Any news on who is looking good and who is looking bad? How will dunnstown go this year?

I've heard Newlyn are looking really good. Have gone out and spent some decent coin on getting two former Ballarat miners basketball players to the club to play up forward. Pretty ballsy move.
 
WRFL club looking for Practice Matches March 19, and April 2nd. Can host! Under 18/19's, reserves and Seniors. Please message me here if your club is interested. Thanks

Just got wind of Justin Mconnell coaching Ballan, great recruit, and top bloke. He will bring the cattle to put this club into regular finals, that
being said ballan are known to eat there own...
Hope he can remain or Darley will come knocking.

Lets get this thread going, Ballan have had a great pre season, some really good recruits and practice match form has been really good, beat Yarraville/Seddon by nearly 20 goals and they are tipped to finish top 3 in wrfl div 2.

Anyone got some tips for the year ? I feel Ballan will be top 4 and then anything can happen after that.
 
Results went pretty much as expected on the weekend, the only upset/tough game was Bungaree getting over Gordon. Some good games this week with Beaufort playing Springbank and Bungaree taking on Ballan. My tips for this week:
Beaufort v SPRINGBANK - 18 points
BUNGAREE v Ballan - 7 points
BUNINGYONG v Daylesford - 60 points
CRESWICK v Clunes - 50 points
Dunnstown v NEWLYN - 20 points
Cargnham v GORDON - 100 points
HEPBURN v Learmonth - 40 points
Rokewood v WAUBRA - 50 points
SKIPTON v Smythesdale - 40 points

Anybody been watching u/18s?

I went and watched Bungaree V Ballan last week, Bungaree unfurled their Flag from Last year.

Very good game, the ball movement from both sides was quick with minimal mistakes, I think both sides will be top 4. Ballan's third quarter was the difference.
 
Player points can now be seen on sporting pulse. Noticed in Round 3 Springbank used 43 out of 42 points, would this be an error? And if not what is the penalty for exceeding the points?
 
Very well done by Skipton! Great to see they are working hard to climb, hope Middleton can really get the club heading in the right direction.
Looks like the 8 is almost set apart from the 3 teams fighting for 8th spot!
 
Wondering if I'm the only one who thinks league best and fairest awards voted by club umpires should be scrapped. When a kid kicks 136 goals in 15 games and doesn't win I think there is something wrong. For those that don't know what I'm talking about, I'm referring to The U'15 count and Izaac Grant in particular. Admittedly, I have not seen the winner from Bungaree play, and I'm not saying he is no good, but, 37 votes in a team that wins 5 games for the year? He must be Gary Ablett! In fairness, they also had 2 draws so quite comfortable that he could get maximums in those as well. But year after year these junior counts smell rotten. An U'18 winner whose father umpired every match, an U'15 winner who polled votes in a game he didn't play in, an U'15 announced as winner only to have it taken away 5 minutes later, now this. Can't help thinking that Grant, who would have been, IMO, the most deserving winner in the history of the comp, has paid the penalty for the perceived history of shadey tactics of his club in previous counts, with other clubs employing the same.

I certainly think there is still a place for these best and fairests, in Izaac Grants case he was playing in a top side and therefore had other players in his team to take votes off him unlike O'Keefe who was clearly a standout in an average side! The winner that had it taken away was from human error when counting, I'm not sure who you're referring to about father umpiring?
I do agree these awards have issues but I think people understand with volunteers umpiring and an uneven comp it's hard to be perfect!

I understand that Daniel has let the club know already, going to the next level.

The new club is about 40 minutes drive towards melbourne from Ballan.

Was seen recently watching Deer Park & Hoppers Crossing 2nd semi final and taliking to the committe and coach from one of those clubs.
