I think Division 2 was at its strongest in 2013 and 2014. Whittlesea, North and Stars over that period were the strongest teams I've seen in the division. Both sides lost a couple when they went up a division and couldn't make a good go of it.
North Heidelberg favourite for sure. They started the season slower than I expected but got going not long after. May lack a strong forward option when Harvey isn't down there but find a lot of goals from others. Pretty solid outfit.
A bit of egg on faces if Hurstbridge do manage to win. Don't think there is too much in it tbh. Ledger sits 2-2 and I honestly think Hurstbridge is the side Nth Heidelberg least wanted to play hence the huffing and puffing going on by some Nth supporters.
Are Fitzroy Stars pretenders? How many years have they made finals but were unable to win the big one?Not sure who you in particular is doing the huffing or puffing but if it comes to the stars best vs hurstbridge's best. I think stars best is better, hence if the stars did make it they had the potential to beat north no matter how well north plays. Hurstbridge on the other hand is more predictable, they will play well but their best I believe is not as good as north's best.

I think he meant of the last 5 years. Finals loss 12,13 Gf loss 14, Prelim 15, in which some of those years they were the best performed home and away team but failed in finals.In my opinion the Stars came up against the 2 best sides that have ever competed in Division 2 in those grand finals.
Had a lull last year and whilst they left it late, they did enough to win their final this year but had it taken away from them and would probably be coming up against North this week. But not to be.
Some would argue their best is the best but I think North have been the strongest team this year. The game between North and Stars in Round 18 was better than any final so far.
I don't think there is grounds to be throwing out the calls for pretenders.
Agreed. but again, as a discuss about the last 5 years it is interesting. About This week irrelevant.Fitzroy Stars are irrelevant as are Diamo. It's North v Hursty... Ifs and buts never won premierships.

The Stars have never finished as the minor premiers.
2012 they were still building and weren't really considered a genuine threat, challenged in 13 and 14, fell away in 15 and fell short in 16.
They've looked dangerous and capable of snagging it in 3 and of those years but again, not to be. Not really pretenders, there's just been a better side than them on 2 occasions and a little unlucky in the other.
Can appreciate all of that but in my opinion they tend to pick and choose when to apply themselves. Which is why until that changes their fortunes wont.The Stars have never finished as the minor premiers.

It's got nothing to do with week to week dealings. I'm referring to match day. It is about a pattern of getting significantly behind in games and then storming back into them. They have an undisputed record of doing this more than any other team. So not rich at all considering it is fact and visible for any match day observer to see. Again may not be relevant in regards to Saturday but definitely something the club will need to realise if they haven't already, and try and change that. they have undeniable talent not resulting in success. If the club is of the same opinion as you then they may never really reach full potential
Get over all that crap, they are finished for the year. We have the biggest game of the year this week lets talk about that.
North to in by 5 goals.
