Well let's face it Ballarat weather in June July August is not great for a day out at the footy so poor crowds will always be an issue. Don't be fooled by the line that crowds are better in the CHFL because it's not necessarily the case. Some clubs get good numbers others get bugger all. Darley...

The BFL has had problems for a while like most other leagues but the killer blow is the re-entry of North Ballarat. How can clubs like Sebastopol compete with a VFL backed club in a country competition? Wouldn't be too many football clubs handling the millions that go through that sports club...

Some very valid points there. I find it odd that the four LPFL clubs would join the CHFL and then try to force changes to supposedly make them more competitive. The CHFL has always been a much stronger league than the Lexton Plains so surely they knew what to expect. It was a poor decision by...

I don't know what your idea of unlucky is but letting the best player in the competition run unchecked and rack up a lazy 50+ possessions in the grand final has nothing to do with luck it is poor coaching pure and simple.

I would have thought it would warrant a medal too. Best on ground by a mile.

Clearly the best ruckman in the Ballarat league and has been for some time. Good to see him win a B&F after being maligned unfairly in the past.

Incorrect. Any field umpire can signal the end of the game or quarter, just as any umpire can pay a free kick at any time during the game. It doesn't have to be the 'controlling' umpire. Therefore, not only was the 'FAIR' decision made, but also the 'CORRECT' one. Good luck next week.

Beaufort v BUNINYONG. 10 points. Beaufort to give a good contest at home but won't be good enough to win. DAYLESFORD v Clunes. Dogs too strong at home in Adams brothers milestone game. 8 goals. Dunnstown v HEPBURN. Will be cold and miserable out there and while Dunnstown have a good record...

Tips for today. Springbank 80 pts Beaufort 50 pts Newlyn 40 pts Daylesford 35 pts Waubra 25 pts Hepburn 60 pts Skipton 6 pts Rokewood 50 pts Buninyong 120 pts

Just finished wiping the egg off! Rumours of Waubras death are grossly exaggerated. Buninyong are a force to be reckoned with. Big, strong, quick and powerful across every line, and the added bonus of depth makes them serious contenders in 2012 I believe. Although the competition will get...

Big ask to come back from an achilles tear in quick time. Rush it & he'll snap it & if he does make it back this year he will most likely have fitness issues. Good luck to him though, he is vital to Beauforts chances. Rd 2 tips Ballan by 5 goals. Jury still out on the Blues but should...

What happened after 1/2 time terrier? I saw the first 2 quarters of this game and after dominating the 2nd term I thought Ballan would have taken the chocolates. Williams was very good and as you would expect, his class was evident. Interesting to see Zac Peoples back in Ballan colours - is...

Have they got some good looking netballers out there or something?? Or a gold mine? If what you say is true, however they are doing it, they are doing a great job. Players like that bring a lot more to a club than just playing ability, especially to a young list. Also reported in the paper...

Poor form mate. Couldn't you get a game out there or something? Your constant sniping is getting pretty tired. Great get. Both for the club and the competition. Well done Ballan.

Clifton Springs and Drysdale are so close together they would be considered pretty much the same town surely?

Hepburn, Waubra top 2 in both leagues for mine and I'd stick Daylesford above BPH and East as well. But we'll never know and like yours its just an opinion so we can agree to disagree. Clunes have improved, will probably miss the finals but have definately been a more competitive outfit. As...

Re: Central Highlands Part 3 Quote: Originally Posted by Scoobiesnack Owen Lewis.. I've played against this guy. Not on him directly but have seen first hand how he can tear it up. Slowly but surely at his size haha. Don't worry about him kicking 75, this bloke will kick 100 with ease in...

I don't want to be critical because it is a hard task picking a side like this and you are right that it's a strong side, but, it seems that you have picked it on past reputation as much as recent form. Dorward Pitt and Nesbitt to name 3 and Sheppard Andrews and James have played 1 game for the...

A fine and brave leader of men both on and off the field apparently? I would have thought he would be best remembered for costing his club a premiership rather than credible leadership. If he is a club leader God help Darley. Maybe we can hear from Chieftont, Darley Rat, Perspicuous1 to defend...

Boyd a very good coach of young players, seems to be able to get the best out of them. Don't think he's had a senior gig before though, has been an assistant at pretty high levels but he may be in for a tough initiation given the circumstances. Pity, because he one of footy's nice guys.

Could be about to turn over a whole lot more too if the noises doing the rounds are true. Possibly facing a mass exodus of players with a struggling Ballarat club set to be the benefactor. The sharks are circling!

Nobody would fit in Balraj's category, just making the point that blokes trying to break contracts seems to be getting more prevelant. If APW are happy to do a deal then fine. But they also have every right to hold their ground and enforce the contract if thats the way they want to go.

Kilmore should try their luck at appeal then. Unless he is moving to another part of the state and distance becomes an issue, the VCFL will rule in favour of the club holding the contract - in this case APW. And thats the way it should be. If a bloke signs a contract and then gets a better offer...

Well you must be Owen Lewis. Saw him against Centrals and Bannockburn and didn't get near it. They were 2 of the top 5 sides. Saw him against Anakie and he kicked 13 or something - definitely not a top side! So I stand by what I said. He will most likely monster undermanned undersized opposition...

If he kicks 70 goals 65 of them will come against the bottom 8 teams. Any side with a decent fullback will have no trouble at all keeping him scoreless. Just because he can eat a pie in 1 bite does not make him a good full forward.

Have to wait another week to fix the ex missus up then?

Round 21 of a 16 round season? So which game was played at Eureka stadium mate? There was 4 VFL games on the weekend 2 at Port and 2 at Box Hill. Stop talking shit.

Re: Ballarat Football League 2009 (part 2) Dead right. I can't believe that people are questioning why players are not playing for Bacchus Marsh (after they have already played a game mid week) so they are prepared for a school grand final ON THE MCG where EVERY AFL CLUB WILL HAVE TALENT...

You are probably right Merrigan but doesn’t the VCFL have an obligation to at least try to ensure the survival of all existing clubs under its banner? My understanding is that Ararat Eagles will fold if forced to remain in the LPFL and Natte are also finding the going tough. Should they just let...
