NCFL Central discussion 2024

How much coaching movement are we expecting in 2025?

• Tigers will be on the hunt, from all reports both coaches won’t be putting their hands up in 2025.
• Metherell clearly a good fit at the Redbacks.
• Are Boort likely to continue down the non playing route and retain Cameron?
• Calder United have some decisions. Metro reportedly won’t have his hand up… Is Darryl their man?
• Is Donald in the market, or looking to stick by their local lad?
• I’d imagine if Trev is keen to continue, the Bulls won’t be in any rush to move him on.

From a coaching and playing perspective, it’s looking like a bloody interesting silly season coming up, particularly as it pertains to Calder United - They can’t possibly retain everyone they want to, let alone potentially bringing more in.

Reckon Cameron might get the tap on the shoulder at Boort, have had a fair crack $wise for little result. In saying that though who these days is that keen to put their hand up to coach, unless you can take charge of a successful side its a very hard job. Hats off to those with the ambition to have a crack.

Been thinking that the gun full forward is getting harder to find. Apart from Edwards and JJ when he plays they are scarce in the NCFL. Sharp and Mellington have lit up the LVFL. Not a goalkicker in the top 20 in country vic from a major league.

As far as Calder Uniteds playing list next year does anyone think that Nulli/Wyche imports that dont make the cut would be worth pursuing? Have shown they are prepared to travel would probably come down to $.

Absolutely worth pursuing. Some of them are getting up in age but still seem to be getting the job done

Wrong Zelencich. Tony broke his arm

Once is arm is good to go he will be playing for Carisbrook

Would be saving the Redbacks a few bucks,didnt exactly set the world on fire. Might be a bit easier the MCDFL.

Heard a rumour from my mate who lives over your side of the country (Bendigo). He's saying there's a possibility of Maryborough looking into the feasibility of moving to the NCFL. Any truth at all? Or has been told porkies?

At very least the conversation should be had. Yes lots of travel but I think it benefits the league.

I think it benefits maryborough and the ncfl, recruits travel less and they retain the same amount of teams, smart move by the ncfl

 

[beesknees22]

Whilst very unlikely of occurring, if NCFL wanted to target other clubs to join (outside of LV clubs), they should try entice Warrack or Minyip. Wimmera teams tend to target a different pool of players so won't exacerbate an underlying issue, less players getting around whom are just moving between local central vic clubs.

Maryborough will still have the issue of too many clubs in close vicinity - why sign up for a club that will have to travel all the way to Birchip/Nulli/Wcyhe if i can play most clubs in <30mins of my own local MCDFL club every second week

Donald with the biggest upset of the year!!!

 

[fatkidinthepocket]

Tigers without JJ a different proposition. Donald nearly a lock for finals that leaves Nulli or Redbacks for 4th

Now in the burners hands, some tough games coming up! They’ve put up some stiff competition to all teams this year.

The league obviously don’t think they can make it to the big dance.

Not the first time if it were to happen. 2017 (Boort) and 1997 (St. Arnaud) are a couple of the more recent occasions where a top 4 side has hosted a Grand Final

wyche mathematically out. hard to believe the club only has 2 games left in its history

Yep the end of one of the most successful amalgamations in Country vic footy. A best of Wyche/Narraport side would hold its own against any side.

Am hearing there’s a few well known Wyche locals not real happy with the merger with Nully and have formed their own “Breakaway” group and are heading Charlton way?

Care to name them? Quite the contrary, as to what I'm hearing from colleagues and friends with connections up that way.

 

[FootyLife481]

Really hope Wyche can finish off their season with a couple wins to cap off what has been a great club

Redbacks would love it if they knock Nulli off.

Got any names or we just throwing around the usual “have heard” rubbish?
I can name 2, neither have been active at the club for 3-4 years.
