And if it’s a fact which boss???
Is Whittnall bringing his son to Lalor? Looked very good for North, couldn’t possibly imagine he’d go to Lalor.

Old Paradians has voted to leave the Victorian Amateur Football Association after 94 years
Amateur club Old Paradians has voted to leave the VAFA after 94 years and will attempt to join a local competition for the 2024 season.Old Paradians has decided to part ways with the Victorian Amateurs after 94 years.
The VAFA confirmed the club had voted to move to the Northern Football Netball League in 2024.
It follows fellow VAFA club Ivanhoe’s decision to join the NFNL with both clubs set to present their cases this month.
Old Paradians joined the amateurs when it was formed in 1929 and has won 11 premierships, the latest in 2015 when it beat the Hoers.
The VAFA released a statement on Monday night, confirming its bid to keep the Raiders had been rejected.
“The VAFA has been informed by Simon Vincent, president of Old Paradians, that his committee met last week and resolved to move their club into the Northern Football Netball League,” it read.
“As a club with a strong and successful 94-year history in the amateurs, and with the opportunity to capitalise on their existing player pathways through Parade Secondary College and their junior club, Parade St Damians, the VAFA is extremely disappointed to see the Old Paradians choose to depart our competition.
“VAFA representatives, lead by president George Voyage … with the backing of several VAFA clubs, made a strong submission to members of the committee, outlining numerous levels of support to help Old Paradians through its current challenges, but that offer was ultimately rejected.
“The VAFA Board has yet to convene a meeting to assess this latest decision.”
Old Paradians has been contacted for comment.
Our statement is available at oldparadiansafc.com and the usual social media outlets (@oldparadiansfc).
Still plenty of water to go under the bridge, but looking forward to joining the "local ranks" if the league and clubs will have us
The club has to be accepted by the NFNL first (meeting tomorrow, dunno exactly when they decide yay or nay).
Then the VAFA has to either clear them or refuse to clear them.
Reading between the lines, I would not be surprised if the VAFA refuses the transfer.
Logic would say AFL Vic will them clear them on appeal because moving to the NFNL will not be of detriment to the VAFA.
This will take a few weeks at least, I reckon.
The VAFA statement is a world away from what was written about Ivanhoe, hence my suspicion that it won't be a quick process.

If they don’t owe money they won’t be held.
The major issue is the fixture. 11 teams is a disaster.
Last thing we need is an uneven draw.
Last year, AFL Vic blocked Loddon Valley league clubs Marong and Maiden Gully-YCW from crossing to the Heathcote league because of the belief that it would have a detrimental effect on the future prospects of the LVFNL.
In this case, that line of thinking does not apply so they should be accepted.

Why do south Morang end up in this conversation, we left you all behind last year, and after what I heard come out of some “past” Laurimar administration towards some of there former junior players on Saturday was absolutely disgraceful and very sad, see the difference between us and Laurimar when we went to Div 2 a lot of our gun juniors came back because we never treated them like the way I heard on the weekend, and the funniest thing I have seen written in here since Saturday is that Laurimar could play Div 2 finals next year. Our South boys would wipe the floor by 20 goals against that Laurimar side that ran out there on the weekend if they were to play today.
And to top it off Laurimar are celebrating on the back of a mark that wasn’t even a mark. Hahahaha
Josh leather best on ground the only 3 things he done all day was drop a ball cold in the goal square which got roved and goaled from, a tunnel ball through his legs (throw) and another goal.. both ignored by the umpires (sad), oh and he scored a goal against a ruckman that had just stuffed his leg wow BOG hahahahahahaha.
And then the mark well that is what it is, but the fact 3 umpires allowed over 2 minutes for him to take the shot is a disgrace, he should of been called to play on, from what I seen in this game 2 minutes was a long time so they should of been dressed down after the game if that happened. And maybe Mernda should of stayed on the ground for the presentation but I left after the 3rd time the announcer asked them to come over to the presentation area, respect is a 2 way street, and being gracious in victory and waiting till the presentation is over to continue your celebration may have been warranted, after all Laurimar know more than anyone what the feeling is like (2022) hehehe, thanks for giving me a platform into this convo and all I can say is I can’t wait to 2024 to put you all back in your boxes, oh and don’t forget to bring your video expert with you so he can watch every game and dob in anyone who sneezes near one of your players.
See ya next year , even if it was under false pretences LMFAO

For someone who "left you all behind last year", you seem to be showing an excessive amount of interest in a Division 3 match.
You should have been at the Division 2 finals instead.

Would of been at the Moonee valley races , if I knew Laurimar was going to win. I will admit I thought mernda would get up. Haha

Interesting and scathing remarks re laurimar. Pretty decent write up and be interesting to see the follow up to this . To be honest it’s not warranted and maybe explains why morang get bought into this .not sure why you’d bring up stuff facts are bloke got BOG and laurimar won end of story . Move on . I’m pretty sure to comment on someone else’s club is ordinary after what’s gone on there over the years but anyway each to their own

Time for the tough conversations with the obvious clubs i would have thought.
11 teams is not good at all.
Couldn’t agree more.

I don't know what would hurt more knowing you lost because of an incorrect call, or knowing you spent a heap over the salary cap and your still no better off. Mernda handed Robert Fletcher the cash needed to win a flag and it still wasn't good enough, should've slipped a $50 to the young lady umpire might have done the trick. Now all we need is a financial audit to top this year off.
When can you purchase the game online, I want to watch the POWER win again.
LAURIMAR
POWER =1
ROBERT
FLETCHER = 0

Don't think anyone would miss either of them at this point, 3-4 seasons of them being percentage boosters and determining leading goal kickers.

Do either Ressa or Lalor have any junior teams and if not the NFL and AFL should be working with them to rebuild.

If OP and Ivanhoe both come in does the league explore floating the option to Mernda to go up or Epping to survive relegation?
Someone didnt like the truth.

No chance. Div 2 will remain at 10 teams.
