What teams were in the original or (close to original) PDFL ??
The original? :D :D :D

Timeline :
1905 (Picola & DFA) :
The Picola & DFA was formed.
Participating clubs were (complete) :
- Barmah Federals,
- Kotupna,
- Lower Moira,
- Picola and
- Nathalia.
Barmah Federals were premiers.

1906 (Picola & DFA) :
Participating clubs were (complete) :
- Barmah Federals,
- Kotupna,
- Moira Ramblers,
- Picola and
- Nathalia Juniors.
Picola were premiers.

1907 (Picola & DFA) :
Participating clubs were (complete, in final ladder order) :
1. Picola,
2. Nathalia,
3. Nathalia Imperial,
4. Barmah Federals,
5. Lower Moira and
6. Kotupna.
Picola were premiers.


But your probably mean this :
1934 (Picola & DFA) :
This new reappearance of the Picola & DFA is basically a follow on from the final season of the Western & Moira Ridings FA.
Participating clubs were (complete, in ladder order after H&As) :
1. Barmah (premiers),
2. Picola,
3. Yalca North,
4. Kotupna,
5. Moira and
6. Nathalia Juniors (changed name to Nathalia Second 18 next season).

Which until recently was more like this :
2000 (Picola & DFL) :
Participating clubs were (complete) :
- Blighty,
- Deniliquin Rovers,
- Katamatite,
- Katandra,
- Katunga,
- Mathoura,
- Picola United,
- Strathmerton,
- Tungamah,

Re: Piccola District football league

Agree with getting old Tungamah league up and running with Tungamah, Katandra, Dookie Utd, Shepp East, Tallygaroopna, Katty, Congupna, Benalla All Blacks, Violet Town but leave the PDFL as is after that no CDFL teams and reckon most PDFL teams would be very happy. Maybe Cobram if they dont improve could enter the 'old Tungamah league' but might have to much cash.

This one doesnt sound to bad then. That means it would be the original PDFL plus berrigan and the old tungamah league. Both would be of a pretty good standed. Only problem being the CDFL teams. Should this be the PDFL problem ?? No (being selfish of course)

Yeah as you know BALLS I traveled back up to see the boys play, and I know the person your talking about!

I played basketball with the big fella tonight, he just said he was happy to get through half a game coming back from injury.I'll give you the hot tip he's alot better player at footy than basketball thats for sure.

I think he is really keen for this week too, maybe wilson and blacky might sneak him on again this week if they can. I may have to come up and watch this weekends game again, set up to be an absolute cracker.

Anything happening at the club rooms this week BALLS?
Casino night mate.Could be a quiet one! Chops has his 40th on aswell.Good chance I will spot you out at the pub after that and see you burrning a hole in the dance floor. Haha :D

Re: Piccola District football league

Too hard to split and keep everyone happy. If we have an 18 team comp that means that some clubs are going to have to wait a very long time to taste any success. Saying 'We finished 12 this year' what does that mean in an 18 team comp?

I don't like it. 9 or 10 teams per comp is the way to go. But again very very hard to split. I have tried a number of times to find something that works but it always gets guys noses out of joint. The fact is changes are going to happen in 2008.

Lets reincarnate the TFL. Katandra, Shepp East, Dookie, Tungamah, Katamatite are the five TFL teams in the PDFL. Take on board Violet Town again, Benalla All Blacks... there is 7. Pull in Tally as well there is 8. And find out if Congupna is enjoying spending the big bucks... they might like to join as well. There is a 9 team comp. Leaves the PDFL with 10 plus the CDFL teams. Who knows some of the PDFL teams might like in as well!!
I for one (among others) have raised the idea before of having a 2 or 3 tier MFL league comprising of approx 30 clubs i:e 3 leagues of 10 or 2 of 15 with the promotion relegation system OR just the 20 or so proposed PDFL clubs in a 2 tier situation. The extended travel to some of the NSW clubs would not be avoided however I believe that people / clubs would be happier to travel if the leagues were a little more competitve by using the 2 tier system rather than going 2-3 hours away to get pumped.

Tips:

Dookie, they need to kick around scoullar.
Berrigan to be a struggling Tungamah
Picola to bounce back in a tight one
Waaia easily
Shepp East by 10 goals
Katty by 5 goals
Deni by 6-7 goals.

Can any one inform me of how the NSW grounds are looking??

Green or ashfelt ??
Berrigans ground is in immaculate condition as I am sure everyone who has played us would agree with, green all over and when it was raining all last week, on the saturday it held the water so well that players in the seniors game were able to bounce the ball.

I think you make a very valid point there intimidator, People who live in the country are used to travelling for everything. Travelling to get pumped is no-one's idea of fun tho, and if the Leagues are kept competitive thru a promotion/relegation system, I think the travel will be less of a problem.

If an 18 team league is made, it should be seperated into two tiers. Two nine team comps. You're right you don't mind travelling for a good game. Two leagues with 9 teams. In 18 rounds you will play everyone in your div twice. Gives struggling teams a real chance to make finals. Gives good games all round.

Need lots of thought and discussion. Would it be top 9 from 2007 ladder in div 1 and the bottom 6 and the 3 CDFL teams in div 2? Big incentive to get in top 9!

The two divisions could work but would take a couple of years to work itself out. Who goes where ? Examples of this are Deni and Dookie this year. Both sides would of been in div 2 this year, with mathoura and blighty in div 1. is that fair ? Unsure. Right on with the travelling. Would rather travel and have a good game than pop down the road and either get flogged or flog a struggling side.
What about an 18 team league split into the two smaller 9 team leagues. Both have a final 4. Come finals time combined the two final 4's and have a cross over final series. You would still play everyone in your smaller league twice. It would make for a longer final series but have a bit of an interleague feeling as you might be playing sides you havent seen or know little about. Bit different but could work. COmments ??

Re: Piccola District football league

I just wish the VCFL would leave the comp as is!!!!!!!!!! The Coreen league isnt even a part of the VCFL, Im pretty sure it's AFL/NSW I could be wrong? Any news when the final decison is made? I heard it was going to be in July or late June?

latest roumor is that it will be an 18 team comp. I don't think they are going to keep everyone happy no matter what they do but with a little thought they should be able to keep most happy.

Must be the same rumor as i have heard magic. 18 team comp with a final 8. As i have mentioned before in earlier posts it could work, but wouldnt be ideal. It would be a great bus trip from Colly to shep east or dookie.

How many cans do you reckon you could sink in the trip home from Colly. Jerilderie Pub, Finley Pub, Toc Pub, Katty Pub. I think you could make a big mess of yourself!!! :eek: Pissed!

Re: Piccola District football league

Can anyone tell me how Josh Bode is traelling? Super footballer, must be doing something right with Deni
From what I seen of him, he would easy be in the top 3 ruckmen in the league. Massive leap and very good around the ground. And with his team 5 & Zip I'd say he's doing good things up @ Deni.
