Considering we're half way through 2012, it's about time for a new thread.

No team can lay claim to being a clear flag favourite at the half way mark. The top 5 looks relatively settled but with Newbridge coming good after a shaky start to the season, the order is anyone's guess. Marong will rue the early losses to Mitiamo and Calivil, but have 6 of the last 8 at home keeping their finals chances alive. YCW, after being highly fancied in the pre season will be wondering where it all went wrong. Along with Mitiamo and Inglewood, they could consider their season over.

Have a quick question that im hoping someone will be able to answer for me, back in 2000 Newbridge beat YCW in the GF (im certain it was those two) Question is, what ground was the game played at?

Stinking hot day at Calivil. Newbridge won by less than a goal.

Thanks buddy, I actually think it was only a couple of points, I was there when I was younger but for the life of me I couldnt remember what ground it was at
I remember watching this one, several yc players reported after the game over a questionable final goal in the last minute. Hard to split the teams but an epic grandfinal, Carson a Castlemaine recruit the difference. great leap and kick. Was great for the comp as they had a run of close grand finals with yc normally losing with the country versus town club rivalry going strong.
People now talk the league down but lets be honest, it may not be as strong in standard as it once was in the past but as long as local community gets behind it it will have a long & enjoyable future, thats what its about.

Have the finals venues been released yet?

Finals will be at Pyramid Hill, Inglewood, Marong, Bridgewater, Calivil and YCW.

Pyramid are due the Grand Final but depending on where they finish, the GF may be moved to Inglewood. The exact make up of finals venues won't be known until after the final round.

By my count there's 4 teams looking for new coaches - Calivil, YCW, Inglewood and Mitiamo. Any news on appointments?

Any rumours/truths/lies about player movements for 2013?

Pyramid have signed Kerangs premiership coach for whats believed to be 35k with Coatsey taking over the blues job next season. Way too much $$ at the Hill
