Being thats its around the half way point of the season, was curious as to who people rate as their teams, and oppositions 3 best players to date? Also wondering if there are any surprises regarding ladder positions and the spots that may be up for grabs in the coming months?
Interesting to see that both Ash Hobbs and Brad Gleeson have lodged clearances to Violet Town, I imagine it is for a one game permit (can anyone clarify) as the GVFL has the bye this week. It should definitely make the Violet Town-Undera game more interesting, seeing as both of them are senior players at Euroa.

They both were at training last night and I was under the impression that they are on for the rest of the year, but I can't say I actually asked, I'm just assuming that. Hope so anyway.... We have a 6ft 2 bloke from Melbourne meant to be starting in the next couple of weeks also (not sure of his name). Plus Ben Ballinger (who broke his scaphoid falling off a ladder just before round 1) should finally get to debut for us in the next 2-3wks hopefully...
In regards to the better players from other teams on the day we played them, here goes:
Lanky: Shane Gemmil, Warren & Roberts (i think, who ever dominates in the backline)
Nag: Vercoe, Morris, Haysoms and Q. Comi
Stan: Can't remember but the backline won them the match in the 2nd half that day
Murch: Milne and Hodgetts
Avenel: Goodwin and the young cheeky fella lookin' for a blue every 5 minutes (not sure of his name)
Rushy: Johnson & A. Clarke, usually Martin plays well but he had a quiet day.
Gig: S. Parker by a mile, R. Myers & T. Snelson
Longwood: B. Hammil and Bourke
Ardy: round 1, can't remember but one guy kicked 4 in the 3rd though
Undera, Tally and Merrigum: Haven't played yet

I see Hank's clearance back to Stanhope was put through last night as well....
going to be an interesting year for sure with a number of teams all a chance for the flag,if l was a bookie, odds for the flag would be---
Nagambie--11/8 fav lost saturday but still best team in it.
Lanky --3-1 beat Undera so confidence is rising
Stanhope--5-1 written off early but are good come september
Undera --6-1 last years flag winners,well coached,going ok
V/Town --6-1 big smokie,watch late recruiting
Murch --50-1 highly unlikely,good kids though
Tally --100-1 out of blocks early but hit brick wall No
Rushy --100-1 promised a bit , delivered not much,good kids though
write your own ticket for the rest
Biggest disappointment so far,, Gig & the Gum
Lot to learn Longwood (but they will improve)
It only took 9 years, but someone at lanky must've listened to me.
Rudda to suit up for the EJ Whitten Legends game, Tuesday July the 6th.

Looking forward to the spectacle!!

My tips:
Stanhope vs Murchison (11pts) - Will be closer than what people think I reckon, Murch are definitely the best team outside the 5.
Merrigum vs Avenel (60pts) - Merrigum are just to far off the pace this year and Avenel should enjoy a comfortable win.
Ardmona vs Rushworth (120pts) - Long year for Ardy to continue and Rushy to gain some momentum for the rest of the year
Tallygaroopna vs Lancaster (50pts) - Lanky seem to be beating most teams around the middle of the ladder by 8 or 9 goals and this will be no exception.
Undera vs Violet Town (15pts) - Been an excellent ground for us since joining the KDFL, taking home 4 pts every time we've played there. Plus I'm biased and hopeful of an upset
Longwood vs Girgarre (70pts) - Longwood to register some goals this week, but Girgarre to strong
Stanhope vs Murchison (11pts) - Will be closer than what people think I reckon, Murch are definitely the best team outside the 5.
Merrigum vs Avenel (60pts) - Merrigum are just to far off the pace this year and Avenel should enjoy a comfortable win.

I'm not sure how many people witnessed the thirds game between Murch and Stanhope on Saturday? The game ended in a draw, which was perhaps fitting as the Stanhope kids played very well. Now, without taking anything away from these kids, the umpiring (especially in the last 1/4) was disgraceful and heavily/very noticeably biased towards Stanhope...especially from the umpire who's son was apparently lining up for Stanhope?
This led to a few words being said as they walked off the ground and one of the umpires raising his hands in triumph and pushing a vocal Murch supporter, which isn't what you want from a kids game.
I'd like to hear from others who saw this game and especially some Stanhope people, perhaps with an explanation as to why that umpire was umpiring the way he was/if at all? I don't see how he can pay several free kicks from 100 metres away when the other umpire is right in front of play - each to Stanhope. Report a Murch player for trying to shrug a Stanhope player off, who was holding onto him a long time after he took a mark (I thought that the 50m penalty rule applied here to the bloke being held onto, not a report of the bloke trying to struggle free?) and then pushing Murch 3rds players around after the game then reporting them for abusive language??? if someone can explain any of this to me in a logical manner i will congratulate them.....
I thought it was an embarressment to the umpire, his son and the whole Stanhope club who has a very strong reputation now of having their own, umpire their games, terribly...what made it worse was the president of the league (who, mind you, only seems to turn out to Stanhope games these days) stood by and watched the crap unfold on the field and the resulting flaring of tempers afterwards and did not do a thing...piss poor effort by all involved..

Wat a load of shit, get ya facks right before u post.
That's what I saw mate, please inform me where i'm incorrect and maybe we can have a decent discussion rather than just telling me that it's a load of shit....and try spelling right when you tell me the "facks" so I can understand "ya"..
I'm quite happy to stand corrected, providing you can explain it to me, in more than 12 awfully strung together words like your last post..

Do you blokes want the real story?
Have links with Murchison and Tatura and sorry to say Murchison come out looking very poor. As do many of their under 18 players. I even over heard Murchison parents apologizing to the parent of one of the players that had been on the recieving end of unfair and reportable incidents throughout the match. the way murchison conducted themselves probably will mean i shall rethink my sponsorship and membership next season. they were a disgrace on and off the field

STOP ur EFFing sooking.. no umpire son rule at the Mainland u whinging prick
. For mine it was a good game played in good spirit. And a good result for both teams. Also the league Pres was standing at least 100 metres away so how could he hav any invovlement
U say all Involved it was ur player/supporter that was havin a go at the neutral umpire, not the supposedly father of one of the Stanhope footballers So as Kings said get ur FACTS straight.🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

It was a shame that a good game was spoiled by inconsistent officiating and some baffling decisions that cause tempers to get flared, (which seemed almost exclusively went the way of the hosts), but that being said quite a few people (the umpires, some spectators, etc) have hardly come up smelling like roses after the match, and hopefully, this game should act as a spur (and a wake-up call) for the Under 18's to strive towards better things, because situations like this only make a rod for you own back.
Sat back and watched the 3rds game from start to finish. Both umpires are accreditated, the older fella of the two I haven't seen before and the other lives in Stanhope and has a last name the same as one of the players in the the 3rds so of course that would be where the Murchison people jumped to conclusions saying he had a son playing. Wrong.
The game was a pretty good standard with Murchison looking the better side but Stanhope hung in the contest and came home with a wet sail, helped by some undisciplined acts by Murch players and some umpiring that was to the letter of the law with no backchat taken.
I can certainly see where the Murch players and supporters got frustrated as the umpire has umpired a few 3rds and reserves games involving Stanhope over his time and has sent many a Stanhope player off and paid a fair few 100m penalties against us.
Over time the Coaches of our side have made our players well aware that any backchat wont be tolerated and MOST players adapt accordingly.
The young Murch boys should have realised after the 1st 50 and subsequent 100 that this umpire would not take any backchat whatsoever and that if you did open your mouth and show disrespect to the official then you and your side would be penalised.
So, Yes I agree it can be an advantage for any sides to have an umpire from your town as you know what your going to get before the first bounce and have time to adapt.
Young Milne was a very good player on the day but he was one player who was very undisciplined especially when the game got close, from the reaction of the clubs supporters I can see where he has got his attitude and lack of respect to officials from.
Sorry to single him out but he looks like a kid with real talent that can go places and if he pulls his head in it will only help him, ( hopefully some sane people had a quiet word to him after the game, believe his old man even talked to the umpire in question and didnt have any problems with the way he dealt with the game)
The biggest two problems I found where both after the game when supporters of Murchison berated the officials as they went off, the umpire in question walked straight into the umpires rooms and didnt engage with the crowd. The other umpire who should hang up the boots was in the end just as much to blame as the Murch supporters as he helped incite the crowd by urging them on to abuse him and then even confronted one Murchison supporter and gave him a push in the chest, very ordinary scenes after an underage football game.
The Stanhope players and some supporters weren't angels either, whilst this was happening they were cheering and clapping well done Stanhope as they thought at this stage they had won the game, this didnt help diffuse the situation either.
When we have 40-50 year olds acting like that after an underage football game you dont have to wonder and ask why some teenagers of today are growing up with little respect for their elders.
Hopefully there will be some cool heads and leaders of both clubs who have a word to those involved and make sure they pull their heads in, and the Murch boys are undefeated so they will be playing finals where they will get senior umpires who like Saturday won't tolerate 14 to 18 yr olds showing them any disrespect. Adapt and play footy, I did get told many moons ago that the umpire won't change his decision!!

Hank dont no if you have ever played the game but i do agree young milne can play football but he must understand the rules of the game state that you cannot elbow people in the head( delibretly) punch people in the face or run in and drop your kness in their back. The rules apply to every one in our game and that includes any one that plays for Murchison aswell. And he was not the only Murchison player that played outside the rules. KDL people must learn courage on a footy field and strength is putting your head over the ball.
Agree, as I said he can PLAY(has plenty of natural ability) the game, but lets himself down with his discipline (both verbal and physical abuse).
Well said hank. I also was at the game too and seen first hand what happened, Murch thirds need to pull there heads in. But in saying that what about the game last weeks game against naggas this so called umpire gave thirteen 50m againt Naggas for so called back chat, But when shanhope did it the ball was thrown up.

Yeah fair point but can't comment as wasn't at the Nagambie game last week, can only comment on what I seen on the weekend, and what I've seen over the years with his umpiring, he used to love sending your Hoota's and Chalkie Auld's off when he used to umpire our thirds
