To think when the Northern Mallee & the Southern Mallee merged leagues for the 1997 season the comp looked like this:

1997
Berriwillock/Culgoa
Beulah
Brim
Hopetoun
Jeparit Rainbow
Manangtang
Nulawill
Ouyen United
Sea Lake/Nandaly
Walpeup/Underbool
Woomelang/Lascelles
Yaapeet

2014
Beulah
Hopetoun
Jeparit/Rainbow
Ouyen United
Sea Lake Nandaly Tigers
Walpeup/Underbool
Woomelang/Lascelles
2015??

Kind of depressing really & I pose the question: If Beulah were to go to North Central, Ouyen to Sunraysia & Sea Lake go to Central Murray thus dispanding the league, where does that leave Walpeup/Underbool? They're kind of in no mans land

I'm pretty sure Jeparit & Rainbow were still separate identities then

Down to only six clubs next season. One more club gone and the league might fold.

Any truth in the rumour Tooleybuc-Manangatang are considering a transfer to Mallee FL?

If that were to happen, I think it would be disastrous for Tooley-Manang. Going to a league where folding is a very real possibility, from a league where they are competitive and have been successful, doesn't seem like a great move from the club perspective.
 
its on win news Ballarat so who knows what could happend down the track
 
AFL Victoria Country have announced that they will be conducting a major strategic review into competition structures in the north west. Now that the review has been announced clubs are to stay in their current leagues for the 2015 season. The review is to be completed by June 2015 and any recommendations to be implemented for the 2016 season.

I thought this may interest a few and get a few comments, but appears not. So regardless of Hopetoun-Beulah merger they will have to stay in the Mallee league for 2015. And apparently JR had been in discussion with Horsham DFL, will also have to remain in Mallee FL. Mallee FL to continue as is for next season which will be good to test how things go. My question is: Should there be a Mallee Football League after 2015? Or should each club find another league to compete in?

Depends on what the clubs want to do really. If the merger of Hopetoun and Beulah goes ahead it reduces the number of teams in the competition. Are the clubs happy with that or do they think they need to look elsewhere??

So the mallee league will go ahead next year? I'm not sure how that will work out as 6 teams seems very light on with the Beulah/Hopetoun merger.

I actually think J/R playing in the Horsham district league could work with them gaining new people around Horsham rather than relying on just locals to get a side. And perhaps Beulah/Hopetoun could go to North central league. No idea on the more northern teams in the league.

I really don't see the point of J/R continuing in this league for 2015, they need to change something or else it will get too hard to recruit people especially with there performances on the field lately.
 
If the league was ever to dispand or even merge again, then I see Walpeup/Underbool being the worst effected. Just purely for location they would have to travel even further. Kind of in no man's land
 
Apparently there is some sort of an appeal process if clubs do actually want to change leagues in 2015. Does anyone know which, if any, clubs are undertaking this appeal process and what league(s) are they wanting to move to?

Just curious to know how the league awards are voted on. I see the winner of the League B&F (Russ Gravestock medal), which I assume is voted by the umpires, got 20 votes but in the Weightman award he got just 4 votes and the North West Ag award he picked up 6 votes to be well down the list.
 
I look forward to lining up for a piss and walking the 17 Kms from where my car is parked to get in. In fact I might just give it a miss. Morons running the joint!

Have to agree, had full bus load organised from Bendigo area going for a look at grandfinal.. not anymore

Reasons not to attend:
1) no where to park
2) players get changed in a barn
3) after changing players have nowhere outside to warm up, due to cars being parked in all areas
4) 1 male toilet
5) 2 female toilets
6) no where to view.
7) other options Hopetoun and ouyen have either a hill or grandstand to view from and plenty of parking.
8) play it at sea lake even if they are in it. Best ground for watching footy in country Vic.

WTF were the members of the board who voted 5 to 1 for this thinking?
