I follow Lalor and hope like hell they get two teams for the season. Unfortunately from what I see and hear if they get two teams they will struggle to keep two teams on the track for the season.
Yeah fair, it’s been tough for nearly every club let alone Lalor with so many leaving.
They are advertising 11.55 this Saturday? Am I reading to much into it or are they possibly only playing in the reserves grade?
Reading too much into it. They are planning on fielding two teams will know by training numbers this week. There will be a few phone calls made to dust off the boots.
Turtles vs Kilmore - Turtles 13
West vs Lalor - West 220
Power Vs Mustangs - Power 143
Demons vs South - South 52

Morang, West and Laurimar all win easily.
The big game is Kilmore vs The Turtles.
Massive game for The Turtles. With all the hype around them, they can't come out and get beaten comfortably. I think they will just win, but an interesting watch.
Should be a ripper. Margins of under 10 points both games last season.

Have had a bit to do with a few of the young blokes running around with them. Always want to see them succeed. Biased.
I see they have named a few blokes who haven't done a heap over the summer.
Sorry, they being south or mernda?

MERNDA
Can’t see them getting up but gee would flip the season on it’s head if they did!
How’s Bongetti look? Obviously old but you’d think he will have a big impact in D3
Well, here we go with season 2022 about to kick off
Match of the day sees Old Eltham take on Kilmore at home.
The turtles have recruited well adding Gill, Keys, Rogers and Milne to their line up.
Kilmore are largely unchanged from 2021, can they get an important away win. Not sure they can, Turtles by 11 points.
Heidelberg West vs Lalor. - a new era at West without Coulson and Miki who have been sensational players for West. They have recruited well over the summer so will be interesting to see how they gel.
Lalor with a new coach will look to provide a strong challenge for West. Significant player turnover will make it hard though and with a few Lalor players transferring to West, it might add a little bit more spice. West by 81 points
Laurimar vs Reservoir. A season of change for the Power losing prolific goal kicker Williamson who is going to be very difficult to replace. They have picked up N Andrews from Whittlesea who will bring some class and great ball use to the Power. Frawley back from Div 1 West Preston will be important for the power as well. Reservoir have again had significant player turnover but the Mustangs would be pleased with their pre-season form. It steps up a level though against the power on their home deck. Power by 92 points.
The final game is Mernda vs Sth Morang. A much quieter Mernda camp this year who are coming off a disappointing 2021. They have added Bongetti to their squad who is a quality player.
The Lions travel to Waterview as premiership favourites, they have maintained most of their 2021 list and added Whittlesea premiership ruckman N Stefanile to their squad. I can’t see the Lions dropping this one winning by 43 points.
Great to have footy back, enjoy supporting your team.

Looks like Lalor have named a 2s which I suppose is good.

Yeah really good. Hopefully a few of the players from last season who are sitting on the fence dust off the boots and help out.

Laurimar looking really different on paper to 2021. More than williamson and gorski missing.
Happy for you to do a write up Rusted nuts.
Yes they are missing a few others but Williamson and Gorski both team of the year (from memory) so would think they are pretty big outs

Not critiquing your write up. Write up is great. Just an observation when going through the teams on the website.
6 debuts for Laurimar. Not playing a few of their best against the mustangs or a changing of the guard for the power
