    North Gippsland Football League Pt 3

    What do you think of the VCFL ruling that will allow Yarram to affiliate with the NGFNL from 2014? Probably a 50/50 view out there, or 5/5 as the league voting on the matter would suggest. Looks like 11 clubs will push the league into a 20 round, 2 bye system. Not too dissimilar from the AFL...

    Alberton Footy League - 2016

    It is true Yarram voted strongly to go to North Gippsland, 86% to be precise. Now they require 7 out of 10 North Gippy clubs to approve and if that is successful, still require approval from the VCFL. No offer was made to DWWWW to merge. No offer is there to become Yarram United. I don't...

    Alberton Footy League - 2016

    News out of Yarram Football Club: * Josh Swift has put a clearance in to play at Yinnar. Lives over that way which makes it hard to train. Should have a good year in the Mid Gippy. * Chris Pettitt off to coach at Woodside, taking the Staley brothers with him. Massive challenge at a young...

    Alberton Footy League - 2016

    I remember Darren 'Doc' Wheildon played a season for Inverloch Kongwak. Used to collect footy cards when he was at Fitzroy, thought he went alright. You could tell he had played at a higher level, but also that he had seen better days. Just read on Wikipedia that he was hit by a Taxi in King...

    Hey Bench Boy, Funny you mention that Yarram is a dump, because I don't remember either Kilcunda or Bass as being particularly spectacular. Isn't Kilcunda a windswept retirement village for people who can't afford to live on Phillip Island? Does Bass have anything apart from a Giant...

    Yarram had a bye, looks like some of the players wanted to get a bit of touch. Saw a few players got cleared to North Gippy as well. Imagine Yinnar would be pretty happy about his performance. Not sure if the opposition would have recognised the pasty, lanky unit hanging out in the forward...

    Re: Allies, Woodside and Yarram Coaching Appointments Good spot Mr Duckdog! Woodside are playing in the North Gippsland League this year, however I did think it relevant to mention their coaching appointment. It has been said that the Allies job was Anedda's for the taking, but he turned...

    Allies, Woodside and Yarram Coaching Appointments The Allies should be very happy with the appointment of Shane Buckley. Playing/coach who grew up with the club and has tasted success. With their young list, he will provide good experience and leadership in what will be a tough year ahead...

    Woah big horse! No need to put the cart first when making accusations of this nature. Let's set a few things straight, shall we? Coach has been sacked: Jeremy Reid was asked to reapply for his position as senior coach next year and elected not to do so. All coaches are required to reapply for...

    Alberton Footy League - 2016

    Coming from outside the top 2 is a big challenge for any club with the finals set up in this league. For 1 or 2, it's a week off, followed by a 7 day break after a potential Grand Final preview game. For 3 - 6, it's 2 tough games in a row, followed by a 6 day break. So by the time any...

    Alberton Footy League - 2016

    Like you Maybloomz, I did not attend the meeting. I have talked with someone who attended the meeting and from their account, I believe the meeting was a great opportunity for the pro's and con's of the Alberton League and the North Gippsland to be put forward to the people in attendance. As...

    Your spot on, just because a club is rebuilding doesnt give people from other clubs the right to bag them and belt them, especially on a thread when you hide behind your online account. FYI - I am from the Yarram Football Club and am not hiding behind an online account, as anyone from the club...

    Alberton Footy League - 2016

    Harry, your point about the depth in the 2s is a good one. It is difficult to expect a strong team to come from a small town. Having played outside the Alberton League, I can see how important it is to have strong numbers in the reserve grade on the field and at the social functions. On the...

    Alberton Footy League - 2016

    Harry, you make some very good points in regards to the Yarram Football club and the state of play in the local league. When I mentioned "24 senior players being cleared", I meant 24 senior age players being cleared. I know not all of them are of senior footballer quality, but the results in the...

    Alberton Footy League - 2016

    From all reports, not all is well at the Yarram Football Club. With 24 senior players being cleared and only 4 new players on board, numbers are looking decidedly thin. The reserves have not even looked like winning a game and only ran out with 13 senior age players for the local derby...
