the beauty of country footy is the connections you make, your not making connections traveling 2+hours for footy.
They’d be better off running a state champions type game in lieu of interleague. Winner of NCFL plays winner of LVFL.
Winner of HDFL plays CMFL. Etc

I always enjoyed the bus trip to hay truck and that was over 3 hours, if you do it a couple of times a year it's okay

IMO if there were ever going to be a large-scale restructure involving Ballarat, Bendigo, Riddell etc it would have been about 5 years ago.
There was some uncertainty around the viability of the Riddell comp following a few departures & there was still some murmurings of a Ballarat bias from the Eastern Bloc clubs.
Things have seemingly improved on both fronts so I struggle to see why either comp would seek to amalgamate, especially Ballarat which I believe would essentially be trading off the Eastern clubs for the Bendigo ones in the scenario put forward.
Any solution needs to be mutually beneficial.

Agree. This all seems like a Bendigo FL issue to me. Apart from LVFNL all other leagues mostly appear pretty happy with how things are managed in their own backyards so why upset how they are going in an attempt to fix a disfunctional Bendigo league? Understanding there will be the odd club struggling but isn’t that then their decision on what to do - merge, change leagues or fold? As said in an earlier post, footy ain’t perfect. Clubs lose, clubs win. You get blow outs. That’s life.
 
I agree, Trent the flight Steward.

Realistically, the LVFNL won't be around in five years so those clubs should all be future planning now, whether it be as part of a merger or else moving leagues. Clubs should be making sure that going forwards, their heritage continues on instead of them just becoming memories (we can name a few of those).

If your suggestion of a re-booted Northern United comes to fruition then that will definitely trigger change on the 'competition landscape' front.

I see the addy is keeping up their average of one article a week for sandhurst ! How about reporting on some other clubs - seriously normally favouritism is at least tried to be hidden

Really bad signs considering it isn’t wet and cold yet.

Assuming the northern crew aren’t playing this week as it isn’t that winnable.

The two sides merging in Maryborough was going to save them all. I don’t think this has been a success - Question is what is being done about it. I think we all know the answer - let them walk the plank nothing to see here. Another example of Bendigo no longer being a major competition

I see the GM role has been advertised. Might be a job share opportunity there for CM and Forest to straighten things up. Could split the $60k salary 50/50, set a desk up at the Camp in the timekeepers box on the wing. Long lunches twice a week at the Railway. Board meetings at the Golden Square hotel. Go rogue and establish a new BFNL based points system and shake up regional footy.

Twice a week? Bit unfair to double their current workload. 😉

But we can hang it on the hub anytime, for now let’s focus on the footy. Perfect day at the Camp, first time we have had anything like a sniff against Square for 20 years. Let’s hope we get a cracking game, looking forward to seeing how the boys respond to a flat result last week.
 
The upsets on half way through the second at Camp Reserve.
 
Think we all underrated K Flat. Suddenly Maines loss doesn't look so bad.
