HDFNL & WFNL Clubs have been flooding the Wimmera Mallee HQ with underage permit requests to allow top age U11s to play U14s & U14s to play U17s as clubs struggle to put sides together. 95% have been knocked back by the sounds. Laharum had 8-10 rejected yesterday, causing a huge frustration to...
Yeah, that's stupid too. Most grounds these days have the football and netball away from each other. Can also see the netball whistle being an issue with the courts so close to the oval.
Taylor's Lake & Stawell Switfts have merged their U17s for the 2024 season. They will be called the Taylors Swifts (can't even make this s**t up). They will play home games only, so if Swifts are at home they'll play there, if TL at home they will play there. Going to be another difficult year...
The most under used ground in the Wimmera. Years before any major works are completed at City Oval. The netball pavilion has been sent to tender twice and come back well over budget. Now out for a 3rd time with some local builders not wasting there time again. The new stage looks impressive but...
Agree, Clubs are much bigger than the Senior Football teams. Why mergers aren't simple also. Taylors Lake & Laharum for example, how would you accommodate combining the netball teams?
Onto the next one...
Bit happening behind the scenes.
Walder back to the Eagles. Was rumors on WL Grand Final day that the Rats had already told him he wasn't required.
Giants & JR in talks. Stay in the Wimmera League?
Pekin back to the Demons?
Should be a very good game. Cashed up Giants against the slick Ararat outfit. The Rats well and truly pulled the Saints pants down last weekend. Every single mistake was pounced on. Big ground, warm day at Dimmy should suit both teams style of play.
Ararat too strong in the twos i'd think. Some...
Even Comp in the WFL this year. Top 3 sides full of quality. Burras look to have slipped a bit and Saints playing some attacking footy. Worst Demons side in 20 years?
Giants, Rats, Dimmy
Saints, Burras
Nhill, Stawell, Warrack, Horsham
Giants wanting to play 16 a side in the Seniors this week. Country Footy is f ucked.
edit: Signed Ex Port & Bulldogs player Jackson Trengrove yesterday & played with 18 in their lost to the Saints today.
Anyone keen to get serious, improve their running l can't speak highly enough about getting an online coach. The support, guidance, motivation and accountability they provide is worth every cent.
Will be interesting to see how clubs go fielding reserves sides this year. Was talk of 5-6 HDFL sides struggling to get U17s teams together also. Laharum & Taylor's Lake won't field teams. Lots relying on WFL byes to pinch a few extra kids each week.
Edit: No U17s for E/A also...
Chat at footy...
Huge news for sure. Country Clubs are struggling & this will hurt Dimmy big time. Losing 12 points is the killer. Kills their finals hopes. How they keep moral up all year will be interesting.

Hope you don't mind me sneaking in here Gents. Well done Miner Boy on setting up this thread. As a Wimmera local l'm looking forward to sharing a few kms with Jordan along the way and offering support where l can. A few days on the highway together l'm sure we'll reminisce about the good old...
Did Sydney Mara too. Great fun with a few mates. Really enjoyed running with a mate for the race who got an 11 minute PB after 8 attempts to go sub 3:30. I went into the race a little under done & have been carrying a niggle in my knee for a few months now. Think it might have caught up with me...
Some interesting results with the senior footy already. Giants over Eagles, Burras over Giants & Eagles over Burras. Saints look to be off the pace early, lacking tall timber.
Disappointing to see the Giants struggling to field junior football sides. No U12's & a handful of U17's. Surely not...
That was a while ago! Caused quite a stir.
Started this week. 14 Guys $100 each.
Bet $70 Bank $30.
If you return double your bet you bet again next week. We'll see how it goes.
Cheers Guys.
Early movements for next year?
Sounds as though a few Dee's are on the move. Can anyone confirm these rumours? Hobbs, Batchelor & Merlo to the Kees, Geue & Mentha to Geelong, Blake to Sydney?? Burke back.
Timms to leave the Saints for the Burras for some coin.
They are very addictive but geez the vert can smash you. My calves have been bloody sore since Saturdays Grampians run. Bike & a few walks since is all I've managed lol. Better try & get the legs ticking over again in the morning.
Not sure I've had too many bigger frights in my life than when l...
Need to get a bit of trail action to find the mojo. Get off the concrete & track stuff. Target a trail race in your neck of the woods [emoji6]
Longest run in over 12 months for me yesterday. Only 21km but great to mentally tick it off. Bit bloody stiff today though.
Not sure if this guy is one of our posters on here but is in our Strava Big Footy Group.
Guinness World record for Sydney Mara last weekend in a business suit [emoji54]. 2:44 if you don't mind. Wow...
Don't follow the DL much but what are the Giants juniors like? Will they always continue to pay players to come home. Thought it was really interesting that the U14 GF was played between Pimp & Taylors Lake, two of the poorest senior sides going around.
