00:00We continue our look through the Ovens Murray Clubs and their main agenda heading towards
00:04next year.
00:06Aubrey and Cora Rutherglen had the same issue in 2026, how to manage travellers.
00:11Aubrey had six forwards Matt Walker, Jacob Conlon and Jake Pitts, and three on-board
00:16has been Patton, Jack Lipscomb and James Cousins.
00:20Patton won the best and fairest, while Lipscomb and Walker finished in the top five, so their
00:24form wasn't an issue.
00:26However, they just didn't have that playing connection with the group here on the border.
00:31Cora Rutherglen had Tom Longmire and Tom McCaffrey in Sydney, Jed Longmire and Angus Currie, among
00:37others in Melbourne.
00:38Again, when you are missing six players or more, it's hard to build a playing link.
00:43Wangaratta Rovers is clearly a star-studded team, but coach Sam Murray had 10 to 15 players training
00:49in Melbourne twice a week, so it appears the key is if you have travellers, the more the
00:55merrier.
00:55Because at least you can train as a group, and most importantly, build a connection.
