No, his brother in law is the new coach at Tonny. But I’m assuming they’ll also try get his brother Matt too but I’m not sure if he’s still playing these days or not. He won a B&F at Tonny maybe 10 years ago
Backing congupna to get the job done. On another note, huge pickup for Tongala with Brett Deledio next season. Expect the blues to bounce back hard next season.
No I don’t think there needs to be any clubs step up to fill the gap, when I first heard about it there was 8 clubs interested in the move from outside the MFL, so they thought if two drop back there’d be 10 in the second division leaving 11 in the original league. But obviously things will...
Punishing teams with lower points only weakens the league overall. Imagine winning a flag then having to tell some of your players they have to leave because they’re on reduced points. We need to encourage participation, not inhibit. The points system and salary cap in minor leagues should be...
I think some of the main dilemma here from AFL vic standpoint lie within the KDFL, Ardmona and Rushworth gone and a handful of others on the brink, Shepp East, Murchison, Dookie all showing intent to be involved in the new Murray League arrangement - 6 sides currently not filling under 18’s is a...
There ya go bud

Connection was I believe that he works in Nathalia for a local builder that also plays for the club, plus Nathalia assistant coach Luke McGill also a former Tonny boy from a few years back.
Not much else happening on this thread! Cowley coming back from Goulburn Valley club Mooroopna, will be a very handy inclusion for Nathalia who are currently well in the mix and gaining momentum as the season rolls on. Won’t even bother responding to the pathetic second half of your comment...
Hard to get a gauge on some teams, particularly Numurkah, the gap between top 3, the next 6, then the bottom 4 is quite large and some sides haven’t played good teams yet. A favourable draw might end up being the difference between 3-6 and 7-9. If Tonny can roll Numurkah twice they’ll more than...
Anyone keen to go early on a top 6? (Team & wins)
Mulwala 17
Congupna 17
Numurkah 15
Moama 14
Cobram 10
Nathalia 9
Leaving Tonny and Deni on 8 wins.
Top 4 is all but settled, fight for the last two places will depend on a few tight wins and some upsets in my opinion.
I don’t think you can necessarily blame the kids though. Some parent’s attitude towards sporting clubs isn’t what it used to be either. Many prefer to have their weekends free as opposed to being tied up with their kids sport. The talent pool for those afl pathways will suffer as participation...
The saturation is no different to what it was 10 years ago. Tatura not fielding a thirds team, there was talk of the Shepp sides forfeiting reserves games. Once June/July comes we’ll see how bad it is. The rapid decline is the concern which has a snowball effect.
Where are we at with country footy? Murray League has 3 sides who 10 years ago would’ve been out and out wooden spooners, clubs scratching together a side on only round 3. Some GV sides struggling to put sides on the park, KDL thirds is all but shot. It’s a worry to think where footy will be in...
Literally the worst thing Harley could do is play for Tonny this season. A year of bruise free footy is what he is chasing, he could play no games all year and still go number 1. I’m also hearing he will be named captain of the pioneers today so I think he’d be pretty keen to have a crack at that.
Going back to the “only time they’ve been respected” comment is a slap in the face to their champion netball teams they’ve had over the years and previous strong sides they’ve had over the years. But I wouldn’t expect anything less from you Luke with your “if it’s not senior footy it doesn’t...
