Here we go, from the above comments things could get a little heated here... surprised to hear of reference to performance enhancing drugs in the upper murray... actually i can't fathom it, definitely not required in a league of the UM's standard (no offence intended), but if you need perf...

Looks like the goat hit a nerve... who's not trying to buy a flag though tiger? and where did that drug testing reference come from? in case you did not realize, walwa had quite a name for itself growing the mary jane, but I don't even see how that is relevant to this forum either...hence no one...

Yeah it's not good but I think if you looked back through the years every club would of commited this dodgey trick of playing guns under dodgey names (some clubs have prob done it more than others)... Has sinclair for feds been in his usual form? has been the form player of the comp for at...

Is there any word getting around about Daniel Bradshaw going back to the dogs? I know there was an article yesterday but wondering if there is any real chance of it? If he could get around on his knee he would be a massive coup for holland's blokes... Good to see albury getting a shake up -...

Good to see there's been some positive signs - when a club needs to rebuild it can take alot of time. Hopefully this approach will lead building the club up long term and getting that winning culture back... sounds as though feds are in red hot form - who's kicking their goals?

HAHA king carey would love to be compared to a UMFL 2's player! Surely the demons 1's are close to knocking up their first win for the year? keep on hearing about the improvement, if the signs have been there surely the points have to come soon? Why's everyone giving pearcey from feds a...

Don't get too caught up in it lads, natural for the 'yong boys to hit back, but it will be another club's go to get a ribbing in a few weeks, we're all big lads and can handle a bit of hear say, just good to see some news (and even passion!) on here. SW I also agree, its good to hear about the...

So you saw the game? Would you say the raiders were bad more so than the the dogs were good, or a combo of both?

Haha cudge has always made it tough for a player to leave... surely if a bloke wants out you'd rather let him go than try and keep him their unwillingly.

Judging by the Border Mail, despite the loss Hollands must of been BOG by mile - still a class above? Who else looked good for the dogs?

Be great to see bullioh get smashed, but will be favorites again...ladder for me Bullioh Federal Cudgewa Corryong Tumba B/W

If this is true looks like Walwa's time to get any silverware has come and gone. It's much harder for these tiny towns far away from Alb/wod to maintain strong teams over a period longer than 2 or 3 years. cash is NOT plentiful. I hope for the club (and moreso the league's) sake walwa can at...

The first year that Mack coached (was it 2002?) was a super impressive side and would have any bullioh premiership side covered. Feds lost to corryong that year and Feds side was extremely strong too. The corryong sides that won in the remaining years were not as strong but would give bullioh...

Yeah interesting one with Mcinness leaving - can never knock a bloke for going to play better footy but not good for demons in their time of need. Need at least 4 players to be competitive, 6 good players to be in contention come finals. Federals will be thereabouts again - could get ash coysh...

Yeah their will always be some tension between the loyal guys who battle for a spot compared to the guy who comes in from out of town and steals their spot unfortunately. These days though, if you want success you need to recruit guns from outside the region, and fingers crossed you don't put...

He's just making note that alot of average 1's players will spend time in 2's with the introduction of new talent - always a good thing, keeps everyone on their toes. At the end of the day, if you're not good enough then bad luck. I don't think he was having a crack at cudge too much? Good on...

Yes i remember this, however not sure it was due entirely to walwa's dominance and clubs not wanting to go there. I remember when walwa were still the power house during mid 90 (i think '95) and the GF was at walwa and corryong went their and pumped them - i think the year before it was cudge vs...

haha all hands on deck ;) I saw Mikal get over 40 possessions in an OM game a few years back as an 18 yr old, and Luke played rep footy this year i think. both have been dominant in leagues which are immensely better than the UM. they would run rings around their opposition.

Your right - they would absolutely dominate if they played at cudge - 50+ possessions each game, but would not lock them into play just yet. I'm sure after a few games they'd get a bit frustrated with the standard in comparison to what they are used. Demon85 - which locals are u referring to...

The biggest push happened in the mid-late 90's when a few league and club administrators realised the league was starting to struggle. When it was proposed, many parents and people who thought they were important at clubs kicked up a stink and couldn't see the sense in it (note that most of...

Some very good points - league is struggling in terms of players and attracting supporters yet they let bullioh get away with that horrible venue. Hard to play there - hard to watch footy there. I remember back in the early and mid 90s massive gf's at corryong and cudge ground were awesome...

Its the worst facility in the comp mate - the oval is about the size of an auskick field and the best viewing is from the back of a ute (honestly!) ... So after a long season its back to bullioh once again - anyone know anyone whispers going into game about either side - feds could have the...

Yep it is tumba - local knowledge that is Tip of the hat to anyone who can give bullioh a shake - sounds as though feds could have the right combo going into the big one

Re: Ovens and Murray Part 3 Hollands would be a great replacement - playing or non-playing? Seeing him play a few years ago, clearly had the best football brain in the ovens and murray - i believe he was injured in alot of his time playing but would ALWAYS hurt the opposition, regardless of...

I agree - seems a bit easy to have shots at the opposition when clubs are really struggling - and while the comments came across as fairly pig-headed and ordinary, I guess he does have the right to say what he wants, especially when they are smashing everyone. But you would wonder what other...

Should have done the old play under a fake name trick! Play under the name of Wayne carey and no one would have noticed! Haha oh well its done now and tumba "the sleeping giants" have even more ground to make up! Has anyone had the pleasure of playing on d cohen from feds yet? he always...

Ummm yes Tiger read my previous post, they did the wrong thing and deserve to be punished, fully agreed. Depending on the circumstances in which it happened, I think there may have been a chance some clubs would have let it go, possibly, just being that it was teenagers making up the numbers...

As the Border Mail reports Tumba has been stripped of points for playing unregistered players - although it may not have been a deliberate effort, you still have face the consequences. The coach didnt seem happy using the old "sheep stations" quote, and I understand that you need as many numbers...

Re: Ovens and Murray Part 3 I think its primarily due to poaching, I don't think there's any problems at the club, are you simply implying with 'heresay'...? Clubs performance has dropped a bit this year but that's expected to have an off year, I'd say they've had a pretty strong decade

Re: Ovens and Murray Part 3 Its got alot to do with the large amount of talent that has been poached from wodonga in recent years from bush clubs as to why the veterans are playing (and yep i know its happening everywhere). Also sometimes it is better to keep the 3rds playing their, if they...
