Did anyone see the article in the Dandenong Journal last week or the week before that stated Eastern FL premiers of the past two years Noble Park had enquired with the VFL about representing the Dandenong area if Springvale's move to Cranbourne in 2006 goes ahead.
How about a VFL team based in Gippsland to compliment TAC U/18 side, Gippsland Power.
I'd also like to see this.. even Gippsland Power fielding a Senior side, I can't see an existing club like Traralgon in the east trying to join the VFL again.
Absolutely correct. Traralgon was my view of where Springvale should have gone in the first place, but as Casey Council were the ones doing the deal, Narre Warren was as close as they could have got.
Would still be a good option but has the problems of a team starting from scratch.
I would love to see a side from Gippsland. The best side in Gippsland at the moment would be Maffra but i think the best option would be what onslaught said start a senior Gippland Power side & base it in Morwell or Traralgon.

Casey Council is planning a sporting complex at Cranbourne, where both Springvale F.C. and South Melbourne Cricket Club, are intending to set up their home base. The football grounds at Narre Warren are all occupied by local clubs.
Thats correct Shamus.
What I am saying is that if they want to build it, then they should look at another part of their municipality ie Narre Warren or Berwick
Dolphin, you are probably correct, Cranbourne would then be a buffer between the Peninsular & Gippsland football competition.
