anything on branxholme

Branxholme Ramblers.
As early as 1893 they have had the same name and colours but can't find anything on the actual colours or pattern. (Appears they were in recess from 1891-1892) but prior to 1891 they were using the same colours and name.
You could reach out to the club on FB. Someone will know or give a contact number for someone who does. Only merged in 1983 so not that long ago.

Wallacedale Wanderers.
There's mention of the Wanderers winning the 1920 flag against Portland in the South west association. A small league of 4 to 5 teams. Well before their time in the wallacedale and district football association 1931-54
Portland were referred to as ports and a Casterton team referred to as "rainbows"
BigChippa52

Typed Wallacedale football club into trove. Then it will convert images of articles into text. But often the words jumble. It's needle in a haystack type of stuff. In match reviews they sometimes refer to the teams as nicknames but hardly ever. Wanderers is mentioned in a few articles but this one says. The grand final was moved from the Wanderers ground to condah

Wallacedale Wanderers red and blue stripes that sorted, just need to figure out Branxholme Ramblers desingn and colors, hopefully the name stayed the same to when they merged

Millicent have gone back to old design and West have gone with an uninspired Melbourne guernsey. I'm a bit confused how this league will work now. Will the MSE and KNT clubs just join in at some point or have they scrapped the idea and just renamed the WBFL?

Port Mac would be the next best candidate to join the league (if they so desire). Their close proximity to Mount Gambier would entice players to choose to stay or play for them.

That's why you have clash jumpers (see Hills and Barossa leagues among others)

from what I've heard it was not just that, mse want k'rong and pt mac to stay together the clubs want the same, tant is too small for the mount teams, Hatherleigh is one but aprently want to keep the rivalry they have with k'doo going, the burr are essently a second millicent side and its a new rivaly and would be good for the league and the burr are a strong club
