening over at Rushworth & to a lesser extent, Dookie United?. Rushy couldn't get a committee at their last AGM just recently & Dookie were a bit light on for off field members before the season got cancelled. Let's hope that Rushy can get back...

That very same thing happened at Rennie, NSW during a Picola DFL Grand Final a few years ago & and old cockie used the same method (putting a star picket fence at the back of the post & bailing twine to prop up a behind post)

At least there's some junior footy and netball being played, The Shepp & Goulburn Campaspe Juniors started last week (without Moama, because of the border issue) and the GV's Under 16's & 18's Footy and the 15's & 17's Netball (for those who are participating). I just hope that a few of the...

I would have thought that the KDL would have tried to have one for the juniors at least (because they're the most important group we have), similar to the Barooga night series or the junior carnival in Moama & Rochester. Have it over a weekend at Mooroopna, the Under 12's can play on the back...

Reservoir (who wore Red with a white Yoke) ended up in the Metropolitan League in 1950 after dominating in the Diamond Valley Football League, the players who wanted to stay in the DVFL formed Lakeside Rovers (later Reservoir Lakeside, who wore South Melbourne colours) who remained in the DVFL...

I'd prefer splitting the league in two, One Division for the sides that finished 1,3,5,7,9,11,13 & 15 in last years Home & Away season (Tallygaroopna, Avenel, Stanhope, Undera, Girgarre, Shepparton East, Violet Town & Ardmona), and the other division made up of sides that finished 2,4,6,8,10,12...

Maybe, but Arthur grew up in Melbourne and didn't have much to do with the Goulburn Valley,but Black Jack McEwen did, he had a farm in Stanhope.

In 1933, the Grand Final between Toolamba & Ardmona in the Goulburn Valley 2nds League was won by Ardmona via walkover because Toolamba refused to play under the umpire who was originally selected for the match (Virth) because Toolamba felt that he was a cheat who cost Toolamba two Grand Final...

Lancaster has hosted Grand Finals in the past, there's no reason why they couldn't be a host for the KDFL in an October Grand Final provided that we have a full length finals series (6), but as long as we get a season where all sides play each other once, that'll do nicely. Ardmona, Dookie...

Reservoir Rovers joined the Panton Hill Football League & stayed until it folded in 1987, then they merged with Thornbury The final season of the Panton Hill League had six teams (after Mernda went into the Diamond Valley League after a planned merger between the PHFL & DVFL failed, Kilmore...

In the KDL, we can fit in a 15 round season starting at the 6th of June and finishing on the 12th of September, therefore everyone plays each other once. And instead of a finals series (which would be a sad thing to lose), we simply have a grand final with 1st playing 2nd on the 19th of...

I can tell you that St George/Reservoir ended up in the Panton Hill Football League in 1981 & 1982 and folded before the 1983 season.

I've seen that Rochy have put a side in the Under 16's Shepp Juniors League, which would be a better fit competitively for now, but I hope they can try to have a crack at the GVFL Under 16's at a later date. I know it's tougher for clubs like them, but Euroa & Tatura have had a go, so it's not...

That's just the NT NEWS (the greatest newspaper since the invention of movable type) 🤣

NAGAMBIE MURCHISON/TOOLAMBA TALLYGAROOPNA AVENEL STANHOPE LANCASTER GIRGARRE DOOKIE UNITED RUSHWORTH SHEPPARTON EAST VIOLET TOWN MERRIGUM UNDERA ARDMONA LONGWOOD I think that most of us here agree with the top 3 (except for where they finish), but it's great to see that there's 6-7 teams below...

That's what usually happens in the country, they usually play 16 a side, but if both sides have more that 20, they can go 18 a side with the agreement of both coaches and captains.

I was wondering about your opinions on the new 4ths (Under 16's) competition that the GVFL are running this season. I was surprised that Rochester aren't fielding a side in the new 4ths competition (was it lack of numbers?, or are you going to stick with the Shepp Juniors this year), and I knew...

I thought so too, but it's tonight apparently. Hopefully we can find some conclusion to this long running Ardmona saga.

The whole thing is a bit of a mess at the moment, I'd be for just keeping things as they are and let fate sort it out, because I think the clubs wouldn't be too keen on shuffling the deck chairs again, especially after the YVMDFL absorbed the clubs from the South East. The Northern League has...

Does anyone here know who's going to field and Under 16's team for the GVFL for 2020? I know Benalla & Mansfield weren't keen to do it, but what about the rest of the clubs?, will Euroa & Seymour join up, leaving the Seymour DJFL Under 16's in tatters?, or will it be just the Division One of...

I've heard some weird rumours about a Seymour based competition with possibly Avenel & Longwood coming in (I know they'd rather stay in the Kyabram League, but you never know), but that could all be B.S Hope the move works out for Broadford, the Heathcote League were never going to let them in...

Panton Hill will never leave the NFL now, they're back in division two after winning the flag this year, have all the local teams around them in the same league due to Old Eltham Collegians crossing over (apart from Kinglake) and have increased their numbers in football & netball (also, there...

You're always going to be beholdent to the flows of population, with inner city areas getting older and young families moving out to the outer western suburbs, but it's good to see an increase of senior clubs and especially when it comes to the juniors and with the Bulldogs helping out the WRFL...

Didn't Glenrowan get into massive debt in order to get those flags?, I hope they survive but if you spend what you haven't got, you're always going to end up in trouble. Reservoir won a flag in 2015 & were in recess the following year, they came back again in 2017, but they've really struggled...

That would've been great for Thornton/Eildon as well. They should have never left the Benalla League.

The Northern League has expanded rapidly (Eltham College, Kilmore, Laurimar, Fitzroy Stars & a reformed Reservoir), The EFL now has 5 divisions with Croydon North/Old Lilydale MCOB, The Southern League has expanded within the growth areas, but they haven't lost the clubs like the WRFL has...

And now we're back to square one! With Ardmona being banished, Broadford wanting to move north to the KDFL, Katandra in limbo within a league that's too strong for them & the southern clubs in Yea, Alexandra & Thornton/Eildon occupying the foot of their respective leagues. the need for a...
