Only just thawed out.

First time at a CHFL grand final since 2004. Northern Oval was better when you could back the work ute up the fence and sit in a camp chair, rather than freezing your nads off in a soulless grandstand.
Using the food outlets rather than the North Canteen was also an issue. There was no chat available with the volunteers from Beaufort so my chips came with gravy & cheese. I therefore couldn’t place them in my chips & gravy ranking system. Gravy was of a good quality & quantity, would have been top 10 without the cheese.

Did hear some grumbling that now Buninyong, Learmonth & Bungaree are quality grounds, it should be time to take the Grand Final back to CHFL venues.

You are not wrong about only just thawing out conditions were horrible. Left mid second quarter but Bungaree looked like the nerves got to them in the part I watched and didn't seem like they'd settled at all compared to Daylesford.
 
Caleb McGrath and Taylor Hall officially confirmed as joint coaches at Waubra.
Mitch Walsh to coach Skipton with Josh Webster as assistant.
Half the clubs in the league have changed coach for next season which is interesting.
Waubra, Ballan, Rokewood Corindhap and Buninyong going with joint coaches which seems a high number of clubs going down that path.
 
Some interesting player movements early in the off season.
Rokewood Corindhap signing a few. Windmill money proving helpful?
Hepburn losing both Grant boys was unexpected.
Learmonth bringing in some more youth.
Ballarat forum suggesting Adam Toohey leaving Gordon. Any truth to that?
Zack Ryan heading back to the Central Murray league also.
Bungaree topping up through family ties with Geordie Lukich.
Buninyong busy resigning current and former players.
What other signings are generating interest?
 
Skipton.
Added Luke Delahey, retained Ben Lusby, brought Liam Phillips home. Former Taylor Medallist and coach, Sam Willian, returning.
Depth improved with Josh Sargent and Alex McLean coming across from Lexton. McLean a former junior also.

Don't know much about Delaney. Are these guys replacing what's lost or on top of last year's list?

Dunnstown the others who have added to there list well.

Not much news out of clunes newlyn and creswick and surely hepburn have some spare cash to splash with who has left there so I expect something big to happen with them at some stage.

Rokewood another with a good number of signings but like most years maybe question the quality.
