Colbinabbin
Colbo's netballers going deep into the HDFNL finals series has been par for the course in recent years.
This year they look like being joined by a football side which has been rated by many as a clear premiership favourite.
Elmore
Premierships on the footy field and netball court are probably out of reach for the Bloods, but the vibe around the club is upbeat after a strong off-season recruiting campaign.
Heathcote
Plenty of fresh faces at Heathcote as they continue to rebuild their footy and netball programs.
Huntly
Despite the departure of several key players, Huntly expects to challenge for a footy finals berth again in 2019.
On the netball court, the Hawks are again well-placed to make the top five.
Leitchville-Gunbower
The reigning premier Bombers have turned to youth in a bid to push for their third-straight flag.
After a disappointing season in netball last year, the Bombers are keen to surge back up the ladder in 2019.
Lockington-Bamawm United
After a rebuilding period, the LBU Cats' football side is ready to challenge the big boys for the premiership.
The return of some experienced players and a new coach has the netballers excited about their prospects in 2019.
Mount Pleasant
Another strong recruiting campaign has Mounts ready to pish for a finals berth in the senior football competition.
The netballers have lost a couple of key players, but they have the young talent coming through to ensure they're a finals contender.
North Bendigo
A number of changes to the senior footy squad makes North Bendigo one of the most intrigiung clubs going into 2019.
The netballers have increased their depth as they eye a return to the finals action.
White Hills
The arrival of two players straight from AFL club Carlton has the Demons talking premierships.
Unlike the footballers, success is not rare for the White Hills netballers. It's hard to see the Demons not playing on grand final day again this year.
