Also heard 2004 Bowen runner up Linton Kemp might be returning to Kilmore and bringing a couple up from Wallan, aswell as 2002 joint Bowen medallist Robbie Wittmer who is due to return from the UK - but being only September we have 6 months to wait and see what all this hear say brings to 2007, but having been glad to be done with 2006, there is something bout grand final day that makes me wish it was already March 2007!!!

Doona2 said:What a **** . . . . Mt. Pleasant would run rings around Riddell, and the HDFL as a whole is a better standard than the RDFL.
I followe the KDFL and that is about the same standard as RDFL footy.
matt_nicholls said:Doona most of the time you're on the money, but this time I would have to disagree. If Riddell played Mount Pleasant ten times, the Bombers would win eight of those matches. If Romsey played Heathcote they would win. If Lancefield played North Bendigo they would win. Only Rockbank couldn't beat a side from the HDFL.

I think the Heathcote League is of a good standard, but I think the Riddell League is better. One qualm I had with that report is that it ranked the Bendigo FL above the Ballarat FL. I know Gisborne would probably win the Ballarat League if they were in it, but the other clubs are much more competitive than Bendigo's, who boast clubs such as Kyneton, Maryborough, Kangaroo Flat etc.
Kings Army said:Bacchus Marsh and Melton South this year were as bad as Kyneton and Maryborough.
matt_nicholls said:I would argue that there is more hope of Bacchus Marsh and Melton South getting back up there than there is of Kyneton and Maryborough. I hear that Kangaroo Flat might have a few handy recruits up their sleeeves.
I think the Ballarat FL as a whole is better than the Bendigo FL, and that East Point, Sunbury and Redan would be much better competition for Gisborne, who at times appeared to be a little bored on the field, even against top-five clubs.
Kings Army said:Maryborough won 6 and Kyneton 5 games for the year - the Marsh won 1, South 3 and Sebastapol 4.
Golden Sqaure defeated Gisborne twice this year and South Bendigo deafeted them once. They have good competition.
