Murray FL Discussion 2026

["The Roar Is Back"]

When do you expect this to be resolved one way or the other?

Is there a deadline date?

Is there a likely hood the Murray league won’t let them leave as has happened over recent years with clubs around the state wanting to move and being accepted by the destination league?

Due to Picola having no affiliation , it would be a matter solely for Murray and Barooga and would be dependent solely on what is within Murray league rules.
I can’t imagine AFL Vic’s views / wishes would worry Picola .

 

[Test Tickle]

So with Barooga returning to the Picola League, I read that they will return back to their predominantly Yellow jumper, what does that look like?

Yellow with a BFC monogram.

Moama will win the flag

Mitch Lake to East Burwood.

 

[Hawking Hawkeye]

With talk of Echuca/Moama to Bendigo on other forums, and now including Kyabram and Tatura, possibly Rochester. Would we see a combine Murray league and GV league called Goulburn Murray

Shepparton x 4 or 5 (Swans, United, Bears, Congupna) - does Rumba go to KDFL
Mooroopna
Nathalia
Numurkah
Echuca united / Tongala
Cobram
Deni
Finley
Mulwala
Euroa / Seymour / Mansfield / Benalla

Bit of travel between Northern teams (finley) and southern teams, or create 2 divisions (Tat may stay, and possibly the others)

Is it true the 2 Echuca sides have a joint initiative to kick start season 2026

Potential GV grand final preview following the United V Deni game to open both seasons.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Potential GV grand final preview following the United V Deni game to open both seasons.

With the additional traffick , if it is near a normal autumn / winter the United ground will be a mud pit for most of the year .
Will they be as quick to deem it unsuitable to play on as did at vic park last year ?

On the money

Great initiative!, No doubt Echuca v Kyabram will be the GF preview in round 1. That says all we need to know about the current state of football.

Great to see Congupna getting a refurb changerooms well overdue might help attract juniors out of shepp as long as the cheque book dosnt run out for seniors they will be a force for a while yet

Bit of a cheap shot , they played the GF with 30 points.

Congupna are very well placed for a bright future. Lots of growth to the north of Shepparton which has joined Congupna to the city.

Shepp/ Mooroopna , twin towns which have at least twice as much population per club within 30klms , than any other town in the GM Regiion.
Alot gets made of the clubs within a small radius, but when the population size is considered , it’s ( shepp/ Mooroopna ) actually got a gigantic advantage over any other town . The populations age demographic is also favourable , over many towns , especially border towns who have high population percentage which are retirees .

Is it possible that we underestimate how many players drive from Shepp-Moor to clubs beyond 30km away?

Same applies for other towns . Even restricting the radius to 30 klms there are clubs included who are a lot closer to other major towns who therefore naturally draw players from those closer towns like Ky , Nathalia , Numurkah , Tat .
