A shame for Eltham to lose McCaffer, Still, Currie and woods in the one season - I enjoyed watching them play. Macacffer and woods are hard to replace however I have seen plenty of the Eltham under 19 teams over the last 2 years and they have plenty of big young boys to replace Still given the opportunity.
On a seperate note has the the NFL released their COVID policy?? I am told a few senior players from NFL are anti vaxers ??? Is there a no vax no play policy in place for Metro leagues?

Woods you reckon

 

[TigerTime123]

Woods you reckon

I was only going by the previous posts - If he is playing then good for Eltham & the NFL competition

 

[EBERT THE KING]

Any word on who Banyule have signed?

Heard on the weekend that at least half a dozen senior players from last year have left.

Stanton, Dyson, Joyce, Smythe and Smith

 

[EBERT THE KING]

Stanton, Dyson, Joyce, Smythe and Smith

So the mail was correct.

Anyone replacing them? Joyce is a massive loss

 

[ONTHEPROWL]

Stanton, Dyson, Joyce, Smythe and Smith

Grabowski gone back to East Keilor?

 

[Thunder1]

Stanton, Dyson, Joyce, Smythe and Smith

Where has Joyce gone?

Good to see the Epping Eagles have put there clearances in. Wasn’t there a rule of how many players from one club could go to another.

Wow, 28 clearances in. I know they forfeited in the 2s so great to see them recruit so many.
15 from Whittlesea, yes I thought there was a rule of 5 to stop this sort of thing happening.

Back to Macleod, it was on their socials before Christmas

Happy that Epping have been able to recruit players but 15 from one club (and doesn’t matter what club it is) don’t think that is right. I am not sure of the level of players from Whittlesea and if they are senior or junior players but you would think it would hurt the eagles in some one or another

Grabowski gone back to East Keilor?

Clearance already in for Grabowski to East Keilor.

Dog had me up early do I thought I would have a look at where at the players came from, I was not going though juniors so those with 0 games last year could very much be Juniors.

Looks like one senior player (not going to Epping going to Laurimar), three reserve players (one going to Old Eltham) and five 2021 U19s. Few names that only played 1 game and some that could be juniors. No one wants to lose players but this is a fair spread and they have always had numbers, will be interesting their reaction:

I mean not much quality has left so really shouldn’t effect them to much if they still have other players coming through.


37 clearances lodged is fantastic for Epping, they were really struggling. Not sure if they’ll improve a whole lot but at least they should be able to field 2 sides easily

Agree having 2 sides and looking at 19s is awesome, may struggle with points though.

Yep points a huge issue. I heard Whittlesea weren’t to impressed from someone in the inner

If these blokes are playing ones it will be concerning for the division.

 

[TigerTime123]

Hopefully a big signing for the bears this week if he is cut from Prestons list - Fingers crossed (Good young man)

Yeah there are 3 bears sides in this division, which one

The real bears - Banyule

Whittlesea pinched 7-8 high end talented kids from Laurimar to compensate. Questionable how upset they really are.

Fair point as well, pretty sure what’s come in is better than what’s gone out

 

[10571z]

Badley Kelly clearance denied? Is he contracted?

 

[10571z]

Nice recruit posted by Banyule on their FB

 

[barrelsomers]

Clearance already in for Grabowski to East Keilor.

His brother is captain and he lives out that way so it made sense
