AFLW 2024 - Round 8 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Yeah yeah....lol
Thinking back about this got me rambling in my old age and has made me want to pull the boots on again. Anyone know a good team around the WRFL before the registration window closes?
Great turn of events up in Brisbane a few weeks back. I returned from a few weeks' away and arrived at a reserves game to find former Kilmore junior Geoff Still warming up to play with a club that I'm involved with up here.
Stilla has impressed, kicking 4 goals from half forward in the reserves last weekend against Palm Beach. Wouldn't mind having a few of his mates up here - Makin, Abbott, McCrae, Milburn, Fondrick etc.

A few of you might be a bit young what about Frank Pertile, Mickey Trewin Christain Brock(st marys) and schimma ? Euroa was a gun .
On that Wallan u12 thing did they play a game or did St Marys just recieve the cup ?
No, Wallan fronted up and even prepared a banner and ran out onto the ground, but they didn't pay the bond or fine or whatever it was they had to pay so no game went ahead.
Funny thing about that is the fella who I'm pretty sure was the umpire at the centre of that controversy can now be heard bagging GVFL umps at Seymour games.
Was it after this season that Wallan left the league?
Also, what was the reason Kilmore left the league?

Pretty sure St.Mary's played Euroa in that game. Funny thing is, IIRC they did make a banner and run onto the ground - but they had to jump the fence from just near the scoreboard on the opposite side of the ground to the changerooms!No, Wallan fronted up and even prepared a banner and ran out onto the ground, but they didn't pay the bond or fine or whatever it was they had to pay so no game went ahead.
I believe so. Sure didn't miss that trip to Wallan to play against blokes 4 years older than me.
What, didn't you like playing on blokes with half a beard in U12's Grandale?
Did you also miss playing on that ground with the wind whipping down the hill making it almost impossible to kick a goal up one end?
Ahh, the memories that flood back everytime I drive past Wallan on the Hume and see that beautiful ground and black & white stripes on the clubrooms over the side of the hill!
Who were the Wallan guns from your time Tusken? For me it was Hayden Langborne, Jason McGrath, Benjamin, maybe even Martin Romeril from memory was in an interleague pic somewhere, and obviously a little bustling Barry.
What about that little fella Barry. Can't remember his surname (it's on the tip of my tongue, though - it's not Hall) but he end up getting a game for the Hammerheads.

Gavin Langborne (who coached Mansfield a few years ago) was the man I think from back then for Wallan, and I'm sure I remember that little Barry character Grandale speaks of. I think they had a girl playing for them at the time who could play a bit too!

great days, great memories, tim donohue,andrew collard,craig hall, paul dawe also played, they never got beat until wallan started playing blokes with beards, mick gardiner did get his jaw broken the night before the granny, had it wired and played,great effortYou sound about my vintage jobbyav.
That Sainters side won the U/16's the same day Wallan U/12's were not allowed to play, just to rub some salt in the wound. The umpire was bashed after we(saints) beat them in the prelim.
It was a pretty fierce rivalry back then. 2 years before massive all in brawls broke out around Kings Park after Wallan beat probably the best "team" I ever saw in the SDJFL. That Sainter side with Mick Gardiner, Brett Hall, Andrew Rutherford and Marky Bender among others were premiers and champions in under 12's and 14's and lost their first ever game in the U/16 GF. Mick Gardiner had his jaw broken at a disco the fri b4 the GF, conspiracy theories were rife... Ahhh the memories, great thread
I remember a guy called ALbbie from Wallan and I'm sure he drove to the games in U'16s.Anyone know what Schimma from Euroa is up to as would like to get in touch with him? Thanks Mick TrewinYou sound about my vintage jobbyav.
