Umpiring?

No it was the fella Dempsey some 15 years ago now.

The last name doesn't ring a bell. He may have moved away from the area.

He was originally from my area then moved down Warrnambool way and then I think he has since moved on.

Where are you from originally?

Stawell played some footy in the Mininera League with the Pumas long before Great Western were apart of the league.

 

[Wosh]

Thanks Wosh, were you going to play this year? Can I add you to the list?

I’ll be an emergency if you need me, let the new sign ups play

Based on the re-direction it's looking like Hall's Gap is going to be the winner at this stage (have to go with the majority Clarkey as much as I enjoy the little jab at our western neighbours). I'll allow any other additional votes for tonight then submit the venues tomorrow morning. Everyone has at least been tagged and given the opportunity to vote.

Sounds good, Halls Gap oval will need to be scoured for kangaroo shit before I’m stepping foot on it

No kangaroo shit on the Mortlake oval, just pure goat shit

Great memories. Fences like this give me horrid flashbacks to when I broke my femur colliding with one

Didn't break a bone but landed a shin on one once at Brim Oval, and ended up with a bruise that looked exactly like another knee.

Usually a good deck. At least, during my time it was. Brim, middle of ****ing nowhere.

The surface at Mortlake. Mint as heck, for a country ground

But footy is still played there, yeah?

Yes. Terang-Mortlake plays three games a year there and a couple of junior teams play there also

It’s a better ground than Terang to be honest. But they’re the senior partner

I've been to Halls Gap for a camp. Over a decade since then though.
