They have lost about 4 players to Melb clubs eg young guys down at Uni. They have 10 of last years under 18 premiership side coming up. Most of them will get a go at senior level I would say.

Spot on. Echuca aren’t going anywhere for a long time.

I thought a few went to Echuca United?

Yep the reason why Moama needs to be in the GV.

One regular senior player.

One regular reserves player that I know of.

Echuca have also established a club culture where players are preferring to play reserves there, than seniors elsewhere. Any wonder they’ve been dominant across all grades for so long.

Had a quick look on playHQ, Echuca had 6-7 guys play in the 2024 reserves flag and also the previous one in 2022. Pretty stock standard maybe even below what you work expect over a 3 year period.
You are correct though in saying the culture is strong at the moment with good systems in place to maximise the population advantages. Only took ash Byrne and Walker a short few years to establish and ensure it stays strong.

Bringing another club into a comp in hope it will weaken a powerhouse is IMO a strange attitude .

More the fact that a town of 20k+ only has 1 major league team. Seems logical. I think most posters on here would view your posts as strange 95% of the time.

Agree johnno#7: Ovens and Murray League with teams across the river would suggest an Echuca/Moama rivalry in the GVFL makes perfectly good sense.

Off the top of my head they have two on both sides of the river.

Echuca United’s Senior & Reserves on field results have plenty of room to improve.

The town doesn’t have 1 major( premier ) league team , it has 3 .
Whilst the argument for the amount of teams and whether they are major ( premier ) or minor ( community) league team based upon population is a differing discussion to that of .

Spot on. Echuca aren’t going anywhere for a long time.

Yep the reason why Moama needs to be in the GVL.
