Bendigo FL discussion 2025

I was about to make the same comment Trent. Derrick Filo, Ron Best & Peter Moroni are all time Bendigo Football greats. Just magnificent players who, if they wanted to, could have played at the highest level.

They also played over 1,000 games between them and in that time not one of them would have thrown a punch or done anything untoward on the field.

Dekka is the prototypical AFL midfielder now
 
Without doubt would have been highly paid. While acknowledging his coaching record he undoubtably was fortunate that the sides which won flags were stacked with some of the best talent that money could buy. Boorts 81/82 side remains possibly one of the best teams assembled in country vic.
Can anyone list the full 1982 Boort premiership line-up?

Does this help?


Funny thing is, a W/N team full of locals pulled the same Boort team’s pants down in 1981. And there wouldn’t have been too many VCFL sides across the state that could’ve beaten Boort that year.

Ahhh, the glory days of the VCFL. Bring it back please!
 
this is not the north central site
No it is not ST, but the comments are part of a discussion about Tony Southcombe and his entire football career. He did play at Boort for two years hence the above interest in their 1982 premiership. However the vast majority of Tony's football career was at Golden Square where he played over 200 games and then where he finished with three premierships at Northern United of which Tony coached two. It is fair enough that they are on this forum.
 
Most of you won't remember this guy but in the 1970's he made an already very strong Golden Square team almost invincible.

As someone that does remember Tony, what I found interesting in watching this interview, (which was really well done), is that he almost coached South Bendigo.

It would be good to see more of this sort of stuff.
I think you will see 4-5 more in the next few months. From all reports the next one will be a pearler....

i actually enjoy reading about all your respective comps and eras in the bush.
better than some of the personal stuff or the broadford thats becoming tiring after originally being more an amusement peace than ever being factual surely.
happy to view any more videos that may be posted if it doesnt upset others.

Because they’ve been sold a lemon and aren’t smart enough to realise it

There’s footballs getting around with more brains than are evident at HQ.

Had a chat with someone this morning who felt the hub cops a hard deal from most supporters and can’t win no matter what they do.

I’m always open to challenge an opinion so we objectively tried to list all the positive influences they have had on footy in the region.

After a long discussion we came up with videoing the games and the stats packages but then we disqualified that because it’s just the clubs paying for a service, and the introduction of a women’s league but again we had to balance that with how much of a mess they have made of it.

I’d love to hear what other posters can come up with.
