NFNL Div 3 discussion 2024

[nosecondprize]

Really interested to know who the new coach of Reservoir will bring in any rumours? Saw reservoir post his credentials and what not on their page. Back to Back premierships would surely lure in some talent/ decent players. Some of you say Ex AFL but still find it hard to believe unless the coach is mates with whoever it is.

Well hes got balls to take on that job, I'll give him that. Hopefully he can get some players through the door and Reservoir can start to become relevant again.

 

[Rusted nuts]

Can’t think of any other No.1 draft picks that would be fit enough to play.

Sounds to me like you’re an insider subtly hinting you know something without saying it

I'm not, I've actually got no clue to be honest with you. I do however follow their socials and others

Well done to Ressa on the New Coach, Seems to me he was in the plans all along and poor George was told one thing but all along there were plans put in place.

We have them rd1 - let's hope it's at least Rd2 before the new game plan works

Great for the comp though and Div 3 looking better every day!

Going to be some very unlucky division 3 teams this season, lots boasting premiership contending teams

Luckily final is top 5 as the division is stacked with talent

Very curious as to why he took on the job. Recruitment is basically done besides the odd bloke now. Surely if you wanted this sort of challenge you take it early and try to recruit.

Neither Lalor or Reservoir have made any ground and will be more of the same.

Very odd he’s come from premiership success to a rabble ?

He could have got many other jobs. Even a D1 job probably. Why would you want to coach at Reservoir.

Word is he was coming back to Melb & was looking at getting an Asst job, then the Ressa thing blew up & he was Johnny on the spot.

Who cares why, Let’s just be glad he has taken the job and they can get some sort of momentum going there

 

[Champ or Chump]

Maybe it's about the challenge of building something at a club?

Back in 2018 we were in a load of trouble as a club - in massive debt and had just be relegated after successive 100 point defeats and our twos forfeiting. The club got in a new coach and started to rebuild. Throw in Covid and it presented more challenges for the club. By 2022 we turned our biggest yearly profit, had 4 senior sides and won two flags.

Maybe Ressa are starting their own rebuild and this guy wants to help lead the way. I think we all rate people who don't always pick the easy path.

Good luck to him and the club ..... just not in round 1

Just generally curious if he had a link to the club or something. Any way best of luck to him.

Reservoir go bang and put Lalor back into place. They won’t be finishing last that easily

A couple of decent recruits announced by the mustangs. Jack Smith from Mooroolbark and Ayce Taylor ex Adelaide Crow listed.

Probably two Div 1 level recruits announced.

Another 15-20 and its not only Lalor they could beat.

Some great pick ups, they must have an almighty sales team.

10571z who cares what the sales team did
Well done to the Mustangs and Rho getting in 2 quality players
Yes a long way to go but I say well done and good luck to the Mustangs

? Just saying they must have sold their vision and club well to sign an ex AFL listed player.. good on them.

It only takes 2-3 quality signings for things to turn around. Other players see them, see the quality of the coach and it could quite easily turn into 6-8 good players.

Everyone hates seeing 200 point losses every week. Let's hope in the next 2-3 years we see the bottom few teams being able to test the top 4.

Another great pick up for the Mustangs 1.01 for Lalor to finish bottom now.

“I negotiated a two-year extension but in October they reneged on that deal and offered me a one-year deal because, in their words, they thought they could find a better coach.”

Looks like the mustangs were spot on

Looks like maybe he was in the pipelines for 2025 and it just worked out he could come sooner. Div 3 just continues to get even more interesting. Every club trying to outdo the other

Seb Latina announced by Epping. This is getting wild.
