NFNL Div 2 discussion 2023

[ONTHEPROWL]

Jepson and Sammartino confirmed outs for Northcote. Much coming the other way?

Still hearing McLennan back and Chris Clark

 

[TigerTime123]

Hearing another big recruit heading to Morang. Ex AFL player, played in the 1990 premiership....

So he is 55?

to south morang. Be interesting to see if he can still perform.

he’ll be 47 by the time the season starts ,
could probably still kick some bags.
but i reckon anyone that gets him as a matchup could get 40+ running off him as i doubt he’ll chase at that age.

It’s an unbelievable effort to go around again at that age. Must love the game.

South have recruited pretty nicely so far.

Langford - Banyule Junior

Langford also played seniors in 2012 at Banyule. Only went across to Macleod in 2013 because he was trying to get on a VFL list so had to be playing Div1

 

[nfnlegend]

To be honest with the list he inherited and being minor premiers last year it’s promotion or fail in my books.

Eltham have recruited 2 from craigieburn, probably not the best side to recruit from lol…not sure if that’s the coaches doing or someone else involved at the club.

Eltham obviously a good side but imo their depth flattered their nearly perfect home and away season.

Everyone seemed to have bad injuries and sickness this year and Eltham were able to cover it much better easier due to their depth. When teams had their best sides in come finals the gap was closed.

They need a ruckman, 2 grand finals in a row I’ve seen they were absolutely massacred in the ruck. I know they don’t grow on trees but like Thomastown with Coulson you just need to find one.

They don’t grow on trees but if you are prepared to plant a magic money in there backyard you can probably get a decent one. Just like Thomastown did.

They cost big because they win games and flags

Can't see Coulson winning Thommo a flag like Flynn and Martin did for LP and Banyule respectively.
Surely Eltham invest in the development of Maley, get him in the strong room over summer and recruit him some help

Would be as fit as almost anyone in division 2. Knowone is getting many touches on him going the other way. 40+ is taking piss obviously.

Hearing a lot of the younger talent not happy, some not even spoken to yet. No Ressies coach and no announcements of Coach appointments. I find it odd after winning a flag, that the ressies coach would walk?? Any one know the reason he walked?

Wasn’t the head coach reappointed?

 

[Ultimate Wingman]

On their Facebook page it states re-applying??

So basically he is the coach… just a formality I’d imagine to post the advertisement

Garbage. Not spoken to about what? Why would they be unhappy?
Lots of reasons why a reserves coach would walk. Family, work, other commitments or simply just doesn't want to do it. Not really a big deal.
They've been training for a couple of weeks now, I'm sure the players know what's going on.

From there page it looks a lot of players have resigned, plus recruiting not to bad.

Eltham had an Ex VFL O&M ruckman training with them in 2022. Wonder if they could get him to hang around?

Goodwin?

Goodwin?

Not sure mate, had heard this so only hearsay.

 

[nfnlegend]

Goodwin?

Heard its a done deal.

 

[Thunder1]

Great that Matt Perry has re-signed with Northcote Park. Class player and would have received plenty of offers but has stayed at the cougars

Would be for a nice tidy sum knowing Matty.

 

[AS000]

Fixtures are pretty good next year, Same order practically throughout the season. It’s good to see.

 

[Turbos mail]

If the player you’re referring to is correct his staying at his 2022 club again boys! Definitely won’t be at Eltham sorry!

 

[iliketurtles]

Hearing whispers that the league is auditing thomastown’s financials for breach of “salary” cap! Few players could be heading out the door.

Watch this space …….

They audit random clubs every year. Unless you basically confess you’ll never be caught salary cap cheating
