I think you will find that Roy might have left for greener pastures across town in a higher grade! Plenty of positive moves on the recruiting front for the Reds and let me assure you there is a concerted effort to make the move to B section this year.
C GRADE 2007 - A NEW ERA FOR THE 'WATERSHED' SECTION -
Whitefriars - back down to C. Not a club who will stay here long. Will return in 2008 back to B by making the GF. Good at home.
Mazenod - struggle. Big ground will suit some opponents.
Fitzroy Reds - have to improve 2nd year in C. Learnt from mistakes and a clean out at the top ensures new life goes into the Brunswick boys
Monash - can not have them. Lost keys leaders and a young side. D garde beckons . . .
Camberwell - had some good wins and massive losses in 2006. Too hard to follow. No.
Carey - it's all happening, good players everywhere. Kanga rarely fails at any venture he undertakes. A chance for sure for top 4.
Rupertswood - young keen, massive home advantage. Won't be disgraced.
Ormond - will they ever cope with injuries ? 2007 may tell more. Handy side though
Parkdale - the boys are ageing, key players lost. I'm off them for 2007 and a relegation battle may be closer than they think.
NOBS - will find year 2 in C Grade easier. No surprise to see them improve
I'll call it real early - it is after all a raffle for 2007. Who stands out here ?

Spencer,
A fairly good summary. Agree re the Friars. Heard big noises from out of Donvale and they will be hard to beat. You have underestimated the Reds though Spencer as a top two finish is assured given the neccessary changes at the top and aggressive recruiting.
Pretty much agree with the rest.

Carey had some good Under 19's in 2005-2006 and need them to step up. Overall they have a good top 10 but need some pace for this league. They need a genuine tall forward to trouble for a GF.
Top 4 for sure - no question.
Unders were beaten for pace by Camberwell Under 19's in 2006 GF - 11 goals. Their 'good' players for the year had a bad finals series supposedly.
Only 3-4 Unders will play in the senior side in my opinion
Wood - 6'5 ? ? Really ? ?
Looked huge. Hansie who posted earlier is a Carey man. He can help us here. Bull and Angus are big boys. They had a massive forward line
Parton remains injured badly - 2007 maybe a non event for him ? ? His loss over the course of a whole season would be a tradegy. Nothing less.
Certainly would. I think he will comeback mid year
Where Carey were 3 years ago is a not really worth discussing
Yes it is. Trying to get from d2 to a grade is a massive task. It will take time. If i was involved at Carey my first aim would be to avoid relaegation in my first year in C and just consolidate. Finals would be a bonus.
- the interesting stat. remains they have a lot of good solid players aged 24-28 and that is a great thing. St Bedes had this also - you don't want too many guys aged 21 and below playing C Grade Seniors. It can be a long year for a young amateur footballer
Agree. I think only 3-4 young kids will play in the 1's.

Rumours were around that Parton may have been Xav bound for 2007??
Poor rumour. I know a few blokes at the club and he will be there till he retires.
Any news yet on Old Camberwell recruiting a few Old Scotch players? Including 06 Captain?
What about Monash ? Rumours are surfacing they have lost several key contributors in 2006 including C Gregory - MASSIVE LOSS
I am putting them in my bottom 2 from now right thru until March - can not have them at all - missed their window - poor juniors - losing key characters round the club - not impressed by their capacity to recover such losses.
Is this the side who will battle in 2007 ?
Won 2 games in their last 10 games of 2006 I think ? Their record second half of the year was officially poor.
and while i am at it.. did this for D-grade where i know a little more.. but here is a pie in the sky prediction
