Saw most of the Marsh - Darley derby yesty,
Darley kicked out to a 4-5 goal lead a couple times but Bacchus just wouldn’t go away & pegged them back. Had some momentum late in the third & early in the last to get back within a couple goals.
I thought Marsh creamed Darley out the middle in the 2nd half with Goetz dominating the hit outs. Bacchus had to scrap so hard for their goals whilst Darley could go coast to coast & score with relative ease.
Cobras got some great kids like Huxtable, Nixon, Penny, Mckercher , then a handful of older guys with Tyson, LaFranchi, Owen & Armfield, but probably not enough in the 24-28 age bracket at the moment.
Darley probably holding back abit, where as Cobras saw it as their big game to finish off 2024.
Crowd was a far cry from the golden 2016-2018 period, unfortunately looks like supporters of both clubs have dropped off.
It was the Cobras Grand Final and Darley just going thru the motions. Umpires tried their best to keep the scores close alsoSaw most of the Marsh - Darley derby yesty,

I moved to the area in 2019 and live close to the Maddingley ground. Thought there was huge crowd there myself, train station car park was packed ... what were the crowds like back then?Saw most of the Marsh - Darley derby yesty,

Crowds used to be much bigger than Saturday just gone. Thru 2016 to about 2018 when both teams were very good it was a great atmosphere. Marsh have a big following when they are competitiveI moved to the area in 2019 and live close to the Maddingley ground. Thought there was huge crowd there myself, train station car park was packed ... what were the crowds like back then?
Not a surprise. They’ve been the 6th ranked team since about round 3Is Ballarat taking 6th a surprise to many? Reading the results they seem to have taken care of the sides under them pretty easily for the most part
The derbies in 2017/18 were as big as any in metro/country footy. I knew of people who dropped their cars off inside the ground the night before. Both sides had some controversial characters aswell, which helped peak interest.I moved to the area in 2019 and live close to the Maddingley ground.

I tend to agree, although Melton still need to win to get a final at Darley instead of travelling to Ballarat. Be interesting to see who they both rest.Melton v Darley this weekend will be a dull affair.
Melton still need to win to have the final played outside of Ballarat don’t they? Saying that though, both teams could rest a few and have a bruise free game and Melton could still win easilyMelton v Darley this weekend will be a dull affair.
How many of their players will go down for a crack. Polkinghorne definitely up to it.Who's coaching north next year? You'd think they'd go for someone similar to macca
Anybody else think Maple is exactly the type of coach North would looking for to replace McCartney?McCartney appointed coach of Port Melbourne
Overwhelming to move to Riddell.Anyone know the outcome from Melton South’s special agm tonight?
How does it work from here. Do BFNL clubs have to vote to allow the move, and likewise RDFL have to vote them in?Overwhelming to move to Riddell.
wonder what efect it will have on the current rdfl club from melton. either way something had to change as its been obvious from afar that its been quite a challeneg out there for a long while now.RDFNL clubs need to vote. If the vote is yes then the BFL clubs need to either endorse or reject the club's transfer.
BFNL league would like South to stay but won’t stand in there way if the Riddell vote them in. Makes sense overall to move.RDFNL clubs need to vote. If the vote is yes then the BFNL clubs need to either endorse or reject the club's transfer.
if the ridiculous talk of the broadford thing actualy gets through which in turn sounds like it may see gisborne seek an imediate move then its a win win for everyone. south gets a more suitable comp and gisborne in a stronger comp too with ability to have some big gates against some closer oposition.BFNL league would like South to stay but won’t stand in there way if the Riddell vote them in.

Ideally, South would stay, find new people to oversee recruitment & Gisborne comes across, ridding the comp of the bye.if the ridiculous talk of the broadford thing actualy gets through which in turn sounds like it may see gisborne seek an imediate move then its a win win for everyone. south gets a more suitable comp and gisborne in a stronger comp too with ability to have some big gates against some closer oposition.
He's got strong credentials & is regarded as a quality development coach.Anybody else think Maple is exactly the type of coach North would looking for to replace McCartney?
Not everyone has facilities and cash like your mob BJ. Plus the amount of juniors available. It’s just the way it is unfortunately, they had to move.Ideally, South would stay, find new people to oversee recruitment & Gisborne comes across, ridding the comp of the bye.
South departing has the result though so, good luck to them.
