Yeh im not stating that it was a fact or anything .. as far as i could remember them always consistently finishing top 3 every year a few years back before and the year they left only heard off one source is they wanted a new challenge.

Didnt dominate, got out when others club were contemplating the same. Wouldnt be surprised if they look to re-enter as early as 2008.

patchy game. diggers came to play and showed they have worked hard over summer and kicked the first 6 sausages.
after that it was a game of few highlights and the final margin was about 45 points. quite even after quarter time.
burra fielded a pretty strong side probably only missing chewy and matty walker from best 22. speaking to al after game who said heethcote were disappointing but had half a dozen to come in including a bloke (can't remember his name but played at kyneton) who kicked 100+ for them last year. diggers moved the ball well though

Have you heard something doona bout wallan re-entering or is it just a gut feeling. How did Cornish and Kemp go yesterday for kilmore?
Know nothing but to me it's common sense to head back, the difference in league fees alone wouldnt be as demanding prior to budgets on the playing list. Would be good for the RDFL too I reckon.
Didnt see the entire game and cant say I noticed Dave if he played (no offence Dave) but Linton was his usual self floating across half back.
Wallan left when the league was stuggling to recover from the departure of all the big clubs. I believe there is mixed feelings with some clubs about welcoming them back with open arms. (if it was ever to happen) But yes your right it would be good for the RDFL
Mixed feelings shouldnt cum into it, whats in the past should stay there. It should be about whats best for ya comp and I reckon with the work Sharpey has done in getting the RDFL back up and running and the way the new bloke seems set on carrying it on then it wouldnt be a bad thing
i would love to see Wallan back in RDFL, the best contests I have been involved in were between Kilmore and Wallan, and would def be good for the clubs to have those bumper crowd sundays again! would probably also mean a 20 week season with 11 teams competing.....

Good player, has trouble some times because because his head seems to weigh him down and cause a lack of balance.

your either talking about Warren Else or David Patterson, both have abnormally large craniums.
i think thats the league to be a lot stronger needs an interleague game
been talked about before by people on here on like queens birthday weekend thursday night
say they could train the two wednesdays before it. play it at a ground with good lights. start about 6.30. if a club opened up its club social rooms they could make a good dollar. get say 100 odd people from another league there. people there from every club. good quality game
worth thought i think
My dream team RDFL clubs:
Romsey
Lancefield
Kilmore
Riddell
Woodend
Macedon
Sunbury Kangaroos
Diggers Rest
Melton Central
Rockbank
Trentham
Wallan
Although Trentham are no good, they should return to the RDFL. It will only help the club bounce back and help recruit players. No one from Melbourne will play in the MCDFL but will play in the RDFL.
Rockbank may always be uncompetitive, but they are good to have in the competition, that area will only grow, which should see more players head to the Rams.
Wallan should be welcomed back with open arms to the league, and I'm sure after two or three eyars they would be serious contenders. It's the fastest growing town out of Melbourne.

Big problem with these games is the risk of injury, would your club let your best 4 players take the risk, this is the reason why afl scrapped state of origin.
I think it is a great idea myself, no point picking the team of the year if they cant play anyone. It also rewards the players.
Another big problem is Competition, who do you play? plenty of comps out there but do they want to play interleague, no point playing a comp that we will smash or who will smash us, Do they already have a league they play? Can the league afford to play, always costs involved.
The interleague was abandoned for a couple of these reasons, but i think now this comp is in a position to try it again.
Players that have played at the highest level could be ineligable
Possible opponents.

Might be dreaming but what about : What about two divisions
Same as it used to be with promotion relegation system and an enforced salary cap, only then could we seriously consider interleague again.

Any one looking for something to do tomorrow night if you're in the Seymour area a reminder that we (Broadford) are having a practice match against Sunbury Kangaroos at Kings Park.
Game will kick off at 7.45 with the SFNC having their bar in operation.
Like Sunbury we'll have a few missing but really looking forward to the hit out and see how we go against one of he sides I hear will be right in the finals mix in 2007. Thanks to Al Meldrum our boys will be wearing Heathcote FC jumpers to avoid a jumper clash
Thanks again to Gavin and his club for accepting our invitation, maybe there are some seats on the bus if anyone's interested, maybe one of the Sunbury guys can post details.

Dont think we are using the bus this week...
Should be an excellent hitout for both sides leading into the season
