    Round analysis

    Just to set the record straight I am neither a sook nor an Upwey person, rather I am a great lover of local football and I am concerned about the continued existence of our game in the way that we have come to love it so much. Naturally, alternate views to my own are not only welcome but may...

    Round analysis

    I notice that Fevola has now returned to that place from whence he came. Is this then to be the norm for our League; an important match for a club approaches so they grab hold of a passing gun-for-hire, pay him a bucket load of money and then, at the end of the match, watch him ride off into the...

    2012 YVMDFNL Grand Final

    Disappointing performance by the umpires following the conclusion of the Under Eighteens’ Grand Final. As soon as they had received their Grand Final medallions the umpires quit the scene, failing to stick around while the victorious Wandin team were presented with their premiership medallions...

    Upwey Grand Final Day and Season Review

    Judging by the reaction of the Upwey crowd when Porter mentioned Wazza at the presentations I would say that they were absolutely furious with what Wazza had written, and rightly so. It was interesting to note that that Wazza column did not appear on the League website as it normally does and...

    YVMDFL- Part 4

    I notice that the Upwey website is suggesting that this will be Upwey’s 22 Senior YVMDFL Grand Final. If this is true then it would mean that they have played in just a whisker under 48% of all the YVMDFL Grand Finals which seems an incredible effort of consistency. Can anyone confirm that this...

    YVMDFL- Part 4

    I have just been told that the match was to raise funds for a players' superannuation fund which doesn't seem to have ever materialised. Wonder what happened to the cash raised?

    YVMDFL- Part 4

    I happened to be looking through Upwey’s magazine that is on their website as it often has some interesting stuff in it and came across an article about a match the Upwey played against a combined YVMDFL team in 1978. Apparently this match was played at Gembrook the week after the 1978 grand...

    YVMDFL- Part 4

    Absolutely spot on Oldtimer. McNice was really McHorrible. we have all just about recovered from the Cameron horror but unfortunately his teaching still remains with some. The game would be the richer without the likes of McTerrible. I counted sixteen 50 metre penalties before I lost count. well...

    Yarra Valley-Mountain District FL Discussion Forum 3

    If that is correct and the whole problem of the Upwey/Monbulk jumpers clash has been caused by Monbulk not considering other clubs' jumper designs when they changed theirs, then wouldn't it be the fair thing for them to do to use their altenative jumpers each time that they play Upwey rather...

    Yarra Valley Mountain District FL Forum

    The answer is very simple. Peter Cameron. Since he took over control of the umpires is when the rot set in. Until his services are dispensed with things will not improve and the respect between players and umpires will continue to deteriorate. One never knows from one week to the next what...
