2026 O&M Football league discussion.

Where does that put Yarra? Can they still play finals?
After 2 rounds I feel Wang x 2, Myrt & Lavi should all be there. Albury, Yarra & Dogs fighting for 5th

Yarrawonga are ordinary. A busy team with a few jets but they are nowhere near the glory days of yesteryear. The loss of Masters is of course huge but they are in the mire big time

They have a fair few 30yo+ older guys & a lot of young kids 18-20yo, but not many in the middle age bracket.

Is Connor Newnham injured or has he left already? Not named in the seniors or the reserves for Albury this weekend.

From all reports he wants out but due to accepting a juicy sign on fee Albury are going to hold him unless a club reimburses them.

Fair enough too I suppose.

That must've hurt last week with CR winning

Albury v Wang mag looks to be a ripper

Early days. Two from three and a close loss to Myrtleford. Yet to play at their own ground after three rounds and probably travelling better at this stage than expected. The next two rounds will give a much better picture

interesting round ,,must say a great effort by the sides that were losers on the day ,, I mean there could of been some big losses but no

Yarrawonga looking good for a big improvement on 2025,, will be a threat

40 disposals and 4 goals for Mitch Hardie on the weekend.

What’s the issue at Albury? Are they just not putting a good side out on the paddock or are they just not gelling?

Too many pretty boys, no one willing to get the hands dirty

Best ruckman in the league Dayman a late out before the bounce. Christie says no worries lads and has 28 touches and 45 hit outs

I reckon North will fancy themselves this week. Won’t be short of motivation that’s for sure.

 

[TheGreatBambino]

Just read in the BM that Blake Newton has done his ACL aswell. In his draft year too.

 

[TheGreatBambino]

North Albury were in it upto their eyeballs, just had nothing up forward.

Far from impressed with Albury still.

are they playing a defensive game plan ,,,I mean they are averaging a very low total score of 65 points a game so far,, so 9 goals 11 points a game ????

Think Newman needs to come in next match, Rake goes out to fit in the points

They attacked all day, I think the inside 50s ended up 47-43 or similar, North just kept breaking down entering forward 50. Won their fare share of clearances, Flynn Gardiner & Pope were excellent in defence & Hayes coming off half back.

Their forward line with Jack King, Callum Fisher, Cooper McIntosh & Darcy Cullen were up against it. Couldn’t fault their effort though.

Out of their 5 goals, only one was a ‘clean’ one, Broomheads mark and goal in the first term, the other 4 goals were 50m penalties x2, a free kick and a scrappy one on the goal line.

Their 3 best goalscorers are their 3 best midfielders, Broomhead, Penny & Rigoni.

J.Conlan & Heinner-Hennessy still to come in , who are both ahead of him.

Newman bagged 13 in the ressies on the weekend ,,,has had a back injury which has restricted him during pre season and actually did not play last week ,,,no harm in giving him a go
