Cohuna couldn't get a 17s side together this year though...that being said Macorna's 17s have to rest players as their list is too big

Cohuna members voted yes last night to joining the HDFL
Hasn't the board said cohuna were first to put their hand up and they'll get in first

Marong and Maiden Gully tried last year didn’t they. Do the current HDFL clubs get a vote.

No one is going to get a vote, the commission will dictate which clubs are going where
Trent the board definitely have not said they will take Cohuna first. Marong have the HDFNL blessing, a number of clubs not sold on maiden gully.
The clubs can vote but in the end it’s AFLCV commission decision
I think aflvic knocked the move back last year, can't see that happening when both clubs have big junior bases, can't see cohuna knocked back, when their players come from the south and leitchy was let in which is 10 minutes down the road, creates a 12 team comp, and a pretty good standard

Cohuna going to have to tell a great story regarding their U 18s to get a look in aren’t they.
Can’t see any league bringing a club in, that isn’t fully playing in all groups

Didn't rochy not have a thirds team a couple of years ago?
Cohuna traditionally always have had strong thirds, they would have won at least 4 flags at thirds level in 20 years, plus a large number of pios footballers

Correct Trent. First year of Covid, GV bringing in U16 and the same time the Heathcote went to U18s.
Yep sorry not trying to have a go at you post, but it would be like the gv saying to rochy your out because you can't get thirds then heathcote not taking them, rochy and cohuna pretty similar sized footy mad, dairy towns that's all

Nah. I get that. But geez when your trying to get into a new comp. I would suggest making sure your ticking all the boxes to have a chance
Rochy ain’t going no where and to be honest have real nice numbers in U14 and U12.

Cohuna would be better off looking at the LV given the can't field thirds. Who cares where there players are going or why its not the HDFNL problem.
Cohuna will be the biggest town in the league, what an ignorant comment, considering they field under 12, and 14.5 now as well in the central murray

Their U14.5’s have 4 kids playing in it that are over age because they have no colt’s and they need to top up each week with U12’s. They also get the mercy rule used against them pretty often and have won 1 game for the season. The lack of juniors runs a lot deeper than the colt’s.

Shouldn’t the health of said club be the consideration in wether they decide what they want

They can decide whatever they want, there is no benefit whatsoever to the league in Cohuna joining.

The Loddon Valley should be making a pitch to Cohuna would be a real asset for them. With the potential of others joining in years to come the LV could prosper.
Probably not what they need. Cohuna would beat marong

They've never Won a Flag as the Cohuna Kangas? They've also had a good advantage in being a good sized town relavent to the Comp they are in and being the closest to Echuca, Bendigo & Melbourne as well. They would also be working to a smaller salary cap if followed. You'd expect them to be strong but I'm not sure they would be walking straight into a Calivil or Bridgewater tyoe dynasty.
You obviously know very little about cohuna the town, it's like saying rochy should join the Loddon valley fly. They've produced more bendigo pioneers than the hdfl
The benefit with cohuna joining is a large following, instant rivalries with leitchy and locky. It's 10 minutes down the road from leitchy, the poor bendigo folk might need to drive 10 minutes further once a year
