Districts not krushers bedders - as in districts were the oakleigh team in the federal league. Decent side they had back then!

Oakleigh Districts were a big club for sure, now in Eastern League Div 3 or 4

 

[Blood Stained Angels]

Districts were in Dandy rd , the other one wore the present Krushers jumper

Krushers were never in Federal !!!!

What was the reasoning behind their move to the Eastern? They are in no one’s language an Eastern suburban football club. They may have aswell stuck it out in SFNL division 2.

They wanted to field junior teams. SMJFL would not admit them because Oakleigh Dragons Junior FC opposed it on the grounds it would cannibalise them.

Their other option was the EFNL. They said yes, but you’re bringing your seniors over as well. The EFNL is hellbent in getting senior clubs in.

AFL Vic were barely a functioning entity at the time and just waved it all through.

Yeh that’s a fair point too!

Yeh only old boys teams can survive in VAFA, here’s who the southern should target to get in and roughly the Divisions I think they’d fit well initially
Oakleigh Krushers D2
Oakleigh Districts D3
Parkdale D1
Hampton Rovers D1
Ormond D2
Beaumaris D1
Noble Park D1
Elsternwick D3
Glen Eira D2
Chadstone D4
Prahran D2

Need a few more sponsors and a couple of volunteers to run bars but really the crowds are much much bigger at southern and it would quickly add up.
I don’t think teams like Beaumaris or Hampton would struggle to raise much Money and with their junior programs I think they’d be right up the top of D1 pretty quickly

Out north a few district clubs ( inc my club ivanhoe ) gave up on the VAFA and it’s ridiculous archaic rules that only cripple district sides and all are thriving in the NFNL.
As grand as Ormonds history in the ammos is, I reckon it’s time they moved away and would thrive in the Southern.

Im just trying to clarify , there was another Oakleigh team , the ground i think was where the soccer pitches are east of the railway line

And Dragons played games at Dandy rd , feral kids

A little bit of mayo on this.

Oakleigh Krushers as well

What is now the Krushers was a merger of Sacred Heart and Emmanual. Played in the ESCFL, not the Federal.

Correct. What is now the Krushers was a merger of Oakleigh Sacred Heart and Emmanual. Both played in the churches league and the OSH home ground was a glorified goat track with appalling facilities near Huntingdale RWS. Made sense that the new entity would play out of Scammel. The juniors are a different club all together (OYC Dragons) but have logical alignment due to sharing a home ground.

Thank you for that and wasn't it the same jumper as Krushers now

[Big Unit 30]

Enlighten me ?

 

[BillytheLid]

From memory Sacred Heart wore a Port Melbourne strip. Emmanual wore North Melbourne.

The mighty Narre Warren is close to relegation

Aging well!

 

[Wild Thing]

Aging well!

Almost as good as Puppet prediction that Springy vs All Stars in the GF.

Talk me through the game. The All Stars have really fallen off the cliff!

 

[hansie]

Not quite mate! As someone else said Emmanuel wore north jumpers and sacred heart were essentially reverse Melbourne - red with a blue V. Think they may have been port jumpers when oakleigh ycw.
My uncle played for sacred heart then had a car accident leaving him with acquired brain injury and an innate ability to make comments without filter and he remains miffed to this day his beloved devils merged with the ‘pagan pricks’ of Emmanuel.

Source? Me and the old man both played at districts and my mother is an oakleigh girl…

 

[benbrown]

Had a look down at Narre today,Narre pressure was the difference in the game,Reid hobbled off late in last,looked like a hammy but I was a fair way away

 

[chumbawumba]

Agi

Aging well!

Aging well what do you mean They are still 10 points of bottom placed

Wasn't there today, was at End Hills vs H.P.
With more blokes coming back from injury and a few of the 19's boys that are quality that now have 5 or so games in them, i was quietly confident today. Fox Rd a bigger ground and compared to Hurlinghham Park, the ball doesn't get in deep as quick. Which Ben Reid took advantage of in Round 2
