Sounds like you know something we don't Snake What have you heard?Any movements on the 16 a side? is there any chance of a merger and moving into another league at all?
ha ha no not at all demon85, no more than anyone else anyway.
although i do think it would be best for this league to look at doing something different...., forming a sole upper murray side and joining the tallangatta league may be an option. would be good to see and may bring a bit more interest into the games. have heard it being talked about for years now, but nobody seems keen to actually go through with it.
the league just seems to be getting worse and worse by the year, what are everyone elses thoughts?
Mate when was the last time you went up and watched a game? The 16 a side wasn't perfect and we had a poor season but for the first time in years we fielded a 2's every week and didnt forfeit once, even winning half a dozen games, i think the Feds boys were the same with their 2's. I reckon thats a great effort for a district that supports 3 clubs. If all the clubs merged where would the 200 odd senior players who don't get a game go??? The only thing i would consider would maybe having a crack at an Upper Murray junior side (maybe Under 14's and Under 17's) playing in the Albury/Wodonga junior comp even if they had to double up from playing the previous day. I know our club plan on being around for a long, long time and i think the other clubs are in the same boat.ha ha no not at all demon85, no more than anyone else anyway.

Hey Ref, heard on the grapevine recently that the Blues have signed half of Kiewa's 2's side plus a couple of their senior players from last year. Who have you signed as the new coach???

Hi Toecutter nice to have you back.Regarding players from Kiewa playing for cudgie next season, i haven't heard anything about players from Keiwa coming up but if they do we won't say NO, Coach who knows .
Demon 85 how's Corryong going in the recruiting? Is Evan still coaching next season or is the Golden Bald Eagle taking over full-time.
Toecutter i think [don't quote me] the only two clubs that have coach's for next season are B/W AN TUMBARUMBA who also appointed Matt Molkinten as coach with maxie just to take abit of the work load off maxie,
Tiger is it true that B/W made an offer to tumba's ruckman 3-4 weeks before clearance's closed an could be heading there in 2011.
True, that was a pretty pathetic effort against Bullioh but in our defense it had been a long season for a team that had 10 or so teenagers run out each week, had been decimated with injuries and unavailabilty in the second half of the year and the usual drop off in morale by round 15 ended in a terrible end to the season for the boys. Hey Ref, Ev is doing the job as far as i know and brad was a great help to him during the year with the Alb/Wod boys who came up with him. Hopefully he sticks around and can add a couple of experienced guys to the side for next year. Maybe if we can get a few of our old local boys come back we can have a successful 2011.and demon85, last game i went up and saw was this yr, corryong v bullioh in corryong. and to be honest it was the worst game of umfl i have ever attended. there was about 20 supporters there total, and the bullioh players were pretty much taking the piss they were doing it that easy. pretty sad to see to be honest. and i have a lot of respect for evan, must be a tough job trying to keep that team together.
Bit of a whisper out of cudgewa that mikal and luke bloom could be back to have a year with their brother adam. Should kill it down here if true. Also a couple of kiewa boys to join them. Is bill deery any relation to neville deery that coached them in the 90's?
Your right - they would absolutely dominate if they played at cudge - 50+ possessions each game, but would not lock them into play just yet. I'm sure after a few games they'd get a bit frustrated with the standard in comparison to what they are used.
Demon85 - which locals are u referring to - sam cross, aaron nank etc? They'd add a fair bit.
Silver Kid [50 possessions a game],how many hands have you got holding your old fella you mite need to give one of them a rest.
The silly season has started.
As I said thats the rumour. Not sure if their travelling or relocating. They would bust it up down here for sure. The blues seem to save their coin for a tilt at the flag every 4-5 years. 2011 could be that year.haha all hands on deck
I saw Mikal get over 40 possessions in an OM game a few years back as an 18 yr old, and Luke played rep footy this year i think. both have been dominant in leagues which are immensely better than the UM. they would run rings around their opposition.

Spoke to maxie last night he said he is loosing the Brook boys to Culcairn because they want to play with their brother Tim [so much for his O.M.career].but he wish's them all the best and he also could be loosing B.Macklan an Cain Richards .

Hi Ref,havent got any rumours for you at the moment,but if Ben and Cain are leaving Tumba I hope they are heading B/W way but I dont know,and havent heard of any other pickups at B/W ,but if I hear of any I will keep them to myself until they are confirmed.If the word is right Cudgie are going to field a very strong side in 2011.Well Fridays paper had cudgies coach and two recruits.Heard of one Kade Bakes played for Bullioh a few years ago,Matt Brady don't know.
