Not much publicity for the round robin competition a few RDFL sides are playing in this weekend. Details i've got are sketchy. I've heard Rockbank, Diggers and Melton Centrals along with a few Ballarat sides participating as well. Not sure of the time or venue either.

Anyone got more details? would be good to get along and watch.
 
it is a round robin comp, all sides mentioned above are playing in it. It is initially meant to be played at souths ground but i also heard the rumour that it will be changed. Teams might actually be 18. Ill let you know... I do know that the bloods might be a little worried about playing against us, just like when we played south a few years ago and we knocked them off :thumbsu:

FYI all As posted on RDFL website.

In response of the recent bushfires, Melton Council, Diggers Rest FC, Melton Centrals FC, Melton South FNC, Rockbank Football Club along with event partners and organisers the RDFL, will be hosting the Inaugural Melton Council Cup, on Saturday 21st of March at Blackwood drive, Melton. All proceeds going towards the Wandong JFC.

Wandong JFC, established in 2008, suffered the devastating loss of losing the use of their footy ground. The rooms are still standing but the ground is severely damaged.

Over 200 homes were lost in the area; we want to ensure the kids still have their footy club in 2009.

The 4 team round robin event will see a modified format to ensure fast action packed contest. With 12 a side, 4 Backs, 4 Mids and 4 forwards, the games are tipped to be an open fast paced game. The games will be 2 x 15 minute halves, with the top two teams playing off in the grand final for the Inaugural Melton Council Cup.

There will be plenty of food and drinks so come along and help support this great initiative.

From memory Lancefield, Woodend, Macedon, Riddell, Romsey, Wallan. Live in Kilmore and see Broadford's a couple of times a week. Geez that ground at Macedon is a great size aint it - although would it be fair to say that outer wing is a no-go zone? Do many opposition sides get lost out there?

All grounds obvioulsy are pretty dry - although Romsey was the pick for me, Riddell seemed green enough compared to others.

Word out of Allens is that the coach of Broadford is very, very upbeat about his sides chances this year.:D You sneaking over to Lancefield this weekend Doona?

Half right, if we miss the finals Im dead in the water, but as for licking teh sugared lollies that role is kept for one man only and you're fully aware he hails from Heathcote :D

Anything less than finals this year for the Boys from Broady will be a waste! :thumbsu:
 
Jesse Sheppard is a young rising star and will have a good year of footy! not for his skills but because the opposition will not touch him because of his sexuality. gets most of the ball after the game in the rooms/shower. generaly recieves more than just 3 votes.

Thanks to Kev Fitz & his boys from Lancefield for the hit-out against Heathcote yesterday. Ground was in super condition and a reminder as to why the GF is played there. Very hot conditions and the game was played in good spirit. I'd expect the tigers to be top 5 in '09.....

Too true Mockery. Ground looked great....Tigers were quite impressive but it is too early to say top five!

Heathcote good-given they had a number of one's players out. Good all round effort. Like the look of some of their new signings.

Went for a drive over to Lancefield on sat, 2 pretty impressice country teams. Heathcote will be thereabouts again particularly if a few were still missing but more importantly Lancefield will be hard to beat this year in RDFL. New recruits Irwin & Ruffell looked good, Dorman missing but otherwise close to full strength. Overheard some mebers of their coaching staff saying they expected to finish top 3. Probaly ahead of other 2 teams ive been watching over summer, Hawks & cats.

Unfortunatley the cricket pitch was still not covered and council would not permit it, due to liability, Pitch should hopefully be covered this week

But the Lakers were told on the Thursday night that the Sunbury ground could not be used. They then got in contact with their council and had their pitch covered and goal posts put in on the Friday. They then could not get a response to see if the game was still on at their ground so they ended up having to play an intra club match.
