Where is Kyle Martin going?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Where is Kyle Martin going?

Seems unclear where he’s retiring or going elsewhere.

The rumour is both he and Sketcher are going to Springy Districts

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Heathmont - Jono Aujard

From Loddon Valley. Apparently ex TAC and VFL, never heard of him.

Damian Murray - Bayswater to Kilsyth as playing coach

 

[eflreceiver]

Kempson EB to Balwyn

 

[Noddy Smith]

James Appleby (Doncaster East Captain) to Heathmont on a truck load.

Wasn’t a fan of the reappointment of the coach.

Sounds like they struck oil at HE Parker

Salary cap working wonders again

Austin Smith - Mooroolbark to AFL OE

Huge loss for Mooroolbark. Very good player and returning home to Yarra Glen.

Sketcher confirmed to Springy Districts.

No word on Martin.

Mitcham chasing Sam Hayes ex Port Adelaide ruckman, were close to getting him last year

Currently at uni blues, but also might go edfl

 

[Bobby Beecroft]

James Appleby (Doncaster East Captain) to Heathmont on a truck load.

Wasn’t a fan of the reappointment of the coach.

Don’t believe he was reappointed more like is in the final year of a multi year contract. Expensive dismissal if that path was taken.

Just another Ferntree Gully boy to add to the list. Obvious connections.

Still, not sure Heathmont would be well advised to get into the big $ fights. They’re not gonna win em ultimately.

Concentrate on your juniors and U19s.

Somebody here mentioned he fell out with Ayres at Port Melbourne. Might have a habit of it.

 

[Glorfindel]

Huge loss for Mooroolbark. Very good player and returning home to Yarra Glen.

Looks like Capuano that played a bit of seniors at Mooroolbark is also heading back to Yarra Glen.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

No announcement but am told Narre Warren is pretty confident of getting multi premiership ruckman Lachie Benson back from South Belgrave.

Was a bit of a trumpeted recruit… played the second half of the season in the reserves.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

From the Div 4 thread.

Trent Farmer to Croydon North
Don’t shoot the messenger

From the Div 4 thread.

Crazy if true

Brett Capuano?

 

[Glorfindel]

Brett Capuano?

Jayden.
Not sure he played at all this season.

to Noble Park.

Due to his AFL injury payout he'll be named non playing assistant coach but they'll try and get him on the field no doubt
