What are peoples thoughts on other finals venues, Wakool, Quamby and Macorna. With specific finals yet to be assigned one would imagine that the Second Semi will be held at Wakool as they are currently likely to be involved in the first semi and possibly the prelim. First semi at Macorna and Prelim at Quamby for mine.

Having the Grand Final at Kerang is only good due to the neutral positioning! When at the Granny, the crowd is dead an there is no atmosphere at all! Didnt even have a stretcher there last year!! Its just no good havin it as the GRFL grand final venue

What was Wandella vs Wakool final score on the weekend boys?Paper listed Wakool today as 0.0.

Why does it matter if he is from Nully, if it is there you have to pay it. People never like the centre square infringement, but most of the time it is there. It's not hard to stay behind the line until the ball is thrown up. Not called that much because kids are usually doing the boundary (which is another issue altogether!). I reckon he would sleep pretty well, it's just footy, not the end of the world! I would think you would have bigger issues going on in your life than a boundary decision.

The way Juddy tapped it down to Jamo who kicked it long into our forward line was just sensational!

The moula fella chased his opponent in there, but they paided it against moula. It's always going to be an issue unless all the umps are neutral, and that's not going to happen.

How do you know that, I thought most players are watching the ball up at that point not watching if other players are infringing on the square.

Theres always gunna times where people think what if in a drawn game, for example what about the 3 times the central (paid umpire) didn't even throw the ball above the ruckmans head and moula got them all to advantage and also got 3 goals. I think you will find what goes around comes around. Don't blame umpires for your what if's.

Anywhere in the GRFL as long as neutral to senior games the grounds are good enough to play on all year there good enough for the granny

i think can play maybe trying to point out that if you are doing the boundary, goal, central what ever be honest and consistent dont have a one eyed view we all want our sides to win but at the end of the day if they get into finals through dodgie decisions it wont help them at finals time, we all know that and no I'm not making comment on umpires to much they got a tough job to do call it as you see it but be consistent

The finals are on a rotation so each club gets a final every 3 years. Wan, Mur and Mac share one. Quam, Ult and Nully and Moula, Wak and Hay share one. I think it is a pretty good system and it's a lot fairer than some leagues. I spoke to somebody from the league about this and if they had the power to choose grounds for finals they would pick Mur, Wan and Mac or Quam because they are the closest to Kerang and it guarantees them a good crowd. I can't see other teams in the comp liking that idea.

Good crowds is only a easy excuse to keep the final in KERANG can they honestly expect the people in the league to believe that they wont get a good crowd to the granny if it was held somewhere else eg Swanhill ( Swan hill being around the same distance for a lot of the clubs as Kerang) of course you will get the crowd everyone makes an effort to see their side play in the big one. Oh thats right they get the crowd from Kerang crap its only our clubs at the finals Kerang are in the CMFL and feel they are above us. The takings should be filtered through the towns in our league which Kerang are not, through service stations shops etc reaping some reward for the town holding the final, as we know the canteen etc are shared by different clubs each year.

Kerang isnt above you or better than you. You are another one who continues the "Us Vs Them" mentality, why do you do it. Time to get over it, move on, i did years ago.

Its not hard to catch out the corner of ur eye mate. N when the whistle was blown the Moula bloke was atleast 5 paces in, and he knew he had infringed!!!

Which occasion are we talking about? He paid more than one..........and that's a fact!

The one in the later parts of the last quarter, #34 for Moula got a bit excited and did infringe! But its in the past now mate, both teams ended the day with 2 points each!!!!
kerang would have to have the best surface to play on in the district as well, and the facilities are above all GRFL grounds so as sam kekovich says you know it makes sense
