Someone sent this to me as an idea. Anyone got any comments? i.e Gary Wilson missed a guernsey? What's your best team of AFL/VFL players to come from our clubs? Back D. Hardwick ( Upwey/Ess/Rich ) M .Firrito ( Gembrook/Nth Melb ) T. Wheeler ( Warburton/Bulldogs ) H/Back D. Wirrpanda (...

The YVMDFL 'Grapevine' has a feature page titled 'Where Are They Now?'. If you have a recollection of any former personalities (players, umpires, administrators, etc.) please post here so we can start a conversation on them and as research for an article. We kick off with Jason Snell in Round 1...

The YVMDFN League is looking at some way of recognising the champions who have come from our local clubs to achieve honour at the top level. Just a cursory scan shows some absolute AFL legends that our clubs have produced then sent on to become household names. Healesville, Upwey, Woori...

Upwey's Rory Sloane ripping it up with The Crows makes me think just how many top line players the Tigers have produced over the years. Any chance of BF posters from each club giving a run-down of AFL players who came through their juniors over the years? Just a smattering for a start maybe...

I was interested to read how Geelong's Simon Hogan had fought through depression this year, and was touched by the support he got from within the Cat's as he struggled through it. Scotty West was a Bulldog true champion who also recently went through the hell of depression and I wonder if he got...

I guess, like me, most people are conflicted by the two big life/death issues of abortion and euthanasia. Ethics, religious belief, pragmatics. It rears its head again with the story of the Melbourne lawyer pleading with Premier Baillieu to legalise euthanasia. He pleaded his case with reference...

Pat Dodson seems to think so (Age Nov 16), but is Gillard just pulling another swifty?

Anyone who wants to embarrass themselves by dragging a club, individual, umpire or club's facilities through the mud, then stick your post in here! ...and leave the rest of us in bloody peace!

Jake Niall has logged a thoughtful column in The Age about money undermining club loyalty. Some interesting points, with obvious references to GAblett and the possible precursor of things to come. I recall a similar alarm when Barassi crossed to Carlton in the 60's One thing that occurred to me...

The new VCFL Interleague schedule has been expanded to 20 teams and there is an under age competition as well. The 20 leagues will be ranked from 1-20 each year, so I guess the idea is to try to keep games at equal levels. I get the impression the VCFL will select 2 senior sides to compete in...

I thought this may have been a joke, since the story was released by the Hun on April 1st! The VCFL is still concerned about clubs overspending and players overpricing themselves. They have prepared a guide "For Love or Money" and sent it to clubs to determine how much they should pay for...

[ From http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=692805 - Chief ] You raise a lot of issues here. I recently retired from teaching (secondary in state, catholic and the private systems) and the teacher is confronted with the dilemmas of what, how and when to teach. To some extent the...

Before the end of Friday 16th (start of round 2), select the final ladder positions for Div 2 in Ronison's final ladder thread. At the end of the season, we will open it and see who is closest. I'll see if we can arrange some prizes for the winner/s. Thanks, Ronison and also Lakers.

Stick your neck out! List how you think the Div 1 season will FINISH (and cringe when it is all reviewed 20 weeks later). You get one week's grace. Close date is Friday 23rd, the day before round 2. I will try to arrange some prizes for the best entries.

Due to start this Saturday with Woori v Wandin, then the remainder of R1 the following week. What are your selections?

They have gone mad with the recruiting. Can someone tell us what is happening? The Maggies seem to have joined the recruiting spree in Div 2 with gusto. A lot of new names will help the list for the cellar-dwellers from last year, but Billo will be a loss. Sth Belly? Can't believe it! Maurie...

With pre-season back in full swing, clubs must be ready to fine tune their squads for the opening game. Any news on the practice matches being organised by clubs?

Given that we all have our allegiances to at least one of our local clubs, If you had to change, what other YVMDFNL would you be most likely to follow? ...and What would attract you to that club?

2010 about to start. What do Forumites see coming up for the new season...(Div 1 and 2). i.e. a. Who will be the big improvers for this year b. Who will be the sliders c. What big names are coming to town d. Flag favourites e. Wooden Spooners f. Thoughts on the 2nd Div draw Shelve the club...

We're just about to reach the height of the Silly Season. A couple posted so far: All the action is in 2nd Div with YG, Kinglake, Powelly and Junction drawing more guys than Michelangelo. Healesville is now officially a ghost town - half the list has supposedly left for the 15th year in...
