After three completed rounds of the MGFNL the ladder makes for some interesting viewing. Whilst the points and therefore final positions will always be slightly askew until everyone has had a bye it is worth noting the league has only two winless teams and the same number of undefeated teams, and one of those undefeated sides could easily be one and one if not zero and two. So, what does all this mean? We have ourselves a mostly even competition that should throw up plenty

Tarwin V Yinnar A resolute Yinnar held on over a fast finishing Tarwin in the opening clash of the MGFNL ANZAC Day Split round action. Rolling out a line up that had several forced changes to their Rond Two match Yinnar headed to Shark Park with returning ruckman Jesse Bowe in her side and certainly took advantage of the big man’s handy work early. At the main break it was the visiting Pies who led by over five goals with their small forwards proving mightily hard to stop f

Round Three of the MGFNL season feels more like an AFL round than a local league round with games being played across multiple days and time slots. As luck would have it this will allow league partners, Gippsland FM, to broadcast two games over the weekend. Firstly, they will take in the all-important local derby that has Boolarra travel to Mirboo North for a Saturday twilight clash followed by the Sunday battle between Hill End and Fish Creek. Mirboo North v Boolarra. To

Fairer weather certainly resulted in some much higher scoring across the MGFNL on Saturday. And if anyone thought a tough round one battle would put the slows on the last years Grand finalists, they were horribly mistaken. Foster and Fish Creek combined for three hundred and fifty-one points (351) between in their respective clashes with Boolarra and Mirboo North. Hard to argue that the top two sides from last year won’t have a big say in this years’ finals series. Yinnar V

Short of Bohdi and the 50 year storm materialising in the Prom this weekend you’d have to assume we’ll be greeted by better conditions for Round Two of the MGFNL season that we saw in Round One. As if the Heavy 10 track conditions were not bad enough the wind that accompanied them led to only four clubs getting to “raise the bat” for putting a half century on the scoreboard. Hopefully we see a few more goals this week than last. Yinnar V MDU. And speaking of this week the Gi

Any doubts anyone had it was footy season were surely dispelled the instant the curtains were opened Saturday morning. Rain, wind, clouds and the anticipation of getting a kick greeted us all regardless of where we call home across Gippsland. And if you were at Foster on Saturday afternoon for the Grand Final replay as I was you were even treated to the odd burst of sunshine amongst the downpours and gusts of wind that might well have blown a dog off a chain. Foster v Fish

As we enter into what promises to be a fascinating Mid Gippsland Football Netball League footy season the excitement and anticipation for the competing clubs is palpable. Will the power houses of the last few years remain at the top of the ladder or, after some years of development and recruiting, will we see a surge up the ladder from one of last year’s battlers? One thing is for sure though the ladder has everyone on no wins and the scoreboards will all start with zeroes
