SFL Season Preview Div 3
Darryl Pitman

After losing last year's Third Division grand final by a point in extra time, Mount Waverley has left no stone unturned in its quest for a premiership.

The Mountain Lions have picked up a host of new players and kept most of last year's list.

Newcomers include Sam Taunt, Nicholas Hayes and Garrett Kinchington (all from Waverley Blues), along with Jake Brown and Chris Filer from Mulgrave.

Steve Muscat will coach the Mountain Lions again.

Their main opposition may come from a rejuvenated Canterbury and an improved Skye.

Canterbury has recruited extensively, with its only loss being veteran defender Andrew Mack, who has travelled overseas.
Among the new faces expected to do well are onballer Andrew Dimble, winger Baden Quinane and midfielder Rohan Walmsley, all from De La Salle.

Ruckman Frank Bowden from Berrigan, key defender Steve Ebacioni (Berrigan), full-back Jon Wilson (Dalyston) and defender Nat Dinsdale (Cranbourne) have also been impressive in pre-season sessions.
Daniel Pearce will saddle up again as coach.

Dandenong Demons will be bolstered by a contingent of former Springvale Districts stalwarts when it locks horns with South Yarra in the season-opener.

Darin ``Big Show'' Joyce, Glenn Kemp, Drew Little, Sareth Souen and Shane Paul have all made the switch from Newcomen Road and will join new coach Stephen Kemp at the Showgrounds.

Other signings include Brad Chalmers from Gembrook and onballer Sam Ferrari from Dandenong Stingrays.
Unfortunately, the Demons will be without match-winner David Black, who is trying his luck at Croydon.

Skye, under new coach Corey Stevens, is tipped as a big improver, with Campbell Johnson (Parkdale Vultures) and Brad Sheers (Highett) among the newcomers.

The Bombers have lost last year's co-coach, Mark Mussared, to Doveton Eagles but are confident of improving on their sixth placing in 2007.

South Yarra is confident of a big season under new co-coaches Adam Neville and Simon Keating.
The Lions' practice form has been most encouraging, with their recruits showing out.

They include Andrew Elborough, an onballer from Tooradin, and former North Kew stalwart Jeff Askew.
Other new faces include former Surrey Park flanker Paul Davies, and University Blues pair, Will Hughes and Matt Callery, son of ex-VFL star Paul Callery.

Nick Owen (Reservoir) and Lance Earhard (Heidelberg West) have been cleared to other clubs.

Things are looking a lot brighter for Sandown Cobras after what has been a tough summer following the loss of their coach and nearly half their senior team.

An influx of youthful recruits has swelled the numbers at training and officials are confident the club will be competitive again in 2008.

New faces at Edinburgh Reserve include Lyndale pair Daniel McMahon (onballer) and Craig King (defender), former Rowville forward Roland White, Aaron Powell, a handy onballer from De La Salle and Shane Cosstick, a key forward from Upwey Tecoma.

Anthony Leek is also expected to play a major role either on the ball or in defence, while former Parkmore trio Daniel Garner, Albert Ly and Nathan Naidu have also joined the Cobras.

The club's major losses include Jake Chapman (Tooronga Malvern), Rob Kreskas (Hampton), Stephen Orr (Hampton), Clint Sheedy (Buln Buln), Simon Foster (Buln Buln), Neal Brown (Buln Buln), Nick Robinson (Buln Buln) and Adam Maling (Pines).

must be another page for doveton and cerebus hey daryl!!

What Daryl forgot to mention was that Nev and Keats filmed a short interview at the Doveton match for the SFL Footy Show, where Adam Neville brought shame to our club by referring to Keats as his "new husband." Poor form Nev, poor form.

must be another page for doveton and cerebus hey daryl!!

Doveton would go something like this:

Doveton has been recruiting by the kilo over Summer, clearly preferring quantity over quality. Their small forwards will likely be standing in the shade all year, with Mussared (Skye) and Ramsdale (Langwarrin) grazing in the forward 50 at a combined weight of about 260kg. Ramsdale's kicking isn't the best, but if he gets as many shots as he did against Cerberus, it won't matter. Also have a new bloke named Humpa who brought a black eye into last week's clash, and contributed to the "no tattoo, no game" policy at the Eagles.

How well am i going they cant even spell my surname right "Stephens" Maybe next time hey. Skye only have 2 recruits listed, i hope these two are good because otherwise we are in strife.

All in all though a good summary which would be very difficult to do at this time of year.

M Lion & Pearce (hope i spealt it right) you blokes are clearly the front runners, hope all the new recruits dont upset the blokes that have been around a while.

Humpa... First played in 1996. Is a 2 time B & F winner at the Eagles, ( winning 1 when in Div 2, Even though we were no good,) Has featured in the top 5 league B & F on 2 occasions and in the top 5 of goal umpires votes 3 seasons. Its a pity he has the travel bug, plays 2 seasons then travels for 2!!, otherwise he would be a league legend by now!! He troubled Sth Yarra everytime he has played them. The main man down at Sth Yarra will tell ya!
As for the weight, we needed to add a little , look how skinny we were last year! (Apart from me of coarse )
Muzza did finish 2nd in the goal kicking also after missing a few games which would suggest a great pick up!!!
Funny enough I cant remember the last time a Non tubby bloke won the goal kicking in Div 3...Apart from Cassett. Maybe Whiskers also??? Can anyone inform me!!!
