Marsh unlikely to be going anywhere anytime soon, confirmed to me a little while ago.
How was Freeman received against his old mob ?

Marsh unlikely to be going anywhere anytime soon, confirmed to me a little while ago.
He was good & ended up kicking a handful of goals. Provides a bigger bodied target which we lack.How was Freeman received against his old mob ?
It all serious though, they are probably not far off being successful in the RDFL. It’s a long road back for them in BallaratSouth just need to leave now. Won’t be missed
They'd only beat lancefeild and Centrals at the moment lolIt all serious though, they are probably not far off being successful in the RDFL. It’s a long road back for them in Ballarat
Discussed to death indeedWith things as they are, South will struggle wherever they end up because some of the decision making leaves a lot to be desired, perhaps a move to the WRFL where they can drop to div 2 and try to stabilise things is the way forward.
The counterpoint to a move is that it just further cements the Bloods as the club of choice in the region & it wouldn't surprise at all to see some players jump ship.
In any event, they've been discussed to death.
So how do you rate Bacchus as South almost rolled them with a playing list on less budget. If they move leagues let’s review your post in 12months.They'd only beat lancefeild and Centrals at the moment lol

Personally would like to see them merge with Centrals and recruit and stay in Ballarat league or they need to get Watkins and others to return, as the only way forward is to get some 1 pointers either very good like Watkins etc, or good depth players like centrals might have 3-4. Otherwise they have to consider the move..With things as they are, South will struggle wherever they end up because some of the decision making leaves a lot to be desired, perhaps a move to the WRFL where they can drop to div 2 and try to stabilise things is the way forward.

Key word is "almost"....... personally I think South are better off in RDFL and Centrals for WRFL. Then there will be point of difference clubs across Melton. Not everyone can play or wants to play at a high level. But at this rate I reckon Lancefeild and Centrals would be the only beatable teams for South if they were to move.So how do you rate Bacchus as South almost rolled them with a playing list on less budget.

Marsh would be slightly disappointed with their season but there's a confidence in their ability to build & contend that just isn't there for South, unfortunately.So how do you rate Bacchus as South almost rolled them with a playing list on less budget.

Yes I don’t mind the idea of South in Riddell and Centrals going to WRFL div2.Key word is "almost"....... personally I think South are better off in RDFL and Centrals for WRFL.

I agree Trav is a good coach but BFL may be a bit out of his depth and would probably be suited for RDFL. Though it seems Gissy Giants have got their hands on a good one too. Will be interesting to see how it unfolds. Would RDFL accept them for next year? as the Giants are starting up as well.Yes I don’t mind the idea of South in Riddell and Centrals going to WRFL div2.
Need to remember Vlo if South was to come into the Riddell they would easily have the best coach in that league which would set them up nicely. Bit like Jordan coaching Darley how he turned that club around in quick time.

How does everyone rate Hodgson? He has only won only 1 flag and when all the good players left the Marsh they did nothing, struggled at Sunbury and look at them now with pretty much the same group they had last year hasn’t improved South at allYes I don’t mind the idea of South in Riddell and Centrals going to WRFL div2.

Not sure his anywhere near the resume of Hodgson and never coached a senior side to my knowledge has he. But I reserve my judgement as it’s his first opportunity and any coach deserves praise for the time and commitment to such a role.
Actually south have improved in all kpi’s on season 2024 which was a disaster so his had to be patient and put them back together. Anyone who knows Hodgson would know he had other offers but choose to take on a huge challenge and probably knew it wasn’t going to be easy year 1.How does everyone rate Hodgson?

Not quite sure what Hall has done at Collingwood Richmond and Port. It will be interesting to see what he can do. Trav is a great bloke, was also coach of my sisters team when they won a flag a few years ago before he took on the blokes job at Sunbury. I'd love to see him in the RDFL again if South make a move.He was a physio at Port Adelaide AFL for over a decade.?
