Fixtures out! Some teams play 16 games and 2 byes Other teams play 17 games and 1 bye Intriguing

Above Essendon VFL list v NTFL in praccy match on Wednesday gone. A few Golden Square names in there

Games on January 27 and February 3 at North Hobart Oval

Only 1 of the 3rd round replays is on Paramount+ this morning. Seems odd.

Fair point. If Bendigo league was all clubs within 15km of Bendigo it could work. Seems to be the way the league is headed

Permanent Twilight football might solve some structural problems of clubs with multiple U14 and U16 teams. Make it so clubs can only have a single u14 team and a single u16 team U14 9.15am U16 10.45am U18 12.30pm Reserves 2.10pm Seniors 4.00pm Finish 6.30pm?

Genuine question, is Ben Cameron playing at Kyneton this year? Thought he might be moving to Melbourne after school

Currently football clubs are not located where people live. Players live in Bendigo and travel out to clubs such as Mitiamo as an example. I know it's not this simple but consider the idea of move the club to where the people live. No club plays at Weroona Oval for example, only one club now...

State of Origin Must be succinct. All states must be included Division 1 Vic, SA, WA, Qld Division 2 NSW, Tas, NT, ACT ACT could merge with NSW. Controversial "World Team" can take the spot Played as a pre-season magic round - call it "Origin Gather" Games are 2 X 20 minute halves. 8 on...

Regardless of thoughts on travel I think it's a poor effort by AFL Goldfields to have 30 district teams in just 2 leagues. RDFL was/is under their jurisdiction too so that's another 12 clubs. It's my opinion that the majority of these clubs could be better served by a sensible reorganisation...

I played at Campbells Creek in 2014 & 2015. What I think Central Victoria needs is smaller localised district leagues of say 8-9 teams not the current 17 team CHFL and 13 team MCDFNL. It's 115 km from Campbells Creek to Navarre! It's 120 km from Creek to Melbourne CBD Smythsdale and Creek look...

One thing that surprises me is clubs get belted week in week out for years but keep fronting up each season!

What about Natte - Bealiba in the MCDFNL? Merger seems ok to me

Anyone see Gerard Healy's plan for Thursday night footy every week on On The Couch Every team would have two byes between rounds 5 and 22

A team should make it their slot like North Melbourne and Friday Night Football

Why not a 2.10pm start start for this game? It's on Foxtel not those maniacs at Channel 7

I feel that if the Loddon Valley had waited until June 22 when the next round of easing restrictions are announced the key dates and crowd numbers would be clear. I'm surprised leagues aren't waiting but it's up to them I guess. I'm happy that the Bendigo FL is being patient. Maiden Gully YCW...

Below is a good forum about VFL. Frankston players and coaches not being paid https://www.vflfooty.com/comment/67602#comment-67602

Heard a rumour that all VFL games to be played as double headers at Port Melbourne with no crowds. VAFA aiming for a July 25 return

Including teams from Echuca/Moama into the Bendigo FL sounds like a good idea to me Possibly Echuca and Rochy from the GV? Plus Moama and Echuca United from the Murray FL? 4 teams that do have/could develop good local rivalries. 6 Bendigo teams + 4 from Echuca area sounds good. It also fits...

There was talk in Bendigo of YCW taking the step up to Bendigo FL when they moved to the growth suburb of Maiden Gully a few years ago. That talk seems to have fizzled out. I think Maryborough Castlemaine and Kyneton are a problem due to not fielding all netball and football grades...

All quiet on the Bendigo FL board so I thought I'd put this in here. Interesting ideas https://www.bendigoadvertiser.com.au/story/6780077/aflcv-commission-review-to-put-divisional-structure-on-agenda-for-regions-football-netball-competitions/?cs=81

While I'm at it.... Ideally I see the Bendigo FL comprising teams only from Bendigo similar to the Bendigo District Cricket Association. The YCW president said they would consider joing the BFL when they moved to Maiden Gully. I don't know if this will work or the Strath model of a brand new...

I am certainly in favour of a shake up of the Bendigo FL. Opposition to change is simply small mindedness. AlburyE you might get more traction from the Weekly Times. I have heard they are looking into the leagues run by AFL Goldfields (Ballarat). How you can run a district league with 17/18...

Thanks Evo, much appreciated.

Thanks Go Blues and STFU Donny. Glad you enjoyed the Dean Wallis Diary - it was fun to write.

Thats my work. I hope you enjoyed it. It was fun to write!

Rested for upcoming One Day games v South Africa that start on Friday. Stupid from CA.

The AFL annual reports are a good place to have a look - the earlier ones have lots of historical information. The earliest I can find is from 1993. https://secure.ausport.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/86494/AFL_Annual_Report_1993.pdf
