Thanks Doona, yes I reckon it would have been a hard call mate and from what I hear a few more clubs might have to make the same decision. If you think any of the Kilmore U18's would be willing to make the trip to Romsey they are more then welcome to give me call to discuss it, would hate for any YP to miss out, if they stop playing for a season at this age can be bloody hard to get them to come back with all the other distractions out there for them.

You are correct with Heidelberg but I think you will find bundoora have two 19s teams , one plays out of yarrambat starting from this year !!!
Gday Peter O, I was informed that Pupo had the numbers for two under 18 sides & wanted to field both but may have hit a snag, might be worth giving them a call if they are going to have kids missing out on a game of footy.

I have a mate who is the coach of an NFL div 3 under 19 side and he and the club are two weeks away from pulling the under 19 out for the season as they have only been able to get 9 players so far and he was saying that there might only be 1 out 7 NFL div 3 sides with unders this year ,i have also heard quite a few callers on 1116 sen asking for under 18/19 players across all competitions, this has to be a concern to all competitions. People i have spoken to all shake their heads and have no answers as too why the boys are dropping off at this level. but if this trend continues than where are we going to get senior players from in the numbers required to keep both senior and reserve levels going in a few years time.
How are the thirds looking Sean J? Any chance of a Lancefield/Romsey combined side?

Sorry PeterO massive typo sorry, meant to say 2013. Kilmore will be right this year for numbers and will field a 3rds team
Oops! that could have put the cat amongst the pigeons, glad to hear they can field an U18 team in 2014. Were pretty confident we can too, just be nice to have a full team at training each night, as always as the 1st round quickly approaches there will be few boys come out of where they hide and want to play.
Just watched first half of Melton Centrals v Manor Lakes game under lights .Was a very scrappy game and only a few points between the 2 sides at half time

Decided it was in the best interest of everyone (so I thought) to not seek a 3rd year at Kilmore, had agreed to an assistant role at another RDFL club before the coach got the lemonade and sarss a week after I had told Kilmore. How's my timing ha ha!!!
Pretty much thought "stuff footy clubs" after that, so will cruise around for the first time in a long long time and just enjoy watching, enjoying a few beers and who knows might give a bit of lip over the fence

Would think you would be a chance of a big win this saturday after umpiring the kilmore vs craigieburn game. The brothers that played at Kilmore a few years back look like their best players.

I'm sure Craigieburn like all sides at this time of year had a number of players out. They have recruited strongly this year and have added 3 or 4 that would fit easily in the best 10-15 in the RDFL. Guys like Nolan and Davies are serious players who are proven at EDFL A grade level. McErlain and others are real quality too.
Would say its a tad silly to be writing them off after a 10 goal win in a practice match.

Not too sure cburn had ten players out but both sides def had a few missing , I think you will find it will be a lot closer than a 15 goal margin.
Kilmore take on yea this weekend hopefully we can take another step forward with a couple boys back for this weekend

If your not linked to a club this year Doona, you should join us. We could get Omni down, maybe Mongrel and Sunba97 could slot in for an U/18 game. One big bigfooty umpiring panel.
