The Man in the Corner, like everyone in the Wimmera and Mallee, is feeling the cold.
Double, triple, and quadruple layers were a common sight across the football field as players tried to muster up some motivation to play in single-digit temperatures.
In Minyip, where it was a chilly 8°C in the afternoon, with a 'feels like' reading of 1°C, some junior players jokingly fought over who would sit on the bench.
