Wait till you hear about how Tom Scully is playing a few games at Ressa this year…

have heard Scully will be playing more than a few...

With Reservoir's recent signings, are they decent enough to pinch a game against a Kinglake or a Kilmore? or only enough to beat Lalor? Nevertheless good to see they are beginning to close the gap.

 

[Mappa]

Also cant see when he last played at Douttas?

Likewise. Was signed for 2020, but can't see any games in 21, 22 or 2023. Regardless, he's a big unit !

They'll beat OP when Gilmore goes away

Teams won’t be able to take them lightly. Especially if this Scully rumour is true.

I can see them winning a couple of games more than just Lalor.

Massive unit - nice signing for Ressa all the same and it continues to add to the improved competitiveness in Div 3 for season 2024. Great for all involved I'd say.

Sammy is not going away too long hfc - missing far, far less than first thought. Still the best player in the comp and a great pick up for Parade this year!

As I said, they'll beat OP if Sammy isn't playing! Absolute star, best player not just in Div 3 but arguable the whole comp

Indeed ....bloody glad I am not a ruckman in Div 3 this year - sheesh!!

Are Old Paradians that bad outside of a few recruits?

Almost impossible to say. We’ve only ever played Ivanhoe for 4 points.

We’ve gained more than we’ve lost, and I’d like to think we’ve got some quality across the lines, but until we play a game in anger, we just won’t know.

Almost impossible to give predictions this time of the year. Teams will surprise and teams we thought we’re good l,will struggle.

Only games will let everyone know where each team is at

They're coming from equivalent of Div 5, they'll need more than 1/2 dozen players to get competitive. My tip Ressa will pants them

Makes it even more interesting as to why Gilmore has gone there. Would be paid more at Heidelberg and they would be favourites to win another flag. In his prime aswell at 30 years old.

Maybe just had enough at that level.

 

[10571z]

Reservoir with another recruit. Would have to be getting on pretty sure he was at Mont in the early 2000s



Good work by them but I’d love to know where the $$ is coming from for all these blokes.

Yeh was actually a pretty decent player. Getting on now. Would have to be late 30s. But good on them

Would be better than most of the blokes they’ve had

Maybe his body has had enough of being bashed around in the Ruck for years. And he wants to play with his brother with less bashing week in week out?

Certainly putting a competetive list together. They win a couple early they may attract a couple more. Not looking good for the lower sides.

Parade College had competitive hit outs against Laurimar (premiers) and WH (missed the 4 on %) from memory last season. If they have improved they won’t be far away from the top 5. Gilmore will be a huge factor as there quality of ruckmen have dropped significantly over the past 2-3 seasons with the injury to Morrison and Coulson, Stefanile, Clarke, Leather moving up grades.

 

[God Yeah]

Agree with all of this, I don't buy into the "effectively Div 5 narrative".

I said it sometime ago that Ivanhoe and Parade will be a lot closer to the pointy end than they will be to the bottom.

One thing I have noticed is the positivity from all clubs within Div 3. Communicating all new signings and numbers on the track, I'm eager to hear the practise match reports from this coming weekend.

Our 2022 list was VERY, VERY good for 'division 5 ammos' and would have been 'on paper' as good as anything in Div 3 this year - IMHO. It had Close, Selwood, Schultz, V. Black-Moore Moore (Coll), Drake (Coll) and a host of B&F winners for the club, some ex-NFNL players Carter (NP), Svarc (NP), Course x 2 (LP), Staples (PH) and some pretty handy School boys who should have been playing a higher level. BUT - alot can change in a few years and we don't have THAT list - so how we compete at this level in 2025 is a VERY different proposition. Fingers crossed, but really looking forward to the new challenge that's for sure.
