NFL Div 1 2017

[Frontancenter]

Relatively simple fix; you must have 19s to be elevated to division 1. Announce it now and it gives clubs such as Heidelberg and Hurstbridge a full on/off season to make sure they field 3 sides.

 

[Frontancenter]

If only it were that simple drainbead, Hurstbridge have no U19s this year because couldn't get enough kids to form a side in U10's. They've tried to put a team together for that age group every year since without success. Just unfortunate that it's coincided with promotion to Div 1, next year will be fielding U19s

Saw the results. What happened to hberg on the weekend? Were leading most of the game

Not sure where you're getting your info bigstix, Hberg did skip out to a decent lead in the 2nd Qtr but Hbridge had pulled that back by 1/2 time, see sawing lead in the 3rd with Hbridge a point up at 3/4 time and ran away with it in the last. As for Treloar, topped their goal kicking with 4, how many did your legless dog get?

Div 2 relegation battle between berg and eltham will be interesting. Seems like berg are just a shadow of their former selves. Are players happy there?

Long way to go yet, Witch el be interesting to see how it all plays out.

 

[NFL INSIDER]

Interesting to note the amount of players who have crossed the road all looking to post and bag HFC.
Boys I would concentrate on your next 3 - 4 games before getting ahead of yourselves.

Don't think Heidelberg will be fighting for relegation anytime soon mate. As quazimodo said, look at those inclusions still to come.

Yeah I Didn't read too much into it mate. Just saw the 1st half score. Will keep updated next time. As for trealor good on him, Hasn't done much since 2015

I have been looking at round 4 results and in particular the "player points allocation". That is total points/budget for each team.
WPL 47/47
W'sea 29/45
Hbridge 37/45
Hberg 40/45
Elth 31/45
Npark 33/45
Mac 36/45
Boro 37/45
Mont 37/45
Bdoora 46/46
Can some-one explain to me why WPL and Bdoora have have a bigger budget than the other teams.

On a separate matter why is there no game next week over the three divisions. Surely the Inter- League games are not that important.

I can cop that

Concerning lack of depth/numbers at Mont, I noticed the 2's started the game with only 16/17 on the ground before some 19's gave them a chop out. How can a Div 1 club not have a full squad in the reserves at round 4?

Very easy, Injuries in the Seniors and Reserves. It's happening at a few clubs I hear even Eltham and Heidelberg have had quite a few this year.

The 23rd man rule- points don't count for 23rd player

So.....if points don't count they are over.... Clearly WPL have manipulated they rule here and that's not on the interest of the concept.

Agree, injures are hitting a few clubs and no doubt when the numbers return sides like Heidelberg will show they are still a team that will influence the finals.

Out of interest..anyone know when was the last time a newly promoted club defeated the reigning premier in Div 1 in their first meeting?

Mate he is an outside mud slinger , simply posting to provoke . The less attention he gets the better.

The big issue is why do WPL and Bundoora have more player points then the rest. I thought the idea of it was to create a more Le el playing field. Doesn't seem like it is. I think this should be raised to the NFL.

While they are looking into that, also consider if you should be allowed a 23rd man if you don't field an u19 side.

How do sides without 19's field a 23rd man anyhow?

Pick a player who is fits the under 19 category. Can be someone in the reserves or u17's if need be.

Not sure if that's the right call. It's not like there would be no 19s sticking around after the 19s didn't get up, great way to reward some of the young fellas for sticking around and could fast track their development by giving them a game where they might not have been a look in otherwise.
