Murray FL Discussion 2026

["The Roar Is Back"]

With Echuca football teams out, there is an expectation there will be a big crowd.

Should be biggest ever attended GF and by a long way. It’d be disappointing if it’s not up by at least 25% and should by up by close to 35% .

Yep indeed, adding to that start of school holidays, end of season footy trips, Basketball Vic Jamboree is in Echuca and people come for all over the state for that.

Cobram out to a 5 goal lead

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

26 scoring shots to 13 and lose by 2 points .
8.5 to 5.21.
Not sure I’ve ever heard of such poor conversion in a Grand final .
And disappointingly not a huge crowd .
Cobram wins u14’s , u17’s and senior flags .

small ground plays havoc

It’s got good ammenities and the ground size oftens leads to close results which does add excitement . But the games aren’t great to watch from a football viewing perspective particularly now with zoning such a prevalent part in game plans

First time observer of this competition and whilst it ended in a close game, Cobram must have had someone watching over them. Undefeated all year and then 5:21. Very poor performance and underwhelming game overall.

Congupna were terrible and lucky to get as close as they did. Trengrove by far best man on the ground until 3/4 time and him not playing the 4th quarter is the only reason they got close. Muller and Schaper both missed easy goals in the 1st quarter that ended up costly. Take it how you want but I think a group of boys that play for the club always beat a group that play for the coin when pressure comes on.

I disagree, was a great game! Underdog won, favourite even tho they kicked themselves out of it fought to the end!

Even had a chance to win it if the Wiz didn’t miss in last 5 mins, but Beaso basicly jumped over his man to put pressure on the kick.

I have played a lot of games on the Moama ground and been lucky to win on that ground in September, it’s a battle and it hurts you. Space disappears with good team defence, ground opens up if one players switches off.

The Road will forever have nightmares, and Cobram will remember the thought of the impossible.

Great Grand final in both footy and netball. I think league be happy with the day.

The Road Boys play for there club.
A lot of those lads would get more money elsewhere. There close, take less to play together.
Not trying to start a feud but after playing against them for a while it has been a build and thought has gone into there recruitment. I don’t believe bringing money into is right and it lowers Cobram’s win. Don’t discredit a solid game plan by the coach and of course luck.

I think crowds are always challenging to judge unless there all day as there is many phases of crowds at the footy with most attending in waves.
In saying that thought the crowd watching the seniors and the A grade netball was disappointing and it appeared smallest the MFL has seen for some time @ Moama .
Is it time for a change ?

It was a big crowd early they all left and Congupna don’t have a big following.

 

[Hawking Hawkeye]

Also with cobram in 3 of the footy finals wouldnt have helped the numbers, be interesting what the gate was and if it was an increase

Played at Craigieburn in 2023... not sure he left as the most popular member of the group. Then Wallan 2024-25

No issues at Wallan.

Ended the season in dynamic form with multiple top 3 performances. Ripping fella.

Wonder why they have turned off comments on Facebook post

Multiple clubs have been in contact with matt sorrenti from cobram, looking for more midfield opportunity in 26.

Good accurate kick at goal but not half the player he was 10 years ago must be 40.
Will give the umpires plenty

Have heard this, not sure they have the coin sorrenti will ask for. Word is that young gun jack beasly for the tigers has been in the weight room consistently, will look to be a huge presence in Cobram back to back aspirations.

Massive get for the tigers with Johnny Guy coming on board as a playing assistant coach. A resume that speaks for itself, highly regard within Country Victoria for his high standards and ability to get the best out of his players. Wouldn't be surprised if he is able to drag a couple other players with him out of the Ovens and Murray, would help the tigers cover the potential loss of Matt Sorrenti who has been shopping himself around.
