It's been said before about Tat... kids go to high school in Shepp have ended up playing for Shepp teams.
And also the huge amount of other options kids have these days... which is not just effecting Tatura Football Club.
Hearing they have strong numbers in U16 and U14... so hopefully they are...
Violet Town are coming from a long way back remember... finished 2nd last with a % of 20. Granted they’ve recruited well but grand final?
Unless of course JD can kick it to himself, then handball to himself then kick the goal on every 2nd play. Then who knows.
The other question is will he play...
Does it make sense? I'm not so sure.
Echuca clearly a rung or 2 above anyone in the GV.
Majority of Bendigo clubs would struggle to make the top 6 in GV (and that includes Broadford 😉)
And coz they 'nearly went there in the juniors' means there must have been some significant reasons not to...
And the fact that clubs can get players to play home games more easily than away games is nothing new. Blokes work the morning in town and can't make the away game, but can home games... nothing mischievous or untoward... it's just the way it is. You start fining clubs for every forfeit, they'll...
And why would Moama go to Bendigo??
The Bendigo league is digging itself into a hole it may never recover from.
Letting Broadford in, and then letting them have a year to get themselves ready, is just the start.
GV isn't going great compared to previous years or eras, but they are well ahead of...
Remember when the addy had the the best footy preview in regional Victoria. It would have comprehensive write ups of local leagues.. with senior, reserves and 3rds line ups.. the occasional best 25 BFL players. Took me all morning (sometimes would carry into Sunday😁) to read.
Ahh the good ole days
Unfortunately times have changed and clubs now recruit for under-age teams... especially if they play in the 'major leagues', and if it is in the same league, clubs are always chasing success and having quality players is the key (obviously 😆)
I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but I'm not sure...
Watched him in a game v Shepp at Deakin, and I dont know if he was carrying an injury (but didnt look it) but if your 6 foot whatever coach is playing on the wing in a close game against the 2nd best team... has to make you wonder? 🤷♂️
They finished 2nd last with 1 win and a percentage of 20.
Lots of new faces hopefully hold them in good stead.
Anyone know how many games JD will be playing?
Why would a team that has been so successful in the GV want to go to a league who's standard of football has fallen so dramatically.
Makes no sense.🤷♂️
Is it though? Maybe the last part.
Going to the local (or AFL) footy doesn't have the draw it once did. I remember when i was younger if i wasnt playing, and i didnt attend a game of footy, it was a wasted weekend (loved having a bye, going to a saturday game then GV would regularly have sunday...
