How's finals looking? Always lots of talk on mergers here, any of this looking to happen soon?
Not much left - Millicent won 0 games - Casterton beat Millicent 3 times - West beat East and those two and so on and so on.
North only lost 1 game for the year to South, South lost 2 to North - could have been very different had those in charge been able to park their allegiances and arrogance
Casterton is in no mans land- they have few options.Where would Casterton go? They would be too strong for the South West.
Hamilton and Portland finished bottom of the Hampden FL. Could they come back?
South could end up playing a prelim against East at East and then a Grand final against North at North.
The league is working beautifully at the moment.
North and south both are considering joining the kntfl. Millicent and casterton both want out. Clubs should go out and decide there own future. Can't trust the league.
So much for the league working beautifully! Good to hear its not totally one sided leading into finals, bit unfortunate about the saints though.
Did Cast come close to East or West during the year?
Hamilton and Portland will no way come back. They are happy where they are, playing in a stable strong competition. Those two clubs have got a young list and they are going to just get better. Hamilton are dominating in the netball scene. Portland and Hamilton were playing off in the footy reserves gf last year, as well as Portland's unders played off in the gf last two years. Both clubs are well supported as well.Where would Casterton go? They would be too strong for the South West.

I agree, I think they will both climb the Hampden ladder in the next few years, pretty high quality of young talent around and shouldn't take long for them to start putting it together. It's pretty interesting though what the future could look like for Casterton and Millicent is they're season is as uneventful as this one seemed.Hamilton and Portland will no way come back.

dont you people read papers. MDSE footy has a 10k enter fee to join;also it would be hard for Millicent to join as the 3 clubs around them would object. if i read correctly KNTFL was one of the leagues who did not sign up to new pay structure so if you play in that league you cant play any were alse in south aus. so why would you join that leagueFrom what I have heard there are 4 clubs considering leaving the wbfl at the end of this season
this new pay structure will hurt clubs that need to spend money on players, West have lost Holmes and may lose another, Nangwarry will struggle to fill its coaching position and Kongorong has no coach also. south will lose oliver back to ednehope on good money coaching. SACFL has no money that why things havent happened. but you and every body here can see that the 3 leagues need to merge of the betterment of the game. this wont happen because clubs pride get in the way and when its to late teams fold. if you went thru each clubs in WBFL they all have good juniors but have trouble getting 23 players for u/17, MDSE clubs struggle with the small towns not having enough kids in the area and this is what you need for your seniors to survive. KNTFL have same trouble. so clubs have to pay bigger money to has beens and ordinary b grade players just to fill side. i have said for a long time money will stuff footy as the kids of today are too greedy and give nothing back. have alook at your own clubs and ask how many 25-30 yr olds are on your comittes not many i suspect. who will run the club once the older people go????By definition - what you have described above is not a competition - the SACFL appear hopeless
I don't disagree with you. Once upon a time I had some involvement with a club in a small town which is now extinct - and four clubs attempted to fill the breach - none successfully. The pig headed ness you speak of killed it and the WBFL. I had some minor involvement with Imperials proposal to join the HFL. The reasoning was very sound & if tested in Court (which they considered) in pretty confident they would have won. The VCFL were not much better, so when the WBFL Exec called in the review they warned them that it could blow up in their face but did not listen. That the SACFL has no money is a worry. It needs to restructure & do what is best for the communities and the game. Until it puts up a plan and a timeline, why should clubs do anything other than try and hang on for another year.this new pay structure will hurt clubs that need to spend money on players, West have lost Holmes and may lose another, Nangwarry will struggle to fill its coaching position and Kongorong has no coach also. south will lose oliver back to ednehope on good money coaching.

Does Glenelg still run a junior development program down here
Is there some opportunities to run more junior development programs here, footy clinics etc
