Giants/Harcourt at Hedges intrigues me this week. Harcourt off a loss for the first time in two years and certainly got a hurry up last time they met

I think she's a more unpredictable competition than it was last season. Yes, a few clubs have lost a few guns, but there are others that now feel they can compete because of that. Gut feel on my eye test is Natte best team at the moment, Harcourt, Trentham and Carisbrook afterwards, and Maldon...

I do see the logic in this, but with the amount of scammers trying to get people to fall for this on social media nowadays, I can see it being a rather niche idea which wouldn't benefit clubs.

Definitely very annoying no doubt but I'm pretty sure that's always been the reason

I think the reason might be because of what the crowd around the camera says, sometimes the camera operators might put it down in their discretion that there's a lot of swearing

Well said. The good thing is that with two byes in three weeks after this week it gives us a chance to reset a bit and get a few back in.

Just looking at the team from last week vs this week and also Morrison and Nipper being mentioned they are already missing Mills, Roussos, Crouch, Evans (I imagine he comes back) and Edwards and Racovolis are playing twos at the moment but not senior ready just yet.

I'm told Mernda missing at least eight of their best. Competition very tight for spots when they get back as well

Old Eltham Mernda Epping Kinglake Ivanhoe Fitzroy Stars Parade Heidelberg West Kilmore Reservoir Lalor

Young guy that might fly under the radar as a pickup for Natte is Bailey Jacobs, depending on how many games he plays, has always had a task picking between basketball at Ballarat and footy but he has very good hands and would be very handy in front of goal. It's good to know at the moment...

Josh Mazzarella officially back at Mernda. Still very close with a lot of the lads there even after he left. Big get for the Dees.

Roh's a terrific leader. Would love to see him do well at Reservoir, it's what the comp needs.

I think as 10571z said he'll kick plenty against Lalor and Reservoir. I think he'll also get plenty of chances at home since they play so well there.

I reckon it'll be a lot more than 40 goals! I'm excited to see how he goes against the better young defenders in the comp

That's terrific news for the competition! Love to see big names boosting the status of the comp

Believe this is still a longer-term discussion at this stage. The good thing short term is the club does have a few decent under 17s coming through but having lost a couple of guns, that always hurts in the short term.

Indeed this is something that senior basketball leagues follow. Match ratio, H2H then percentage in the event that H2H results in a draw seems about right to me.

Harcourt have had some terrific recruits to replace the likes of Huntly, Semmens and the Frost boys. I can't believe they managed to get Braydon Vaz from Golden Square, he's going to be quality. Dunolly have been busy of late, Trentham have had six signings too but Webber-Mirkin, Ford and...

Huge losses for the comp. Both of them are terrific players

Kyabram is also a lot closer inbetween two major towns than Maryborough is - half an hour to Echuca and Shepparton vs 55 minutes to Bendigo and Ballarat. To me, I reckon that kind of accessibility to those kinds of towns plays a part in Kyabram's success vs Maryborough's, as does the ageing...

Nah we were together at Mernda in the Northern FNL for a few years. Had a massive turnaround a few years back, was dropped to the two's, then tried down back and had a big second half of the year, wound up winning the best and fairest. Tried his hand at state league and he did really well, now...

North Hobart

Personally think the signing of Matthew Campbell, while a bit more lowkey than Greene and Tardrew committing full time, is a very nice one. He's had a pretty stunning rise the last few years getting into state footy, he has a great leap on him so he is capable of a few highlight reel moments and...

He hurt his knee towards the back end of the year for Eaglehawk. Don't know how bad it was but if he plays, I reckon it's a huge bonus for Banyule

Sheesh, huge get. Div 3's gonna be lit

On the subject of Epping... nice signing getting Field as a spearhead. I think the days of Div 2 teams bouncing back straight up are gone now, but my expectation is Epping should be somewhat around the mark. It's gonna be a good comp next year!

The honest grim reality - and this is a whole town thing - is that it's a largely older population in Maryborough. I don't think a two-tier Bendigo comp is going to solve the longer-term issues of football and netball in the town and surrounding districts regarding a major league team. Long...

I don't think so - I think a few people now see Morang's year in 2023 as an idea of what might be to come but they recruited super well which really helped their cause. I think unless Laurimar pick up probably another big bodied mid and I think a key defender they won't factor in too much for...

Finished fourth in goalkicking in 2022 in EDFL Div 1... I think he has to go alright

Top five confirmed for Div 3 in 2023. Should be good watching 👀
