Played Northern Blues at Carlton & 2 goals in it at 3/4 time b4 Josh Fraser grabbed his bat/ball & went home.

Very willing match with both clubs having a dip but it was the Blues who got the please explain.
In fact 2018 North played the Northern Blues the year before at Fitzroy stars in a full squad hit out that had 4 released AFL listed players and rolled Josh Fraser’s side.
 
If you were to look at Heidelberg FC and Heidelberg JFC social media pages regarding Dattoli, then you would think he was a 150 game player.
Never played 1 game with Heidelberg, premiership player and B and F winner at Ivanhoe JFC. Astounding how they can claim him!
I think he may have filled in once or twice in the seconds

Think it's more to do with congratulating the coach of the clubs son and wishing him all the best .
 
Another big signing for the Bergs. Marcus Herbert Geelong VFL.

This is getting silly
What they have off the field at the Bergs is as impressive as what they do on the field. Its a business down there and the connections to VFL clubs and players dosent happen by accident - Well played.
There are other clubs in different leagues set up just as well and the $$$ come in to clubs when the businesses involved see a significant mutual benefit to be involved.

North are recruiting high profile players also

They have 'claimed' a few Ivanhoe juniors over the journey😎😝

That said, we are very happy for Jesse, the Datolli family and our junior club and if that extends to others who share the same joy - then that's ok.

One question though, you can't have a father/son via Vinny being a coach can you? Just checking as Jesse would be a 1 pointer for as at some stage 😜😜😜

Not just HFC , Billy Hogan, J Tardio , Federico, Dreher , The Blackmore brothers are a few that spring to mind that other clubs have ‘ claimed’.
And when you say claimed’ I would have thought’ rescued’ a better description.

Coach can do his Port Melbourne role, travel to a few games in Sydney, roll into Heidelberg in September and collect another flag.

Should be a good battle for runners up!

I can’t believe this stupid argument about Heidelberg and VFL teams. And trying to justify it by referring to practice matches.

Heidelberg wouldn’t get near Coburg or any VFL team. It’s actually laughable for people to think that.
Id be surprised if they didn't give Northern Bullants a good run. We are talking about their best side. Didn't someone say they had 14 VFL listed players? Plus ones like Keys would could have easily player VFL.
 
Looking at recruits posted so far from clubs, who has done the best, and who needs to improve?
Seems Heidelberg is leading the way from what has been said so far here, but how do others rate?

Yeah I don't know much about the kid, just congratulating Vinny to be honest. Bit like Keilor FC claiming all the talented Kids as their own.

I couldn’t agree more
This image of Heidelberg as some all conquering behemoth is getting out of hand
They a reaping the benefits of hard work and unity
A lot of things fell into place for them this year
The demise of Bundoora has made it easier for them .
 
Heidelberg giving a struggling VFL team a run for their money is far from the truth at all.
Coburgs last game they had 3 South Morang players in the team. Those 3 players would not get a game at Heidelberg, so you could argue that on its own is enough evidence that at full strength with all their listed
Players they would give Coburg, if not the Northern Bullants a run for their money.

What a stupid comparison, D'intnosante and Kalpakis would get a game for Heidelberg easily
