Lol. I hope they show him this. He's looked like he's 40 since he was 18. He debuted as a 16yr old in 2015 along with McCormack and Wignell. Their core group of mates and their younger brothers are the mainstays of the Donvale team. I think you'll find only guys 27yrs old is Holland Otten Murphy...
Great Summary. Unreal Div 3 GF. And well done to Surrey Park, not just this year but their last 5 years really. Finally getting those juniors to stick around and filter through. Amazing what happens when strong juniors stick around. They'll go well next year in Div 2. Donvale are stiff. It was...
Pretty sure it's being challenged.
If unsuccessful they might pull the trigger on Charlie Kent. Hasn't played since doing his ACL mid season last year. Very Handy Defender. Kept Williamson from Waverley goaless in the 2022 GF
A bit off topic here but How's the effort of Josh Djordevic from Donvales under 15s. He won the comp bnf playing 13 games and polling 39/39. His 3rd in a row and I'm not sure but I think he won the award last year and polled 42/42 votes (yes I do know he's the interleague captain). I wonder if...
Agree with Above. Knox are definitely the inform team right now but I think all things even its going to be between Donvale and Surrey Park. Would love to see them on a big ground like Ringwood going H2H. Of Donvales recruits id say Zalac plays but once Donvale gets Haig, Mill, Lyall and Day...
Agree. Always had a Great Junior Program. I dont think this year will be their year in terms of seniors. Donvale just that little bit more mature and are easily ready for the next division, which is a credit to their junior program of the past 10-15 years as something like 20 of their 22 on the...
I thought the same thing. who do they replace. I believe its both Touts and Zalac from Blackburn.
Dont think Billy McCormack will come back this season
McCormack yes. He was there on the weekend but was only a rumour. I still believe hes at Central Districts for the rest of the year.
I believe its Tout from Warrandyte. He was Co-Captain they were saying
Just what i heard. Hard without the clearances being updated. Yeah opposition Captain, been training for a couple of weeks. i think they said hes been cleared
Heard today they picked up 3 players during the week.
2 x from Premier
1 x Opposition Capt
and possibly a returning SANFL player.
Disappointing that one of their club greats Matt Leardi did his ACL last week against Surrey Park. Just short of 200 games
From what ive heard from Donvale and the players they had out were:
Nathan Mill (CHB. T.O.T.Y and Bnf Winner)
Mihaele Zalac ( Inside Mid- 2023 Premiership Player)
Harry Ablett ( Backman. 2023 Premiership Player)
Ben Lyall (BnF Winner)
Dylan Sinosich (Inside Mid, 2023 Premiership player. I think...
Great Summation. Watched the 1st half of Rowville and East Ringwood. ER seriously impressive, they would Love to have Lowson fulltime, different gravy, he was outstanding. Both Bennell's have been huge pick ups aswell
Also watched some of the 2nd half of Donvale vs Fairpark, Left when Donvale...
Who Beats Donvale in 3rd Div? They've lost 1 game in in their last 28 and heard they had 8 of the best 22 out yesterday.
Other than Surrey Park nobody has got that close in 2 years
Does anyone actually know what they get paid? I would happily Goal umpire on a saturday ( too unfit to umpire) if it was worth it. would happily go to a training session every now and then but after playing footy for 30 years i dont think its the hardest job in the world
Another Great day for footy. Some Great games across the divisions.
Noble Park To continue Vermonts Poor start
Rowville Just over Balwyn ( Match of the Round)
Park Orchards At Home Over Sth Belgrave
Mulgrave Over East Burwood
Lilydale to make it 2 on the bounce over The Basin
Surrey Park to...
Dont rate Sacking a coach after 4 games. He got to that club after an exodus of players and did well last season with the Young List he had. They recruited Dads army which hasnt worked aswell. From the outside it looks like hes the scapegoat.
I hope Wadey gets another crack at it, He's an...
Yes, I agree Coldstreams 2's improvement is Massive. I think though if you speak to someone at Donvale you'll find that they are missing 8 regular senior players obviously that means 8 regular reserves players are promoted. They were also without a further 5 regular reserve players and had quite...
