I'm surprised you would think Hillside might beat West Meadows side from last year but Glenroy wouldn't when Glenroy are on top and clearly were the better team when the 2 sides met earlier in the year . Glenroy have been clearly the best team all year other than a hiccup against Tulla last outing in which they had 4 of there best 22 missing that day . Bennie , Willox , Capuano , Carruthers and lost Trembearth before halftimeMy theory is that Glenroy and Hillside are top 2. Would those two side beat Westy and OP from last year.
I'm saying that neither team gets close to OP, maybe Hillside beats Westy but it's a 50-50 contest. Glenroy would struggle against both teams.
If you look at the players that aren't in Divy 1 this year I'd say 15-20 out of the top 40 players from last year aren't playing anymore.
