Great call. totally missed him, has to be right up there in the count.Holland wins easily
Because years ago their junior comp was shut down on them and teams forced into a comp which just so happens to be centred around Wangaratta . Parents and kids get a connection to Wangaratta and Benalla is left with the bugger all numbers .
Happens all across the state with these junior comps .
No high school , Shepp Juniors increasing grades and GVL giving up on having 2 grades of juniors .
Just get rid of junior only competitions .
Keelin Betson has been Mooroopna’s best player this season. It will be interesting to see if the umps recognise him. I’d say he’d win Mooroopna’s bnf if the count was today. Undersized ruck who gives everything and is rarely beaten. Heart and soul player.league medal candidates? I've given it my best go, probably missing a few.
Benalla's Welsh
Echuca's McHale
Euroa's Hayes not enough games, maybe Pendlebury.
Kyabram's Herbert, Ogden and Depasqaule all right up there.
Mansfields' Mahoney brothers are always strong with Howes lurking.
Mooroopna's McCarthy.
Rochester's Trewhella.
Seymour's Beattie & Mason but haven't won enough games for max votes.
Bear's Decicco & Smith.
Swan's Kovacekic in the ruck. Big unit who controls games.
United's Cucinotta.
Tatura's Elliot or B.Ryan from a stellar front half of year.
I am liking one of bears boys as my tip!
Whatched Shepp 4 times bog in 2 and close in the other2 Has had good players around him taking votes but in with a big chance After his cox medal effort in their winning GF against Ky went to the picola league where he just dominated winning the league medal and runner up ( I think) plus a couple of club best and fairest ,great fella to go with itHolland wins easily
Not sure how playing district football really matters..... why does it matter what level you've played or come from..... have you watched him? He has been incredible this year, will be huge in shepps push come September.The bloke that’s been running around in district footy the last 3 or 4 years ?
Was a bit of tongue in cheek comment . Blokes a superstar on and off the field .Not sure how playing district football really matters..... why does it matter what level you've played or come from..... have you watched him? He has been incredible this year, will be huge in shepps push come September.
Benalla losing their junior comp coincided with their juniors being pushed into and exposed to Wangaratta .Can you clarify please :
Firstly, you have said above and on several occasions IIRC that Benalla loosing its junior comp has been a huge factor in their decrease in competitiveness,
Was supportive of GVL having two junior grades of football , issue was shepp district juniors then changed their age groups which undermined GVL’s attempt to have 2x junior sides as well as adding extra teams that were trying to drag from a already depleted pool of players .Then
You criticised GVFL for dropping two grades of juniors above which IIRC you were opposed to them having from the outset,
Junior comps drag kids into them , coffee mums become accustom to just turning up dropping their kids and running, which affects volunteer numbers . Because they are often surrounded around high schools , kids who would otherwise play with their district club are drawn into these comps . What ends up happening is there are 4-5 x the amount of kids , who develop a dream to play at say Shepp Bears . Reality hits for many of them when they 15-16 and they drop out of footy.and are now saying to get rid of junior only competitions ?
I don’t think they are beneficial at all in regions where they drag kids from district clubs . ( which is most )I am confused as these comments sound contradictory.
Or are junior competitions beneficial in certain regions but maybe not your backyard?
GVL 16 , 18 , reserve , senior , everyone else u14 and u17 , reserve , senior.Can you outline what structures you feel should operate to assist GVFL and surrounding district leagues to maintain both adequate quality and quantity of players throughout all grades.
Is it a case of senior clubs only being permitted to have one junior side in each age group with their junior club or should they not have juniors aligned to clubs of major leagues??
The thing is they say the broader the base the stronger the peak, and numbers always seem to decrease from juniors through to open age.
Is it set agreements, alliances or arrangements between clubs in the major league and specified lower level league clubs in the region? Maybe with some type of ‘free’ movement between them.
Most community football people’s views are ignored as they have a focus on community football , with the AFL competition not as the priority .IMO with your depth of experience knowledge and expertise, you are well positioned to put forward suggestions which could benefit all footy in the region, for the betterment of everyone as a whole football community. Surely it’s time clubs and leagues stopped squabbling between themselves and their different administration systems and unite for the future of strong football both locally and as a whole.
Keelin Betson has been Mooroopna’s best player this season. It will be interesting to see if the umps recognise him. I’d say he’d win Mooroopna’s bnf if the count was today. Undersized ruck who gives everything and is rarely beaten. Heart and soul player.
who are you pointing towards ringo? I have somebody in mid also... OTB?Its sad when a former local football 'identity' comes up with three or four user names for their posts potting others. Just sad!!
who are you pointing towards ringo? I have somebody in mid also... OTB?
Everybody else on this thread knows who it is ... and if they know I'm positive you would too!who are you pointing towards ringo? I have somebody in mid also... OTB?

Huge call..Interesting
Might be the off chance, that despite the results and the outside noise, the committee and players are all onboard with what he's trying to do.Huge call..
