Thorson is a big loss. Should be a cracker though Is Daniels definitely sacked or are Tat having second thoughts?

Morgan has been seen speaking to clubs in the Eastern football league. Ash will play in the GF. The right call was eventually made. I think the game will be closer than people think. Especially if the 25-30 km winds stick around.

Completely agree. Bears ability to spread from the contest & get easy ball out in space was great to watch, but a real blight on Echuca. They really lacked leg speed. Echuca were also very poor at putting any physical pressure on Bears. The defenders continually got trailed to the footy...

I hope I’m wrong, it’s just been my observations over the past 3 years. Admittedly the congestion can have a lot to do with the lack of clean ball movement & not necessarily the fault of the coaches.. Happy to hear it’s not what’s been seen by other people.

Nah I’m not kidding. I’m not saying it will happen, but it should come up for discussion. Why do we have to be so set in stone with the laws while Afl change it all the time? The full ground press, 6th fwd into the stoppage, making the ground small in defense, behind goals footage are all things...

The option for 16 a side is as relevant as ever IMO. Allows for less congestion around stoppages = more attractive open footy. Two more players in the twos, which we all know is an issue in the area. It will also raise the standard of play with the two worst players not getting picked anymore...

Never said common knowledge. From what I’ve heard from speaking to a guy who had been told so. Never said it was gospel though. What clubs pay is their choice. Do you think those 3 clubs could make the 8 if they were paying the $150k?

The cap is set at $150k I think. I’m just saying that there’s a big money difference currently which is no fault on any clubs. If next year the three clubs were in the comp, there’s a possibility they could make the 8 if they were able to recruit 5-6 $400 players. By the way, I’d suggest there...

I agree, & I’d think you’d find that the other 2 Picola league clubs could contend for finals If they were aware & had time to spend the extra $60 thousand that other clubs are spending.. probably would be sustainable for the smaller clubs, but I’m sure they’d be able to do it for a year or two.

I’m not saying the points system is good for footy, because I’ve seen the issues it can cause. However I think we need to remember what it was brought in for. A Focus more on retaining juniors and local senior players. Clearly this is a systemic issue throughout country vic which will hopefully...

You’ve got to remember the selection commitee have only put a squad of players together who have made themselves available.. I’m sure there were a few who knocked back the opportunity for whatever reason. Looks a strong enough squad considering the drop off in overall quality this league has...

I respect that. Yeh, I think once they can get a more stable off field structure, they’ll be able to steer clear of these knee jerk decisions which are being made because of the environment the club is in. I agree, grassroots in particular the Gv area is nearing breaking point. Unfortunately...

We get it Ringo, you’re not a fan of the Swans. Clearly they’re struggling in the seniors & reserves. This cycle of low numbers & quality happens to MOST clubs. You also know how football participation in regional areas is at an all time low. Good luck to them as they need it. What you forget to...

It did cross my mind! Yeh it’s only early. It looks to me like it will be a Bears v Ky GF in my opinion, which everyone is allowed of course.

Benalla have quietly gone about their business in pre season & are shaping up nicely. Have only really lost Bannister. Have some good juniors & with luck will have their a graders playing a lot more footy than last season. No surprises with Seymour. With that many changes in the team it’s going...

That is a shame. I stopped listening to that show when the sports guests who were getting interviewed took a back seat to two men continually gloating. Never much research on the guests either. Hopefully another sports program is set up on 95.3

How do we access the teemsheets of each teams? I can’t find it anywhere.

So why didn’t the board communicate the missing of the first deadline back in December to the clubs?. Instead they wait until it came out in the media on the 5th of March. Yes you’re right, since then there has been a truck load. Nothing that’s helped ease the pain of the clubs however.

Say whatever makes you sleep easy, we all know this is a blatant Lie. There was no communication on the affiliation after the 2017 season started

Isn’t this exactly what the finding was by Afl vic in the 2011 review of Vic country footy by Peter Jackson? That participation growth through the majority of country Victoria had stagnated or declined. To be directly the blame at the Hub like you seem to continue to do doesn’t seem fair. Yes...

I know it’s all subjective, but it seems as though the media portray( mainly shepp news) the Pdfl in a way that the league are only doing it to annoy the Hub. No opinion pieces or broader comments on the negative impact AFL Vic are having on rural towns. It does seems like there is beginning to...

I wish I could get back the 10 minutes I spent reading all that crap. You boys are over thinking it. Pdfl is alway going to have these issues, as it’s a DISTRICT comp. All we can do is continue to provide the best services avaialable for these kids to enjoy & develop their footy. Stop putting...

That’s annoying If that’s the case. Bushies have this idea that playing a better standard is the be all & end all. It’s not always the case. Especially not in the Shepparton area. History suggests this. Why can’t these players continue to train & prepare at the Bushies standards all the while...

It showed a lack of class by Tat to not name Swans as the club he played the last two years for.

Ju It was just what I'd been told. Credit to him for making the Vic team, very surprising Smith or Clifton didn't get a game though.

Was also talk that Tat haven't been to happy with his output this season either.

rumours around is that Darcy Williamson has been shopping himself around a few clubs in the Geelong league, anyone know if this is true? also, how good is he? i see he was training with the vfl team over the summer? why didnt he get drafted?

Grovedale are playing Drysdale tomorrow for a 6 quarter game.

It has to be on the radio because milky mahoney for some reason, i don't think likes Grovedale and always has to have a say on other clubs that he doesn't like, never hear him bag joeys even when they had some little problems going on pre season with some players. Has anyone actually heard him...

With 6 games to go I will have a rough stab at a team of the year to date. Let me know your thoughts, who should be in.out etc. Obviously most of them im going on best players for their clubs and maybe filling in a couple of spots with better known players. Remember its a rough side, just doing...
