North
Mildura, Horsham, Wodonga, Echuca, Shepparton, Bendigo, Epping, Melton, Ballarat (9 teams)
South
Warrnambool, Colac, Geelong and Nth Geelong, Sale, Morwell, Narre Warren, Mentone, Werribee (9 teams)
Altona is in the middle - if no Echuca then they would go into North otherwise probably go into south.
Travel problem actually is worse this way
Worst case scenario Mildura to Mentone - 575kms - but the next biggest trip (other than Mildura) would be Wodonga to Mentone 350kms
For the South - Warrnambool to Sale 479kms, but then Morwell to W'Bool is 415km -- ie lots of kms for everyone in the south
So east / west would probably be slighlty less travel - with the exception of Mildura who cop lots of travel either way.... at least with no repechage they only have to travel once plus a final rather than twice plus a final.
I'd say you were not inlcuded in the repechage list because you mistakenly did not appear on the zone results. Attached is the Women's zone results for the West -- with Warrnambool included
If both Greensborough and Echuca competed next year (plus Altona) that would make it 20 teams which does even things up. I like the 2 zone idea but not so keen on the 4 zones for reasons mentioned before. Maybe this years format of 3 zones top 2 per zone plus repechage will be a winner and we will stick with that. At least there are lots of options
Google maps Carmers ....... had nothing better to doWhere do you pull all of this from Gatsby? You moving into distance now? Lol.
Hard to image they SAY very little, they just don't post very much

Geelong is missing off your list
I think this was changed because some zones were way too easy and other zones were extremely hard to qualify. This menat that some weaker teams made the final while some stronger teams missed out.Why don't we go back to the last few years and have 3 zones, top 3 in and defending champions in automatically.

With the introduction of the repechage the best 10 teams should get to the final. The big downside is the extra cost (and extra travel -- especially for the Sunraysians.)
It is definitely 4 teams going through Craig -- it has to be 4 to make the final number 10 teams (in both divisions)i personally believe 4 teams should go thru, i'm not sure whether this is the case or not
