Picola District football league

Re: Piccola District football league

The billabong crows are a merger between Oaklands & Urana Football clubs. I think their strip is the Adelaide colours.

I think you will find all sides that were given the option as too what division they want to go in will definately say division 2. This leaving an 8 team comp in Division 1, which the league has said will be enough teams. No teams will be made to enter a division they do NOT want to be part of. Unfortunately i agree with passed comments in that the other sides in division two that are close, eg Katunga, Yarrwoweyah, Waaia, Strathy will struggle over time to compete with the sides closest to Shepp. Within the next ten years can perhaps see Yarroweyah, Katunga & Strathy possibly being one team, or at least two of them merging, and perhaps the first two to merge will be better off in the long........country footy is now killing small country clubs!!!

Re: Piccola District football league

Has anyone heard if the CDFL teams have to feild the same Juniors as the PDFL setup?

Re: Piccola District football league

So is that Berrigan, Blighty, Deni Rovers, Mathoura, & the CDFL?

Leaving; Dookie, Katandra, Katamatite, Katunga, Picola, Shepp East, Strathy, Tungamah, Waaia, Wunghnu, Yarroweyah in a Vic Div?

The fact of the matter is that all clubs want to be smack in the middle of their league, it cannot happen all the time. There will be lots of fighting over this proposal. If I were to be selfish i would say that this Vic comp is great for my club, but overall? I think not?

I agree this will draw plenty of criticisim but can bet ya bottom dollar that no vic teams will want to join the CDFL. Still think the best option is too create a league similar to the old Tungamah league with Tungamah, Katandra, Shepp East, Dookie United, Tallygaroopna, Congupna and perhaps a few others nearby would be best suited but hey it seems the VCFL dont care what the players/officials think they just do what they think is best!!

Re: Piccola District football league

Here's a thought in relation to this re-modelling of our league. Granted I may be a traditionlist, but i don't think anyone wants to see our current clubs dissapear and we all realise the importance, especially in the current era , that a football club has on the local community.
Can somebody who's in the know let us all know a few things ?
Would this be being planned had shepp east , dookie and for that matter berrigan been re-located to other leagues, who knows maybe even where they had less travelling ?
Without being rude , when was the last time Wunghnu was able to be competetive on a consistant basis with the likes of those in group 2 , Katandra, Tungamah and obviously only new but Dookie and Shepp East ?
I am right in thinking, most KDFL clubs would travel through Wunghnu to get to Tally ?
How long would Picola , Katunga, Katty , Yarraweah, Strathy be able to consistantly match the other clubs in div 2, I know some have enjoyed success over time, and are at the moment, but to do it over 10 or so years is a bit different and required to maintain a club ?
Given Picola drag quite a few from Tongala and, along with Mathoura, a few from Echuca how far would it be from from Echuca or Tongala to Cooleambilly, Rennie, Jerlderie and who are the billabong crows ?
How would some of these clubs get players to travel a couple of hours every week ?

In summary, unfortunately, if your a life member of Berrigan, Picola, Mathoura, Yarraweah, Katunga, Strathy or Katty I would not bank on seeing your grandchildren play with your club.

Some great points! Wunghnu good be a KDL fit, but on the other hand I think Tally would be a better PDL fit.

Shepp East, Katandra, Tungamah and Katamatite are teams that are never down for too long. OK people don't like what is proposed so place forward an alternative. If you fight for long enough and hard enough the VCFL have to listen, just like they did when it was going to be a PDFL and Central Goulburn merger.

My mail is that many CDFL teams are looking else where and only a few are looking favourably on the PDFL.

To all those traditional PDFL teams, what has happened to your league that used to functon with 8 or 9 teams. Then in come Mathoura, Strathy, Tungamah, Katamatite, Katandra, Berrigan, Shepp East, Dookie and now the CDFL. That is a big what the!! Teams have not been able to play each other twice since 1994.

Post some alternatives!

The three teir system involving Muuray and Picola is the way to go

If that does happen to be the case, will the highlighted league be affililiated with the VCFL still or perhaps a move to AFL NSW/ACT?

Supporters will not or do not want to travel more than say 125 -150 lkms and when sides are playing sides from this far away, it appears hard to make ends meet , in all comps .
I hear on the vine the murray league is considering 16 man a side reserves, due to lack of numbers.
Would it not be fair to assume a large percentage of the PDFL players work or live in Shepp or Echuca ?
With these ideas in mind here goes a suggestion :
SHEPPARTON COMP.
Shepp East , Dookie, Wunghnu, Katandra, Waaia, Strathy, Katunga, Tunga, Tally, Yarraweah , Cobram, Berrigan, Katty
ECHUCA COMP.
Picola, Deni Rovers, Blighty, Cohuna, Leitchville, Elmore, Lockington, Mathoura, Moama, Pyramid Hill.

All new clubs appear to be struggling to be regularly consistant in current leagues and possibly only a couple of big road trips in either comp.

Appreciate views ?

Yeah not a bad senario, think Cobram being a bigger town should be able to compete in Murray League, dont know why they struggle so much

you would think that the VCFL will not let clubs slip from their grasp. NSW AFL might be happy to get rid of the struggling CDFL teams

Re: Piccola District football league

Haven't looked how it works but how could it look if the MFL, PDFL and remaining CDFL teams form a 3 tier Murray League. I will have a go at it over the weekend and post it on Monday. Have a good weekend.

Re: Piccola District football league

Can anyone confirm that Tumgahmah have signed Congupna big fellas in Betson and Robinson (or maybe Robertson)?? I heard that they are getting $1200 between them...seems a lot of money for fellas that battled in the murray league. I seen Congupna play last year and they weren't going to do any good with fellas like that in there team... i would think that they would be glad to see the end of them!! It would be interesting to see what anyone else has heard??

Re: Piccola District football league

Dookie United beat Katunga. I think the score was 10.8. 68 to 5.6. 36.

Re: Piccola District football league

Katunga will be ok, they need to work as a team, but they will miss the loss of ricky few who has gone to geelong.

Re: Piccola District football league

Is there some where that you can see the barooga night series results? The shep news is lazy and normally take a week for the news to get to them!

Re: Piccola District football league

There are really no other feasible ways of admitting the 4 Coreen League teams. The teams that get to choose where they want to go will all choose Vic I would guess.

North:Berrigan, Billabong Crows (Urana/Oaklands), Blighty, Coleambally, Deni Rovers, Jerilderie, Mathoura, Rennie

South: Dookie United, Katamatite, Katandra, Katunga, Picola United, Shepparton East, Strathmerton, Tungamah, Waaia, Wunghnu, Yarroweyah.

Mathoura will be really disliking this proposal.
Mathoura to:
to Coleambally about 200km
to Billabong Crows about 180km
to Rennie 153km

Otherwise some better travelling distances for most sides.

 

[GrassKat]

Re: Piccola District football league

When looking at distance:

It is shorter from Mathoura to Dookie, then from Mathoura to Coleambally. Where do most Mathoura players come from Echuca or Deni? They may actually be a better fit in the southern division.

Yarroweyah may be a better fit in the North instead.

Re: Piccola District football league

Is anyone at the Rovers worth $250 per game? Not since 2003!!
