Well, if your predictions about Parade is true, it is about time!

When was their last senior flag? Was it 1986?
Could brabrender get to play in a flag in his 123rd season?

Probably a good idea to check the clearances on the VAFA website so you can see the comings and goings

At least 2 massive recruits - whether 5 or 6 we will have to wait and see. Good pick up getting the De La ruckman and Boundy.

I'd be lumping money on Banyule .
Beau Parthenidis
Jason Crapper
Craig Horne( or is he playing clubbies with his old mate Witchell?)
Just to name a few of about 20 recruits, severals others of whom are also very good players

So the predictions have finally started. Season 2010 is shaping up to be an absolute belter.

Predictions for season 2010:

Old Westbourne (complete and utter bias)
Emmaus St. Leos (very consistan club who were ravaged bu injuries last year)
Paradians (not too far off last year, recruits will help)
Banyule (always thereabouts but seems to falter towards the end of the season)
Bentleigh (will be the better of the promoted sides)
Glen Eira (hard to tell, if they start well they could do anything, always better the 2nd half of the season)
ST Marys Salesian (Don't know much about these guys)
Eltham (Very good at home, but can they win enough games away to pose a threat?)
Prahran (Should have been relegated last year it it wasn't for Peninsula)

League B&F: J. Robertson (Bentleigh)
Goalkicking: Boundy (OP's)

I would be suprised if Prahran are relegeted Akka, They were competitive with most in D1 last year. Pretty stiff to get relegated too.

 

[youlike]

If all of this is true it sounds like it's going to be a super close comp this year! Can't wait

 

[Phantom Strobler]

OP's lost 6 via clearances gained 7. How valuable were the players that left

 

[kwame]

therry have lost CHF david rees also

 

[footywhereever]

therry have lost CHF david rees also

Whats going on at Therry??

Bannister, Rees (where is he going?), the ruckman and rumours are another 3 or 4 have gone.

They showed some real positives last year with the kids that were playing

Love this time of year with everyone trying to tip how other teams will fare thoughout the year without even seeing them hit the field!
You say you don't know much about a lot of sides, the fact is they haven't been on here spruiking and pumping themselves and their new recruits up, so there may be a few suprises come round 1 when the ball is bounced.
No one from Eltham has been on here talking about their pre season and new recruits, same with St Marys and Prahran. Come on all you shadow lurkers, get on here and pump up your club!

 

[bear10]

look out for the bears this year...2nd most clearence's in the vafa..

 

[canon1]

Agreed. Someone at the BEARS has done a great job to get so many recruits. Would have to be red hot favourites to finish one or two.

You gone AWOL Griff?

New coaching staff have worked their arses off in regards to recruiting however many of our recruits are young guys so it will be interesting to see how we go. All the best to all 2010.

No no, Im here.... pre-season going well, picked up a few handy types....

You boys looking ok?

]New coaching staff = Nick Smith?

Is this correct? Have you lost many from last year crazy, I noticed Jurgens put a clearance in?

Nick Smith??? you might be a bit confused Akka. He isn't at Banyule.
We haven't lost that many. Probably the same amount that any football club would lose each year. Jurgens has left but we have found a replacement.

 

[a turncoat]

Any news on the south side e.g. Bentleigh, Prahran, Glen Eira and Salesian

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Not playing.
Wont be able to with a new job.

 

[canon1]

After looking on the VAFA website, not much inward bound at Westbourne or Therry; however, my spys tell me an a Salesian recruit one H. Singh, (not related to the golfing great) was once a very high goal kicker in the country. Anyone shed any light.
