NFNL 2024 Div 1 discussion

[on and off]

Even if he did come for cash, Holmes stood tall all year, polled most votes in comp and BOG for them in GF.. not sure much else you want him to do.

Anyone from Monty know why Keenan didn’t play in 2s?

One of the all time blow ups, quite embarrassing really. Berg to good today mont didn't take advantage of their in accuracy infront of goal. I would love to see a game between berg and Keilor.

The match should have been over by quarter time. Monty had a crack, but were simply outclassed.
DeBolfo was sensational all day and thoroughly deserved the Norm Smith.
On the Mont side, I know it says Holmes was best, but for me it was Nyko.

The league, and this is just my opinion, should have the Division 1 Prelim on a Saturday at Preston. The Div 2 GF, Play that at Epping on the Saturday (where the whole Div 2 finals are played). Maybe the extra day might’ve helped Mont. There were times yesterday where Mont looked a bit knackered.

Would cost the league thousands in gate takings, so no chance.

They would still be paying at Epping wouldnt they?
What is the difference?

Fair point. What about $8.50 for a can of beer? What a joke that is?

Not sure of the numbers, but I’d assume there’d be a number of people that would go to both locations over the 2 days, a lot of people are connected via old football clubs, friends and family etc.

Creek played both days as an example. They play same day maybe half of them don’t turn up at the other ground.

Play them the same day the comp misses out on an extra $17.50 or $20 on anyone that would attend both.

And there’s no way the comp are missing out on $1 let alone potentially thousands.

Perhaps the alternative is to play the Div 2 GF on the Sunday at PCO instead?

Agree with all of your points. However, Div 3 GF- Div 2 Prelim- Div 1 2nd Semi, all played on the same day. So it can be done. I also feel it’s more important to have the Div 1 GF to be the best spectacle as possible. Heidelberg, rightfully, earned a weeks break. Mont, I feel, would’ve been better off with a 7 day break instead of 6. Therefore, making the main showpiece a better game to watch. Having a memorable GF (unlike yesterday, ordinary game & a flat atmosphere), should be more important than dollars.

I agree the GF should be off a 7 day break. Makes a difference come the pointy end. As above maybe the D2 goes on a Sunday.

Not making points to keep it that way, I’m all for the 7 day break from the Div 1 prelim, just pointing out what the comp would be focusing on $$$

Money a massive factor which is fair enough. There were more at Mont vs Boro than the D2 grand final. The weather was shocking which was a massive factor.

Who blew up? Keenan? Surely they could have fit their games record holder onto the bench in the twos?
He has played for the club for 20 odd years, never chased cash and according to play hq only missed one of the last 14 games this year.

But Mont coaches not best, hence why no flags in last 50 years!

100%. With 6 on bench for magoos not finding a position for him seems a huge call.

Would have the selection decisions effected both Mont teams. Not saying they would have won either game, but they were well beaten in both and the 2s had beaten Heid well in first final. Emotionally hard I would have thought some Mont players watching as Club legends where not selected in games. Said it earlier big games need big decisions and Mont made them.

Do ya reckon Heid would have dropped someone like Finn for GF if they had selection squeeze?
