NFNL Div 3 discussion 2024

[bertybeetle]

Gilmore will only miss three or four I'm told. Looking like the competitive season many were predicting and is great for the Div 3 comp.

We copped two longer term injuries on the weekend unfortunately - but they should be back in around 6ish weeks

Have really enjoyed our first two weeks in the NFNL and looking forward to continuing to improve as we adjust to things.

Another upcoming night game Chump, have the boys started practicing the song for this week?

Yes another night game v Heidelberg West at General Chicken Co Oval. I believe three games on with the women's teams kicking things off around 2.30pm.

West will be VERY keen to get a couple of wins at home so I think it will be another test for us this week with a few out. Hopefully a few recruits in who have not played as yet - they should be close to ready - and we will see how we go.

Couldnt make it to Hoe Park Chumpy! Heard a sizeable crowd was there to witness a close game!

Yeah great night for the club - apart from the result of being on the end of two close loses - but that's footy and well done to Parade. Massive crowd and everyone had a good night.

Depends how OP go without Gilmore once he goes away.
Turtles, Stars, Epping and then Ivanhoe, Mernda, OP battle for final 2 spots. OP made much lighter work of West. Surprised Mernda only won by that much.

I'm told Mernda missing at least eight of their best. Competition very tight for spots when they get back as well

Does that include nipper and Morrison?

Morrison would be very very silly to play this year. Seen it so many times where blokes redo it. Even harder for a big bloke who’s expected to jump constantly.

are Fitzroy stars going to be able to hold this form for majority of the year and finish within the top 2?

Great night for the league mate, if i may be so bold. Great crowd, and despite the low score, a really well fought-out match. Could have gone either way.

For those not from Ivanhoe or the OPs, if your club is playing Ivanhoe throughout the year, make sure you get down there for the top-notch hospitality

Just looking at the team from last week vs this week and also Morrison and Nipper being mentioned they are already missing Mills, Roussos, Crouch, Evans (I imagine he comes back) and Edwards and Racovolis are playing twos at the moment but not senior ready just yet.

managed to sneak over to Lalor vs Fitzroy on the weekend. Fitzroy looking fit this year and will be up there as one of the top sides. still positives to take out for Lalor, like what I'm seeing from new recruit Rexhepi kicking a few. Also am really pleased with young Whitnall, few more years of senior footy under his belt could be a genuine player in this comp.

Looking at the tipping thread looks like a couple games that are hard to guess. Surprised Ivanhoe arent favourites for this one.

West - 7 Ivanhoe - 5
Fitzroy - 7 OP - 5

Kilmore, Epping and Mernda have swept the tips.

On the basis that the u18s have a bye, and the Collingwood VFL side play on Sunday, I'd be picking Ivanhoe in that one.

Hoers missing a few this week I believe, very important game for both sides under lights at West Saturday night.

Raiders v Stars - will be a ripper as both have started the year very well and playing good football. Flip of the coin for sure and largely dependent on selection tonight I would suggest to see who lines up for both teams.

Im sure he can get a game , he seems to be the most influential person in Footy at the moment

Very intesting game this week with Fitzroy vs Parade. I think this will give us an idea of where both teams are at.

Heidelberg West look like they have gone backwards in a hurry. Let's hope we don't see them go all the way back and join Lalor and Reservoir in the coming years. Wouldn't surprise me though.

The cricket club who use the same name and ground disbanded last year. Not looking good.

Gone a bit hard there I reckon Max. WH have always battled on for the best of 20+ years for all I can remember. They missed finals on % in 2023 and haven’t started the year as they would have expected. Looking at socials have had strong numbers so I’m not sure how comparing them to a club that folded playing a dying sport in cricket is comparable. Lol
