Div 1 2025

[Noddy Smith]

My prediction for 2025.

1 Park Orchards
2 Boronia
3 South Belgrave
4 Beaconsfield
5 North Ringwood

6 Montrose
7 Mooroolbark
8 Bayswater
9 Norwood
10 Doncaster

The bottom four teams will be well off the mark as each are struggling at this time with significant player losses and little to no recruits/ depth. Who gets relegated from these clubs is a lottery.

Bayswater and Mooroolbark will be miles above Norwood and Doncaster. Both have new coaches and an influx of new players.

1. South Belgrave
2. Beaconsfield
3. Park Orchards
4. Boronia
5. Montrose
6. North Ringwood
7. Bayswater
8. Doncaster
9. Mooroolbark
10. Norwood

Expecting a big bounce back from SB. I'll be surprised if Norwood win a game after recruiting half of Nunawading.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Any reason for South Belgrave to slide Bunk? They have a fully fit Luke Dunstan as virtually a recruit, also have Ryan Silver returning after a year off . Throw in top premier recruits in Calvin Dariou and Kane Young .Sam Muirhead also a handy in. Recently added to their forward/ ruck stocks in ex AFL listed Clay Tucker . Then add Tyreece Leiu and Taylor Garner after both being unavailable in finals last season. Have lost some but ins far outweigh the outs . Favourites for mine .

Yep very good points… I was just kind of sticking them where I thought of the top of my head and SB kinda fell there. But from what you’re saying they’ll Be right up there.

New coaches generally take a bit of time to bed in.

Mooroolbark look to have a few from Woori Yallock but Smith is an enormous out and Monkhurst is also a big out. The rest of their recruits seems to be U19/reserves players.

Bayswater seem to have a few ins but hard to say if any are standouts.

But you’re probably right that they’re not in the Doncaster / Norwood bracket.
