Pimpinio are a very underated side.. have quality players like Pat Barber, Kyle Dumesny, Billy Bennett and Jason Willis.. if those four fire can be a competitive side
Problem with HDFL juniors is that it is too lop sided with the top 3-4 easily 100 points better than the bottom sides ala Gt Western, TL & Nati.
This is beacuse the comp should be U13 & U16. It was a poor and selfish move by the HDFL to change it the other year. If you are 17 and good enough you can easily play district seniors, breeze it in the ressies and then there wont be a numbers problem or half the teams having blokes play two matches all the time.
Get it right HDFL and change back to U13 & U16 and dont be so sooky and scared that players kept going to Wimmera league as it happend vice versa as well.
It is about keeping kids in footy in the Wimmera 'region' not which league they play for. Many juniors are playing 36-40 games a year most will be burnt out by the time they are 21 and sick of footy so they are lost for good. Get real HDFL
What about when some underdeveloped 17 year old kids get forced to play senior level. I think the age groups are perfect as they are. As soon as they turn 18, bang, seniors they go.
From what i know,
Kalkee- Simon Hobbs probably
Laharum- Ben Iredell, or not Probably Tom Eason or Jayson Thompson
it was great when corey kicked 18 off 1 leg to bad his been injured half the year struggling... i think its a record in the under 17's i no chizzo holds the under 16 record but i think its a record in the under 17's
Yeah it was a great effort nd good on him for holding the record how many shots at goal did he end up having
about 24-25
