WELCOME TO THE 2025 SEASON PREVIEW Thank you so much for taking the time to read this edition of my country footy pre season preview. With the success and positive feedback and response to the first ‘Season Preview’ I compiled for last year, I thought let’s go again with a preview edition for the upcoming 2025 season. I’ve included in the obvious information such as each league fixture, coaching information for football and netball and a quick recap of last season. However I’ve also done a bit of a deep dive into each league and complied a 10 years form guide for each senior football club as well as comparing scoring averages over the years. After being a bit too adventurous with the first pre season preview I’ve scaled this one back a bit to 150 pages! Please note, there has been a lot of data and information to gather and go through to put this together. I have tried to ensure the accuracy of it all. However I am aware there still may end up being some typos, mistakes or miscalculations, so I apologise in advance if this is the case. I am a 1 man production team, so if there are any glaring errors, please let me know so I can rectify them. Last year the site celebrated it’s 25th anniversary of covering all things country football. So as we hit 2025, this year will be a bit of a look back at country footy for the first 25 years of this century. I would personally like to thank everyone who visits, feedbacks and enjoys what the site is all about - sharing information for those who love and support country footy and netball from wherever you are in the world. I love that this ‘hobby’ of mine brings so much joy to others. With this in mind, I’ve done a bit of recapping of some of the key stats from the past 25 years, and have picked my best ‘county’ AFL side of players drafted between 2000 and 2024. I’m sure you’ll agree and also disagree with my selections, but hey, that’s the fun of it too. Finally, I hope you enjoy reading the preview as much as I did putting it together. I have a couple of new ideas to hopefully bring to fruition across this season as well. To all the coaches, volunteers, player both football and netball, senior and junior, umpires, supporters, members, sponsors and lovers of country football, I wish you and your club all the best for the upcoming season. Cheers - Glenn
LOOKING AHEAD GOING, GOING, GONE?
IAnother year and we report that more clubs have gone into recess for the upcoming season. In the Picola & District FNL, Yarroweyah FNC goes into recess a year after celebrating it 70th anniversary while in the Bendigo FNL, one of the states oldest clubs, Maryborough FNC also misses this season. Broadford FNC will still sit out another year with the aim to rejoin the Bendigo FNL for the 2026 season. The Central Murray FNL lost Woorinen FNC on the eve of this season after winning a flag in 2019. Despite rumours to the contrary the demise of North Shore FNC in the Geelong FNL were written prematurely.
NEW CLUBS TO DEBUT
It’s always exciting to be able to announce a brand new stand alone football and netball club. This year see the Gisborne Giants FNC will begin in the Riddell and District FNL. They become the third brand new club since the year 2000 when we welcomed Strathfieldsaye FNC and the introduction of Berwick Springs in 2022. Season 2025 also sees a newly merged club in the North Central FNL where Nullawil FNC and Wycheproof Narraport FNC join forces and well now be known as the Calder United Lions.
LEAGUE MERRY GO ROUND
Again we had plenty of teams were looking to move at the end of 2024, with only a couple of them being successful. Following Kyneton FNC last year another club heads to the Riddell & District FNL with Melton South FNC returning to their previous competition after 27 years in the Ballarat FNL. Dookie United FNC leave the Kyabram and District FNL to return back to the Picola and District FNL after 8 years while the Bunyip FNC leave the West Gippsland FNC to go back to the Ellinbank & District FL. The Outer East FNL lose Narre Warren FNC and Berwick Springs FNC to the metro Southern FL.
THERE’S A BIG BIG SOUND
There will once again be a direct VFL presence in the Ovens and Murray FNL with the GWS Giants announcing plans to establish a training base in Albury this year. The concept revolves around providing an opportunity for Ovens & Murray FNL players and those from other nearby clubs and leagues the chance to have a go at VFL level. GWS have looked to the alignment and success that other VFL clubs, such as 2024 premiers Werribee, have had sourcing players from the OMFNL and they want in seeing it as creating a wider pool of talent to draw fro for thier VFL side.
DARE TO BE DIFFERENT
With the success of the 2024 Grand Final being played on the AFL Grand Final public holiday Friday last year, the Geelong FNL have recommitted to hosting their 2025 decider on the same day again this season. Joining them in trying something different this season is the Hampden FNL who will also be hosting their Grand Final on the day before the AFL decider. Why other leagues haven’t cottoned onto this as a huge opportunity for their league in terms of looking to build bigger crowds and more revenue is a real head scratcher. It’s a gift for any league to try something different.

WHERE ARE WE GOING WITH REP FOOTY?
With the AFL looking at a way of relaunching State of Origin football, we need to have serious discussion ab out the merits of interleague footy at country level. Since 2019 there hasn’t been a significant number of league playing rep footy consistently. Some leagues have kept the tradition alive including the Goulburn Valley FNL v Ovens & Murray FNL and Hampden FNL v the Ballarat FNL among a handful of leagues. Why don’t we make this a focus and look at interleague footy focussed on the best Under 23's playing against each other to help discover the next Riley Bice.
ANOTHER SEASON, ANOTHER ROUND OF BREACHES
While player point breaches seem to have become few and far between now, salary cap breaches have been front and centre of late. Three clubs have been identified an penalised for breaches the cap in the past season. In the Central Murray FNL, 2024 runner up club Kerang FNC fell foul of investigations, as did Mornington Peninsula FNL Div 2 runner up Chelsea FNC. Penalties also came the way of Rumbalara FNC in the Murray FNL, while reprimands were given to Hay FNC in the Goldn Rivers FNL and Birchip-Watchem FNC from the North Central FNL.
GRASSROOTS RETURN
every Premiership
One of the great things about country footy is when those who’ve made it at the top level, come back to share their knowledge and talents at former home clubs or at grassroots level. Some of the names heading back home for 2025 include Dyson Heppell (Leongatha FNC), Tom Hawkins (Finley FNC), Matt Taberner (Myrtleford FNC) and Tom Clurey (Katamatite FNC). Other big names heading bush include Zac Touhy (Bacchus Marsh FNC), Gary Rohan (Port Fairy FNC) and Seb Ross (Colac FNC). Fingers crossed a guy by the name of Dusty might find his way back to Castlemaine FNC too!
CELEBRATIONS AHEAD
There are plenty of clubs and leagues celebrating major milestones this year. The Buninyong FNC in the Central Highlands FNL celebrates it 150th season this year and becomes the 28th currently active club to pass this milestone. Season 2025 also sees the Millewa FNL celebrate it’s 100th anniversary as a league which will also see it in action as an amalgamated football and netball league for the first time. The Outer East FNL will also recognise and celebrate 20 years of netball during this upcoming season.
DROUGHT BREAKERS??
With Maryborough FNC going into recess this season, they take with them the current longest losing streak of 62 games. So the longest current active losing streak now gets passed to Gormandale FNC in the North Gippsland FNL who are on the end of a 47 game losing streak. Here’s hoping the streak is broken this season.! When it comes to premiership droughts, we hope this is the year that the Wodonga Saints FNC in the Tallangatta and District FNL hoist the cup for the first time since they were still called Bethanga FC, all the way back in 1929. countryfootyscores.com - 2025 Season Preview

A LOOK BACK 25 YEAR STATE OF PLAY
(2000-2024)
HOW HAS COUNTRY FOOTY BEEN TRAVELLING?
The health of country footy is always a long discussed topic and is a complex, multi faceted and multi layered situation to try and explore. So to that end, we’ve put together a few data points to look at how country footy is currently placed and in some parts compared it to the previous 25 years. It’s not all doom and gloom, with lots to celebreat as we move into the next 25 years.
10 9 26 23 2
LEAGUES NO MORE
Since the first records of formation there have been 319 country football leagues going way back to 1879 and the Geelong and District FNL. Naturally there has been a decline since then in the number of active leagues, with 10 leagues disbanding over the past 25 years. Whilst this is always worrying, by comparison it’s less than the 27 leagues that disappeared between 1974 and 1999.
CLUBS ON THE EDGE
It’s never and easy decision for a club to go into recess for a season as history shoes us that the success rate of reappearing is not great. However 9 clubs managed to buck this trend over the past 25 seasons. The 2023 season saw Corowa Rutherglen FNC, Rushworth FNC and Yea FNC all unable to field senior football sides, however all three were back in action last year which was great to see.
CLUBS GONE FOR GOOD
Unfortunately in the past quarter of a century we have lost there 26 clubs who are no longer active. This includes Worowa FC who formed in 2001 and competed in the Yarra Valley Mountain DFNL but were gone by the end of 2003 and also the curious case of the Glenrowan FNC who won 4 Ovens and King FNL flags in a row by between 2014-17 but folded in 2019 after 100 years of existence.
JOINING FORCES
The first recorded merger in country football took place way back in 1895 when Willow Grove FC and Tanjil FC came together to form the Tanjil Districts FC with the last 25 seasons being no different. There have been 23 newly merged club form during this time. Whilst concerning, by comparison, there were 52 mergers that took place in the proceeding 25 years between 1974 and 1999.
NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK
Despite the challenge of clubs going into recess or disbanding, there has been a couple of success stories with the introduction of 2 new clubs. Strathfieldsaye FNC joined the Bendigo FNL for the 2009 season and Berwick Springs FNC had to wait an extra season due to Covid impacting their planned first season in 2020 before they got their start in the Outer East FNL for the 2021 season.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN
To ensure the ongoing viability and longterm sustainability of clubs, form time to time they need need to make the decision to find a new league home. During the last 25 years, 91 or 20% of the current 443 active country clubs have had at least 1 league change either due to their league disbanding, regional restructures or trying to find a viable long term home for ongoing success.
91
THE WINNERS
Over the past 25 years there have been 519 clubs compete in country football leagues. This number includes clubs that were both stand alone and part of mergers. During this period 103 clubs or 20.3% were unable to claim a senior premiership. Interestingly 22 of the 26 clubs who are no longer active, all won at least 1 premiership during the last 25 seasons.
FLAG DOMINATION
The last quarter of a century has seen some clubs absolutely dominate, none more-so than the Horsham Demons FNC who won a staggering 13 premierships in the past 25 Wimmera FNL seasons. This included an astonishing 10 flags in row between 2003 to 2012. Closely behind them sits Bambill FNC in the Millewa FNL who won 12, while Kerang, Koroit and Nathalia have all won 10.
AFL PRODUCTION LINE
Since 1887 country clubs have provided the VFL, AFL & AFL with 4180 players at last count. Over the past 25 years, country clubs have produced another 735 AFL and 119 AFLW players during that time. To this end, country clubs have produced 14 number 1 picks during this period, with 12 AFL # 1 picks and a further 2 #1 picks in the AFLW.

THE SCORING SCENARIO
Every league has a level of scoring disparity from time to time with a mix of strong and weaker clubs. In a slightly worrying trend over the past 25 years, we’ve had 6 of the Top 10 highest country scores of all time kicked, including the second highest ever for country footy which took place in 2019 when Great Western FNC kicked 79.41 515 against the Ararat Eagles FNC in the Mininera & District FNL.

AFL PLAYERS HEADING BUSH FOR 2025
It’s increasingly become a normal part of the game that when an AFL player finishes their careers, either of their own volition or not, more and more are choosing to ply their trade back in the country. This means lots of homecomings for players who return to an original home club as well as players finding new places to call home for the next part of their playing days. Here’s where you will find those were some of those who finished at the highest level last season, will be sharing their skills and excitement in season 2025. Country league

AFL VIC COUNTRY 25 YEAR TEAM
(2000-2024)
OUR TEAM OF THE LAST 25 YEARS Each season for the past few years, we’ve selected who we think has been in our All Australian ‘country’ team, based on former country based footballers who’ve had standout AFL seasons. With State of orgin back in the convo - why not reshare our Victorian Country team of the past 25 years! So given we are celebrating 25 years, it make sense to pick who we think have been the best former country players at AFL level. The selection criteria was pretty simple, however the choices were extremely hard in most cases as there were 730 players to narrow down to 22 spots. There are some absolute stars of the game who have missed out! Again we may or may not have got it 100% correct, but the discussion it generates is half the fun. Players had to be drafted, at any draft or number from the 1999-2024 AFL drafts Being a traditionalist, players were picked in the positions they predominately played. No filling the team with 20 mid fielders on my watch. We know some players may come from NSW clubs, however if that clubs play in a Victorian affiliated country league, they fit our criteria. If you don’t agree, too bad! Yes, some clubs are on the verge of the city or may now be in the suburban fringe, however if they were or are playing in a Victorian Country aligned league at the time of a player being drafted, they fit the criteria. So as with our draft selections from picks number 1 to 25, our credibility as a football judge is certainly on the line, as below is a list of some of the notable players we couldn’t find a place for in our team.

Fingers’crossed they can add to their 153 year history in 2026. Can the gap behind the league leaders and the rest tighten after drifting out in 2024 to an average winning margin of 81 points?

Chelsea FNC starts the season being found guilty of exceeding the salary cap last season, in which they lost the Grand Final. What impact will this have?

Narre Warren FNC wins their 3rd in 4 years and then promptly departs to join the Southern FL, alongside Berwick Springs FNC who make the same move, but after less success. Whilst this reduces the numbers to 10, this leaves an opening for a club to step up as the dominant team in the league. Who will it be?

Can Albury FNC return to the finals after missing last year for the first time since 2008? After coming back from recess last season, how far will Corowa Rutherglen FNC improve this season with new coach Daryn Cresswell? Will the addition of ex Docker and former home grown talent, Matt Taberner, help Myrtleford FNC win the flag that has eluded them since 1970?

The ongoing sustainability of the league looks in good shape after the introduction of the 3 Junior grades last year continues on for the 2025 season. With 3 different premiers over the past 3 years, do we get a fourth version for 2025? All eyes will be on the Carlton Draft to see who Heathmere FNC claims to help them score more than the 1 elusive win they managed last season.

Can Imperials go back to back after winning their fist flag for 9 years? Will South Mildura FNC look to Irymple FNC going from wooden spooners to premiers on the back of a host of new signings and under new coach Jydon Neagle? The league continues to be one of the Top 10 most competitive leagues across country footy, does it get even clsoer this year?

Another league where the application of the new tiered player points system will be keenly observed given it ranks 3rd in the state in terms of the highest average winning margins last year. It is an enigma of sorts, given their finals winning margins are 10 goals closer. A Grade Netball Premiers

We will ask this question every year until it happens. Is this the year that the Wodonga Saints FNC finally win a premiership and break the longest premiership drought in the state?

The most intriguing league in country Victoria, given that no matter how your season goes, you’ll play finals. That being said, is this the year that the regular ladder order changes? Will the league become more competitive given the average winning margin pushed out by a further 2 goals a game last season to be the second highest across the state?

Ararat FNC look primed for a 3-peat of premierships as they look to emulate their team who won four in a row between 1955 and 1958. Will the Southern Mallee Thunder FNC win their first flag after coming so close last year, leading the league all season only to fall at the final hurdle? This season sees the launch the region’s first female football competition under the banner of the Wimmera FNL.
