NFNL Div 3 discussion 2024

[oldtimer]

My thinking Turkish and Oldtimer is this:

Whilst we have won at home:

• Ressa - 5 points
• Mernda. - 4 points.
• Lalor - a battle and skipped away late.

Our ground is getting boggy and so games will be close.

Oldtimer - if you do understand our current injury list and those who have gone OS (not to return this year), then you will also know we don't have the same squad as earlier in the year - unfortunately.

I'm happy to buy you both beers IF we do sneak in and I'm wrong

Can I put my beer order in??

 

[oldtimer]

Who’d have thought that an old past player still had a thing for his first love

Absolutely, looking forward to beers from chump

 

[Brutal]

The incident in the PH v Bundoora thirds game didn’t look too flash. Spectators running onto ground throwing punches! Some serious ramifications on there way I suspect.

We played well today ..... one week at a time!

Sheesh Mernda moved up a gear in the last against the Turtles yesterday after they were against it for much of the day. Reckon Old Eltham had three inside 50s for the whole quarter. Nice response after their loss last week to Epping

I was thinking about him too, all that big money he was prepared to bet he wishes he put into pyramid now
Well done Reza, hope they celebrate this one with gusto

Sorry guys been in Europe enjoying great weather, great sites and magnificent food and , need to spend the big money

Injuries to some players, talks in motion to get some midfield hard ball getters , forward line is great , having said all that Reza were fantastic, is Lance the answer as coach for the bloods? Talks are that they are just falling back to the “old” Lalor even if the propaganda by the club especially the Prez during the off season too many of us were sincerely sucked in by.
Bye for now, off on the Indian Pacific , the the Ghan need to keep spending the hard earned , good luck to sides playing in the finals

 

[footyhead45]

Where has that gronk Lalor supporter gone?

I wanted to ask him for a review of today's game against Reservoir but I fear he's probably done the Harold Holt by now.

Though I have a home in Sorrento I haven’t had a issue at Portsea back beach, but thanks for thinking of me, it’s nice

I hope they find that gutless wonder in the white hoodie and get the police to charge him with assault

 

[bertybeetle]

Rumour has it turtles are going to tank for the rest of 2024 so they have a softer draw in 2025

Far too many sucked in and believed things would change . Yes they get a team on the park and numbers back for the seniors but that's about it . If you are building you don't get beat easily by reservoir ( and that is no disrespect at all to them ) they should have just went along with out the hype that things would change . Hopefully they get a win or 2 on board later in year but it's not looking promising

Some MASSIVE games this week in shaping the final 5 you would think. Whilst we wont be playing for 4 points - VERY happy to have the week off, rest up and re set for the run home and a HUGE game next up against the Turtles.

fair drop off that would be for the turtles

They have dropped off

Hey Chumpy, how is Ol mate Schultzy going down at Hoe Park. Guy is 42 and in best players most weeks. Was good to see you for a beer last week without the VAFA overlords looking in!

 

[turkishbread32]

They have dropped off

you can say that they have dropped off with 6 losses in a row, but they haven't been smashed 4 of their losses have been within a kick, fitzroy stars loss 7 points and just recently against mernda they lost by 17, 2 games out of their 6 losses have been more than 2 goals, i wound't say their season is over yet... BUT their next two games are huge in the context of their season, i have them missing the 5 by %, but again as div 3 has showed us its on crazy season so who knows what will happen

 

[tasmanlvr]

It's unfortunate, they haven't been able to have a settled lineup. This week's big for them at home to Epping who are playing pretty good footy. I agree with turkish's view as well - they have been unlucky to lose a whole heap of games by small margins (also in front at 3QT on Saturday), and they can easily win their remaining games at the same time. They do have Epping, Ivanhoe (a) and Old Paradians on their run home.

Yes have been unlucky and still VERY much in the finals spot race I would suggest. This week is HUGE for Epping and Turtles - could determine who plays finals in 2024.

Broadford coming to div 3 next year confirmed
