NFNL Div 3 discussion 2024

Yep exactly, renowned for recruiting talent yarrambat. Hear rumours about free boomfit, fuel cards, regos paid for, etc. They obviously deny that but even if not true, look at last years Rep squads and best and fairest results in the 13s and 14s and you can see the talent they recruited this year. But again, would you rather play with a team that has multiple guns and guaranteed to make finals and be coached by people of the ilk of Boomer, shane Harvey, Blair Harvey, shawry, Tilly and Co. or stay at your local club, coached by someone’s old man who played 50 twos games and get hammered by yarrambat.
Hursty are hoping they keep recruiting rep players and guns as they will have some good juniors in a few years coming through.

lol fuel cards??
Surely that’s not right???
That’s some commitment to Hursty if it’s true.

 

[Wastin time]

Gilmore has had the last 4 weeks off, if he returns it’ll make for a great battle against Morrison

So having done some research on this, people ive spoken to contributing to the Yarrambat rumours, i thought id dive into the stats. Can only look at this years on the NFNL website but boys aged from u14/15 and 16 transfers to clubs this year as follows.
Eltham 18
Mont 16
Mernda 15
Yarrambat 12
Kilmore 12
Greens 8
D/Creek 8
WPL 7
Whittlesea 5
Mill Park 5
Epping 4
Hurstbridge 3
Laurimar 3

There are certainly clubs in front of Yarrambat who would benefit a lot more than them in getting kids of this age to their clubs and keeping them there. Eltham are clearly very good at it if you look at their current senior group. A very smart move.
I have no idea what kids are Rep players or might become rep players out of these numbers.
As for these rumours, has anyone actually come out with any proof about these enticements? Surely the league would be all over it if they thought it was happening?
Given other clubs are attracting more players of these age groups, (in 2024 anyway) what are the enticements to go to these other clubs?
I have no idea but thought id look at the stats.

identify the best opposition or rep squad players at 14/15yo get em in and then by senior age there 1 points.
heard a story from a work mate whos team in the northern 15s last year lost there best and only decent player to yarrambat mid season on the back of a few nice words over a free feed and a spot in the boomer academy
thats how you strengthen by weaking the opposition arund you.

My son is under 12s at a Div 1 club in the EDFL and has been asked through a couple of calls and a face to face to join a premier club next year.

Yes under 12s

Happening more and more now.

Yarrambat to put it simply.

Eltham have for years. Come play at Eltham give your son the best chance to play AFL. Look what we did for Bont. Is the common chat

They prey on the fact that there are a lot of Nuffy Parents out there

Even the non-nuffies, really concerning how many parents are so weak minded and get caught up in the play div 1/stronger team nonsense. Not sure how it can be alleviated. YJFL tried to put some rules in ie. cant play rep footy if switch to Div 1 team etc. shouted down by all the big clubs who benefit from the so called "super teams". Unfortunately will continue to happen. If Yarrambat join the YJFL can only see that having a negative impact on surrounding NFNL junior clubs.

 

[HELLSBELLS]

Just for the record my son won’t be leaving.
He’s loves his team mates and his club and he is happy where he is so there no need to move him at all.
Kids enjoyment and happiness always has to come first.

They don't poach, that's just a fact.

They do promote themselves. When in the past few years you have produced players like Bontempelli, Zaharakis, Caddy, Vlaustin, Coffield, Lapinski and a few more I am not sure why would you not state those success stories.

Negligent not to if I am honest. A junior clubs aim is to fill teams, if you have had some success like they have, silly not to advertise properly.

Any parent that thinks moving clubs will guarantee draft success is the idiot. The pathways for juniors allows all clubs players a chance.

Denny Crane totally agree to promote the clubs success with Bont etc but they don't poach, come on now, thats like saying Kangaroos are going to make the top 8, laughable!!

Yeah well that’s debatable if you look solely at current rep age boys. I did a check on that and it looks like at least 11 of the 18 boys transferred in were of Rep footy age. How many played Rep I have no idea but also looking at results late last night one of those teams was undefeated this year so looks like they have put together a rather impressive team.
Now exactly how do you define poaching?
But 11 new boys into the one team is pretty impressive.

some promote some say poach.

Who are you promoting to? Kids playing different sports, Kids not currently playing Aussie rules, or kids currently playing high level footy at other clubs in the area??

I’m not confident lalor holds up with the traffic and rain. League might need a plan C.

 

[10571z]

Had a look at Mernda vs Parade. Parade looked very very good in large patches. Their forwards kicked some huge goals and really got the better of Mernda. Gilmore had some great moments and was just able to control the taps when the pressure rose. Mernda just couldn’t get going until very late where they got it back within 7.

The young Mernda ruckman looked to get injured, looked potentially pretty bad.

Lalor put on a good day, surface was great, plenty of bar and canteen staff, parking wasn’t that bad.

Parade moved it well today, look like they set themselves for it.
Got the jump in the 1st quarter, in the end that was the difference.
$8.50 for a beer is getting a bit heavy, how much are the league getting out of that.
Canteen was good
