Heathcote DFL discussion 2024

[Trent the flight Steward]

Anyone else heard a rumour that Skinny Baird will be heading back to Mounts?

White Hills vs North Bendigo looking like a juicy grand final (very early call I know it’s June)

No chance is he going from a premiership winning chance for a team struggling to make finals

Would be strange given his wife is playing netball there and the coach is his brother in law!

Also if heathcote get Saad back they will be in the grand final I'd think, leitchy starting to improve as the year goes on

Should locky and elmore get on the front foot and merge? Split home games ensure their futures with juniors

Why would Lockington do that?

Why would Lockington do that?

To future proof the club a bit?

I'm not sure they believe they need to.

There's not as many juniors as there once was from the locky junior footy factory

Locky field an u12s, u16s, u18s no issues in the juniors at all also strong Auskick numbers. Elmore and Colbo would be more likely if anyone would merge

What’s happening down at Heathcote?

What’s happening down at Heathcote?

Heathcote are chopping it up badly all over the ground and getting scored against heavily from it. Gave up the corridor for most of the day and paid the price yesterday.
No where near as clean as last year and the short chip kicks to wide on wings and missing targets at Heathcote isn't where you want to be. Got monstered around the contested ball from stoppages for most of the day as well and their best player was James Orr the ruckman who dominated taps.
On paper should be travelling alot better than they are and apart from Saad not sure how many others are out? One other point is a few prime movers running around for Heathcote are carrying injuries ( Knees, Shoulders) and aren't right, which is noticeable. All up just not playing very well at present.

Heathcote started the year so well, they are in a hole now, a shadow of the side round 1

Wheels look to be falling off at Pidgeon Park.

Elmore coach has stepped down, and also one of reserves coaches plus two other players have departed.
Not looking good down there. Struggling for numbers.

Not great at all. Club has really struggled in recent times.

What seems to be the issue there?

Interesting to hear Salad signed to coach again at Heathcote next season. Was pretty adamant he wouldn’t be going past this year.

Be mad not to. Impressive operator from what I’ve had to do with him. Although he has some work to do this year to get his team back up and going

Yeah he’s still there , the other bloke left .
Seems to be a lot of odds behind the scenes there I’ve been told. Need new people running the ship.
