NFNL Div 3 discussion 2023

[Rusted nuts]

Finished top 15 in the senior league b&f im fairly certain, would have been top 10 in the Eltham b&f as well. Looks like a very good pick up by the turtles. Should cause a fair few headaches in the div 3

Like I said past his best but will be a handful in Div 3

I think maybe this is a touch narcissistic from myself, and perhaps not the league's fault but SportsTG's, but it's disappointing that the league advertises that 2023 player transfers are now on the website, you go in... and all of 2022's transfers are still up.

Not like they've had months to clean it up or anything

The league media has gone backwards since Zito finished up. There was a time when they posted all the club news, signings etc in a blog style article and shared club news via there Instagram account. Was very good!

Zito was always gonna be a tough act to follow, no doubt. I went for the job myself, personally as someone heavily involved in media I think Nic is doing a good job but of course there's always plenty to learn - it's also his first off-season working in the role so he'll still be learning some new things.

I dare say we will get a blog once transfers start coming through and being confirmed. This year with transfers not opening until Feb it’s not really professional to post unofficial player movement.

Hopefully the media boys have worked on their commentary/podcast work in the off season cos last year's showing was well below par

Aiden clarke put in a transfer from Hurstbridge to Laurimer - not a world beater but would be quite a handy key back/2nd ruck in divvy 3 if true

I say if true because he was meant to be going to Roxborough Park the last i heard and read (on Roxborough Parks facebook page back in Oct)

Cancels out the loss of best & fairest winner Jake Richards heading to Hurstbridge

Does the acquisition of Kavanagh and Williamson make the Turtles premiership favourites?

Flag will come from them, Laurimar or West imo. Kilmore probably not good enough without Ryall.

Won’t be much between all 3 sides.

The transfer blog has returned and can be accessed via socials

Williamson will make sure the canteen does better than previous years.

Lalor look to have pretty good numbers judging from their socials. Hopefully can put last year behind them and build

 

[bertybeetle]

Mernda adding another ex Jacana player Jordan Young. This is going to end badly

Losing there best player doesn’t help

Lol, Jacana to Cragieburn to Mernda. What could go wrong

Just need Cloke to pop up for. 120+ goal season and he is set.

The canteen operators can follow him end to end like the crowds used to do for John Coleman

Plus a fair few retirements and not much in will mean the kids need to step up big time.

Can’t write them off yet. Still have Barton x2, Irons, Jackson, Egan, McIntyre and Swindells.

They will still be a good side and should make finals.

3 of those have retired im led to believe.

Swindells
Scuba McIntyre
Ciaran Barton

They struggled to score more than 8-9 goals outside of reservoir and lalor. With all other teams recruiting well it'll be interesting to see what Kilmore look like this coming season. Really hard to pick a standout team right now based off player movements.

 

[Thunder1]

Kinnear is a big loss for Kilmore as well

 

[HBFlanker]

Turtles and Heidelberg West the two best sides i would imagine

No Laurimar?

No Laurimar?

Turtles beat them twice last year and have recruited well again. Laurimar third if i had to guess.
