If Masalla add just a few more they perhaps will be right at it come pointy end.

RE: last div 4 season. Has to be.

Speaking to few members at other clubs in and out of vafa and common theme is players not playing or only playing half season cos they want to go overseas. Cant blame the kids after years of restrictions etc

Happened last year as well. Happens every year.

How are AP looking this season?

 

[Don__]

I think most likely it will be last season of D4 so agree on that....
Unsure of how teams have recruited but my top is BHN this season as early guess

BHN have gained a few and lost a couple of players. Hopefully a pretty even comp.

Will be there abouts if everyone stays fit and healthy. Think it will be a pretty even comp, even if north Brunswick have lost a few think they will be the bench mark winning 5 games in d3 last year.

Hearing that st johns are struggling for numbers so close to the season starting. 28 total at an intra club on Saturday

28 with cricket still on, not the worst.

My attempt at predicting the D4 ladder. I have taken into account clearances, last years positions and gut feeling too

Eley Park
St Johns
Box Hill North
North Brunswick
Masala
Albert Park

To be hones I think it will be a very even competition this year. Lots of unknown but it seems Eley Park and Box Hill North have done very well in recruiting. Albert Park are hard to predict, if Lee brothers are playing they will always be competitive. St Johns seem to have lost a few? Masala very quiet and NB lost a few but gained a few.

Seems a bit silly to have a 6 team competition personally see it as a off year for D4 but lets hope the evenness balance out lack of teams

Having a look at the clearances and Instagram/Socials it looks like most have picked up a few guys, although I can't see too many pickups from St Johns. Eley Park and BHN leading the way for clearances.

Prediction...

Mm which spicy club signed a decorated 300 gamer to an assistant coaching role only to have him look for a transfer 2 weeks out from the season starting?

Name names

David Verlado by the looks of it.

Transferring to Supers so could still be coaching.

Not strictly D4 (or D3) anymore but still sad to see a club struggling for numbers

Very sad indeed, wishing them all the best for next year

 

[HumphreyBBear]

I'm devastated for them and all the great people I met there. It's bloody hard. They were such an impressive club, with such great people running it.

Verlado played supers for Cranbourne last year. Supers kicking off this week, so nothing in it I would suspect.

Would he be eligible to play Ammo’s?? I thought there was some rule in place that if you have earnt so much money over your football career then you couldn’t go back and play in the Ammo’s.
I know in his time at Oakleigh, Mt Eliza and Heatherton (to name a few) he was well looked after $$

Never heard of that and would be hard to police.

All AFL players would be ruled out as well
