In fairness to Heidelberg though they brought in a bunch of very good 17-18 year olds back in 2018/19 (who are now 1 pointers) and are clearly reaping the rewards of good football management.

Isn't it ironic that the points system was introduced as an equilibrium measure and yet one could argue Heidelberg are as strong on and off the field as they have ever been. At some point you have to question the overall standard of the competition, I mean they did lose half their Premiership...

That's irrelevant. Bringing in Crosisca was a disaster. Heidelberg should have won six or seven in a row.

Possibly the only bloke in the history of football at any level to get the ass after coaching three flags in a row. Worst decision they ever made.

The footage is inconclusive. A bit of push and shove.

I'm honestly shocked Sturgess managed to get another coaching gig. Did he not just coach Bundoora to their worst ever season? Was only just a player at Eltham if I remember correctly.

He found God..(S.O.G)

Sounds like the players may need a history lesson. Northcote Park would no longer exist if not for the McNiece family.

Yawn. Stop living in the past champ. How's Saul?

Mick Gay was better.

Couldn't run a bath from all reports.

What a shame. Should also be stripped of 1999-2002 Premierships for salary cap breaches.

Money wins Premierships. Note the plural - anyone can win one flag but to have sustained success you need solid financial backing. Eltham were big spenders in the 70s - ironically the last time they won a div 1 flag. Did well to stay up in Div 1 as long as they did (2003 - 2017?) but were never...

A recent quote I heard: "It's all about the Harvey's" May explain part of his decision to leave. If I was North I'd be absolutely filthy.

Wouldn't have thought so. F.I.N.I.S.H.E.D

You might be able to buy some decent recruits for once with that cash Brutal

Is Hobbsy playing?

A result was given champ, a W to Heidelberg if I recall correctly. No need to be bitter just because Gossy took the p1ss against your mob a few weeks ago. The league OK'd it at the time and its completely their fault that an unqualified player was allowed to play. Would have won it without him...

I hope not Stuey otherwise we may be in strife.

In other news I believe a search party was sent out on Saturday morning to find the Lower Plenty u/19s who were apparently missing from the game. Still have not been located from all reports.

I have heard Lower Plenty's Dale Nolan has some experience at the Preston ground. Can anyone confirm?

Apparently Simon Goosey wasn't a bad forward either. Can we keep this discussion to DVFL/NFL Div 1 players.

Just had a look at Gary's record and was honestly surprised to see that he's kicked over 500 goals in Division 1. Add the 3 flags and he makes a pretty compelling argument.

Jamie Shaw was the best forward I've ever seen, period. Shane is probably second. I'd have Chris Hall up there too. My only knock on Shane is that he has very little Division 1 finals experience. That could all change this year.

He loved a yap back in the day when he could hide behind Saul Caddy. Knows how to pick his targets old Holmesy.

The only bloke on that list that's any good is Dennis and even then he's a poor man's Sam Gilmore.

Most of these blokes are seconds players. Did you see Heidelberg's list of outs?

We'll win the flag. Quote me in September

Ancient history champ, much like yourself. Jury is still out on Grimley and I thought Archer was handy but that's all irrelevant. Cabbage is probably a bit harsh, Jake showed glimpses of being a senior player but ultimately he was too lazy. Promised the world and delivered an atlas.

I'm not surprised by this. Bit of a cabbage who always had a higher opinion of himself than was justified. Should be a good twos ruckman at boro.
