Wouldn't the Bulldogs love to have this combo back along with the Carters. Might be fair to say that they have one of the best lists that is playing elsewhere!

What ex juniors has your club 'loaned'?

I know we would love to have David Teague, Grant McLarty, Matt & Phil Carroll, Shannon Emmett, Jarrod Maskell, Braden & Dave Pullen, Mick Baxter to name a few back in the Navy Blue and White!
dont forget JAYDEN WILKIE

Re: Piccola District football league

Notice a couple of clearances to Waaia during last week, one from Townsville the other from what appears to be the Geelong footy league, anyone know anything about them ??

Re: Piccola District football league

Did they play on Sat. Pace, did you watch the game on saturday. 8.16 isnt the best kicking from the mathoura boys. Dookie must be travelling along nicely. Living up to all the preseason hype..
Unsure of the new bombers will try to find out, Mathoura appear dissapointing, after all the hype and a good finish to last season. On other hand Dookie appear to be up and going, good coaching effort, not easy when there is a heap of hype and a slow start.

Do not know what the VCFL would be thinking but would almost be certain that it is unlikely, as more than one club in the Riv league you have mentioned ,will cease existance, fold, should they be forced into this type of set-up

Re: Piccola District football league

Have just looked up the maps to see the distances that are likely to be covered by all the PDFL players based in Echuca, to ( 8 ) away games , should the above possibility happen. Keeping in mind quite a few Picola players either work and , or , live in Echuca also.

From Echuca

Mathoura 40 klms
Deni 74 klms
Katunga 83 klms
Berrigan 154 klms
Jerilderie 177 klms
Wahgunyah 184 klms
Oaklands 189 klms
Renni 191 klms
Coleambally 242 klms

For Deni players ( know there is at least one ) to travel to :
8 home games
train twice a week during season only ( no pre season )
all away games
a total of 7976 klms, ave of 498.50 over 16 weeks
to away games and return 2600 klms

For Mathoura blokes , ( would think 75 % of players ) to travel to :
8 home games
train twice a week during season only ( no pre season )
all away games
a total of 5256 klms, ave of 328.50 over 16 weeks
to away games and return 2668 klms

Is hard to expect players to travel these sorts of distances, would doubt very few , if any , AFL clubs would spend as much time travelling to games.

Not a bad bit of homework there Pace! Yes, must take into account where the players come from. Lots of Mathoura guys would either live in Deni or Echuca. Picola United players from Tonny or Echuca.

The question is... is Mathoura more of an Echuca team or a Deni team. If they are a Deni team they should go North, If they are an Echuca team they would be better suited in a Southern League.

Shepp East are not that good!! Sure they are doing pretty well at the moment but as has been stated many times before, a huge amount of $$ are required to hit that next level of MFL.

Re: Piccola District football league

There is no way that Congupna and Shepp East should swap. Congupna are a 5 goal better side then Shepp East at least, they also have a larger amount of coin to spend on players.

Re: Piccola District football league

Are Katandra really a 12 goal better side than Picola or were Picola just particularly bad on the day ?
Picola kicked 5 of their 8 goals late in the last quarter. Struggle in the big man department. Lots of great on ballers but short across all lines.

Was a new guy there, don't know his name, but can really roost the footy!

Re: Piccola District football league

Apparently had 5 or 6 senior players out i reckon they are a better side than Katandra.
Katandra are over rated, Shepp East put them in their place.
Yeah I heard the Kats had 4 or 5 out aswell, sounds like your making excuses like there players did after the game.

I think the correct word is OVER-HATED !!

Re: Piccola District football league

Nearly at the half way point of the season, who are people tipping for the flag and the medals?
I know that our only ever Senior league medallist since 1950 was Harry Brittain, back in the 1950's.

Sounds odd for a club that has won 18 senior premierships in that time!

I would say that at this stage our B&F would be wide open, so probably no Pearce Medal at Kat land.

You're right there, will cost too much, we just cannot afford to go into the Murray League plus we don't want to go into the Murray League

If anyone should its Shepp East. Now I know that its only half way through the year but they are a massive chance to win all 4. They beat Katandra in all 4 grades this year and Katandra are the next best club in the PDFL this year. Shepp East have plenty of money floating around.
