It's going to be interesting to see how the year unfolds. Will the addition of the three new clubs be temporary or will they be looking to cement themselves in the Murray League long term? There are rumours the old Tungamah league could be reformed in 2019 and might include Tungamah, Shepp East, Katandra, Rumbalara, Congupna and perhaps one or two other nearby clubs...
As for jumper clashes, there certainly isn't enough contrast between Numurkah and Katandra, or Barooga and Tungamah for that matter. Even the royal blue Shepp East Eagles kits aren't a great match up against Echuca United's navy Eagles guernseys.
I’m pretty sure the jumper and netball dress clashes have been sorted already with the incoming clubs having alternative stops for those games or permanently in place already.
Not sure where the talk of the Tungamah league comes from Tucky, but I can say that Rumbalara certainly wouldn’t be in discussions to join it. We are quiet comfortable in the MFL and we’d like to think competitive enough.
But I think what we are most likely to see happen in 2019 is
a)all the clubs continue to operate as is with this season, no changes other then the draw.
b)Picola league come under the AFLgm and we lose Katandra and Shep back to the picola.
c)Picola league doesn’t affiliate, we gain possibly 5 (or more) additional clubs from the PDFL, and split into a 2 tier competition.
Still too early to know but, and it will all hinge on what the PDFL decide to do.....
