Senior List
I do believe Ouyen and Walpy will become one in 3 years and join the Sunraysia league. I believe Ouyen want this to happen.
I saw this years grand final and Walpys local players are all close to the end of the careers and cant see them being able to field a side in 3 years. Walpy do have an excellent side now but like all country towns the population is getting smaller and older.
I agree with this. And i think its the most obvious senario. Lets face it, this is the sunraysia league. If ouyen, walpy and underbool are under the mildura rural city council unbrella, it only makes sence that they play against the other teams in the own council. The main problem the mallee league has is the southern teams like Jeparit want to go to the league south of them. when they finally do, that league will fold. But with the lack of numbers, i think that Ouyen and walpy will have to merge to do it. OR They stay seperate and join the MFL. Its certainly going to be interesting logistically when it all happens. A combined team of Ouyen/walpy from last year would of played finals in SFL or dominated MFL. But who knows what sort of team would be left in 3 years
