They have a good crop of junior and senior colts coming in, by the looks.

Yep, although being Naracoorte, that doesn't always translate (town folk more likely (on balance) to head to university i.e. don't end up in the seniors).

I hope they keep playing despite the big losses in the seniors, Naracoorte will bounce back in time. Just lost a lot of experience this season.

Not sure how the South East fares with expats but in the Mid North a lot of the uni students (both football and netball) often come back every weekend.

The good footy players often come back from Adelaide on the weekends. There's something like 150+ Adelaide based KNTFL players. Can't seem to find the actual figure
Not a big thing in the Limestone Coast League. Does happen but not often. Parents for one don’t want their kids travelling that far every weekend. Millicent might have a couple of travellers this year .. not sure.
West 20 odd years ago flew a bunch of Adelaide players down each week as a real desperate measure.

They'll be fine. Another 20 goal loss yesterday and the B's seem to be doing even worse. These things happen so sit back and take it in!
Both junior teams undefeated which is nice.
It's already been mentioned I think, but aside from Naracoorte, the league is looking really good this year.
Could this be the year for Kyby?
I'm Naracoorte thru and thru (they are our great rivals) but I would not have a problem with that. If I'm not mistaken, they (Kyby) are right up there in the list of country footy teams since they last won a premiership. It's something like 50 years, so good on 'em if they can do it. Hey, they might be Naracoorte's rivals, but they are the tigers after all (I see you are a Richmond fan too ... we gotta get some success somewhere this year since it's not gonna be AFL for a while
)

Believe there may have been a meeting at Kaniva about rejoining KNTFL. Unanimously rejected by members.

Probably happier where they are. Don't blame them.
Interesting. I feel for KLU...they are in no man's land to some extent (quite a bit closer to Adelaide than Melbourne) but it's gotta be almost impossible for them to recruit Adelaide-based players when there's games in places like Stawell, Rupanyup, etc.
I wonder if they also discussed potential mergers (e.g. revisit the Nhill merger that was mooted a couple of years ago)

Were definitely at their strongest in KNTFL when had a strong Adelaide contingent. Dont believe merger is on the horizon either, wernt impressed with Nhill in previous discussions, however they do have strong junior numbers so going forward have a solid base.
Geographically, Nhill are probably the only option so if that's out then they (KLU) are going alone!
Speaking of Nhill, I noticed this today:
Upgrades
Renders look nice. It's hard to know for sure if the money is locked in but it does appear to be, so fingers crossed for them.
Thanks for that, mate. Probably should have posed the question the Wimmera thread ... that's the trouble when you follow multiple leagues
Every finals game will be great this year. I will be scoreboarding the Qualifying Final so I will have a prime position
Where are the finals being played this year?

They need to offer more enticing sweeteners to MSE clubs ...
Interesting. Solidarity amongst the MidSE clubs it would seem! It's been pretty much that way since this whole thing started. Forcing a club to change leagues would have been problematic anyway, so maybe not a bad thing. Penola did it willingly and got to play a "farewell" season in the KNT.The state’s peak football body is now saying it will not force any Mid South East Football League clubs to join the new Limestone Coast Football Netball League.

Which clubs would be the targets (granted it seems like none of them are interested (at least, officially))?
Doubt it matters. It sounds like an impossible sell to MSE clubs.

Being flogged by the Mount clubs every week is enough of an enticer to not join.

Although I daresay Port Mac would go ok, being so close to the Mount they'd get a fair few MG players that don't play for the Big 4.
