Good Call - Not King Rich from a few posts backAND the Harcourt can get back on the piss again!
Two interesting prelims in Lexton v Navarre - Navarre have had 2 tough physical games Lexton to Win & Maldon -(should be Brook) v Natte. Natte have proven to be the bolter, Yes they are flying with a tall forward line capable of big thing's, down back they might be exposed in height by the lack of talls though, game will be decided in the middle, and with a couple of late season inclusions could still challenge for the flag. Did anyone hear how Ryan Morgan went at the trubunal (tribunal)? Was gone for all money by all reports. Copped 3 weeks I'm tipping a Lexton v Natte / Brook (toss up) granny.
It maybe just that Money talks the Loudestwell this is amazing so i'm waiting to see K. rich and others replies, unc johnny and all
the entire three former lexton plains league clubs are all IN this weekend's prelim finals not 1, not 2 but all 3 wot does this say about the 2010 mcdfl or was it just superior recruiting by fisher at the tigers, the boys at the swans and the grasshoppers or did they start off with stronger bases all round
You may be right but just how far do you expect to go in spending more money. We have had a viable league here for years and it is getting stronger all of the time. Over the years just about every team has had its time at the top. In the last twenty to thirty years our league has survived while the Lexton League and the Plains League lost teams and were forced to merge a couple of times. That is what clubs spending big money results in, sides cant compete and go under. Is that the future we want for MCDFLI think it is painfully obvious. MCDFL is a lower standard competition!!!! None of the teams that joined the CHFL even made the final 8.
That is not said to bag the league, they attract bigger crowds than the BFL and have great community support but the MCDFL have traditionally had smaller $$$$$ and had to survive with the local talent. Natte, Navarre & Lexton have been paying $$$ to attract good players for years.
Maybe all the other clubs will need to step up and catch them

Quality post Bucket. Your probably one of those blokes who likes to sit back and pot shot clubs while others do the work? I reckon blokes like yourself could probably run the comp, you're always ready to point out where were all going wrong. Enlighten us with your wisdom as to what the league can do to halt this doomed future you predict. Even better, what are YOU doing about it?? Besides being a typical big footy warrior!Accurate Post
Rubbish post. Within 3-5 years we will see an ~11 comp league again, either through committee miss-management/poverty stricken budget/inability to attract players.
Far from the much touted 'super-leauge'
I believe that all the 3 new clubs would opening admit that their senior teams this season are alot better that last year. Certainly Navarre and Natte Bealiba have recruited really well to make an impression on the MCDFNL in the 1st year, which to their credit has been successful. Lexton are as good if not slightly better than their GF side from last years LPFL Grand Final. Fisher is a great coach who has really gelled a good side together. The other teams from the LPFL that joined the CHFL would also agree that thet have dropped away especially Skipton and Rokewood. Cargnham seem to have been better than last year. There is no doubt that the CHFL is a stronger competition, thats a given. So overall I don't think that you can draw any conclusions in comparing the old LPFL to the MCDFNL. The existing clubs in MCDFNL like Maldon, Harcourt and Newstead who have been there abouts the last couple of years where probably more effected by injuries throughout the season at crucial times. They will be more than competitive in 2012. Trentham have definately improved over the past couple of years, while Avoca, Talbot, Creek and Bushy are going through rebuilding phases. I think that the MCDFNL would be wrapped to see the 3 new clubs up in the top 4 in the 1st season, if that means that they help lift the calibre of the competition. That's what you are looking for to help build a healthy competition. The challenge for all teams is to remaining consistant over a long period of time. All clubs are going to keep coming at the top teams every year. $$$ are alway's going to be part of football, however clubs that can create a balance between developing their home grown talent and topping up with some quality players from outside of the club will alway's give themselves a chance without breaking the bank. Anyway looks like a 2 great Preliminary finals this weekend, so let's sit back and see who will play off in the big one next Sunday!!

What a load of crap Wombat & Bucket...MCDFL teams have been paying out good money for years ( as they need to like all clubs ). Avoca over the last few years, Carisbrook regularly, Dunolly, Rovers have had some big paying players and I assume Newstead and Maldon would be in the same boat, maybe the difference is that these clubs regularly deny paying the money.... The fact is that Lexton played off last year in a GF and Navarre wasn't far off and both teams have probably improved this year, Natte had a good local base and have added some good players...and yes I'm sure at some cost for all these teams but my point is no more than the GF teams from previous years...as for strength of league don't get to precious about it because I would think that these three teams would be in the same situation as they are now if they where still in the LPFL..they would have been all in top four as Skipton and Rokewood have dropped off.
One small issue today though was the scoreboard in the last quarter which awarded the wrong side a goal before correcting and then missed a behind altogether, meaning the scores were incorrect in the dying stages. Most people at the ground seemed aware of the situation but it wouldn't want to happen in a close Grand Final.
As a long time fan of the old LPFL it is great to see the majority of league awards going to our old clubs! It will also be pleasing to see that both the senior football and netball will be won by LPFL teams! Thus confirming my thoughts at the start of the year that these clubs would be to strong for the MCDFL!
