Is Jim Wallis still on the gate at quamby?
Well macorna joins cohuna, cohuna won't get hardly any players or supporters, they won't change their jumper colours or call themselves cohuna macorna United and they wouldn't play any games out at macorna, cohuna get nothing out of it and macorna are swallowed up never to be heard of again same as any golden rivers team that joins a strong central Murray team, look what happen to was it lakes/Rovers when they amalgamated with kerang

That’s why Wandella will never join Kerang. It would be a take over not a merger.
That was a thing of the past with mergers, many recent ones have worked, like Ouyen and the southern Mallee giants

I think someone said here earlier that quambatook plan for next year to be their last, Then surely 2022 will be the last year of the GRFL. Can’t see the league being viable with 6 teams. Didn’t the mallee get away with it for a few years tho? I’d imagine AFL VIC won’t let it happen again.
can’t go on with 6 clubs due to an AFL Vic rule these days I believe.
interesting that an old friend of mine who used to run AFL central rivers basically guaranteed the future of the Golden Rivers League a couple of season ago when most of us actually could see the writing on the wall

I can’t see that being the case now. I’ll guess and say you’d have a much better insider knowledge then me.
It’ll be a sad day when it happens. But they’re not the first nor last league in this situation.

Bit like when the Mallee FL finished up. That was a shame, But had to happen.
Yep that may have got you an extra 12 months on your suspension, wouldn't it have been better to have been open 2 years ago, and work on a solution for clubs rather than putting your head in the sand
Hearing whispers that Nully's appeal has been denied. and will remain in the GRFL.
Yeah I thought it was a no brainer.
From reports Nully had recruited really well too.
My early tip, no one will get with in 100 points of them…. Again.

Why would AFL Vic knock it back, that makes no sense

They aren’t aloud to apply to move league’s for another 2 years now. They might be the only ones left in the league by then.

I think he meant both have been successful.
I was hoping they would be made to stay simply/selfishly for the other clubs but I must admit I feel abit sorry for them. The game I watched them against Ultima last season, who they have a very good rivalry with was abit sad. They looked to be just going through the motions and cruised to a 100 point win. Their players and supporters were just flat and didn’t seem to be enjoying it at all.
I don’t know how true it is but have heard if they changed leagues they would’ve been a hell of a lot stronger then last year but they aren’t sure if they will keep everyone if they stay in the GR. I still imagine they will be a 15 goal better side then everyone else but

Yep you don't have to be Robinson Crusoe to work that out. My point was both those mergers worked, Ouyen and walpeup and Beulah and Hopetoun, I think all others read it that way

Obviously I didn’t but I accept your reasoning.
I would think that the mergers mentioned were successful because the clubs involved were not failing but rather their league became untenable.
I would assume that Nully now have the ammunition to embarrass AFLV and the GRFL for the clearance denial.
If they go pedal to the metal and rack up some mammoth wins, there will be some very red faces in officialdom by mid-season.

They already record massive wins most weeks. I’m really not sure what AFL Vic were thinking in this situation.
They are too strong for the comp and were proactive and wanted to go. Yes it would have lessen the overall number of clubs but it actually would have evened the comp up and created interest.
You can hand the cup to them now
