NFNL Div 3 discussion 2024

[RDFL blokey]

Agree. Think you need to get the balance right on revenue generation v supporting local football followers v supporting responsible drinking culture. By that I mean don't push the prices up to a level that it creates other issues
a) Lower sales
b) Binge drinking before match at local pub/bowls club.

The proof will be in the numbers, but if the number of units sold over the finals drops significantly then the NFNL has done itself and its football community a disservice. But if people drink anyway - char ching $$$$ - and it will keep going up until the supply v demand trend alters.

agree wholeheartedly. the overwhelming majority of footy fans enjoy a drink. Pricing beers to limit drinking won’t reducing drinking it’ll just stop people from going to games.

I think Mernda win pretty easy 40 points.

Sorry I meant Parade 40 points silly me

Great work by old Paradians to make the grand final in their first year in NFNL
Sets up a massive grand final against the Stars
Stars definitely favorites bur any tho g can happen in a grand final
Where to now though for Mernda. Great depth with reserves in grand final but some of them may go looking for more senior opportunities
Let's hope next week we get a good day, the wind can bugger off.
Do the NFNL need to look at 6-6-6 rule, Essendon league use it? Something to think about

Unlucky Mernda better luck next year

 

[Champ or Chump]

From all reports of people at the game Sam Gilmore in doubt for next week with leather poisoning

OP's must have played some great footy throughout the day - congratulations to everyone involved at the club. It's a massive effort to step into the NFNL and make the GF. Well done!

Cracking game awaits next week for sure!

Well done Ops, nfnl got their desired outcome today, after last week didn't want Epping after fans abused the incompetence of the nfnl to the nfnl special people. They wanted Mernda out and 1 of their new poster child's in. Got want they wanted. Good luck to teams next week, nfnl, sorry state of a football league. Forgotten that they're supposed to be here for the club's, not the club's here for nfnl egos. Heard league ops manager quitting after this year, shouldn't of started.

Amazing first year for OP in the NFNL, have picked up a superstar in Gilmore and a few other players but have come from what’s really Div 5 VAFA where they didn’t even make finals last season!

 

[10571z]

Did Mernda get a slab after the game?

Pretty sure I said well done OPs.

Have a cry lesbian. Glad 45% of the leagues coaches voted Mernda as flag favourites. At least you called the year one earlier this year

 

[bertybeetle]

Merndas reserves would be shattered both Kesici and Keating now over qualify for the twos grand final as well

Yep, that would be their main concern tonight

Curious if Fletcher shook hands with Ben Turner after the game

I was thinking the same thing when the final siren sounded today…”gee whiz. How good were the NFNL when they kept Mernda to zero goals in the first quarter with the wind”…and “the NFNL were so good today when they kicked 10 goals to 1 in the second quarter”.

I love it when Mappa is up and about

Enjoy the week mate, you guys have thoroughly earned your place via a very consistent 1st year in the comp. Well played

Pretty sure I said well done OPs.

This is one of the funnier things I've seen this year

 

[HELLSBELLS]

Just wanted to send a get well to the Parade reserve player that snapped his ankle/leg yesterday vs Kilmore.
Was horrible to witness and to hear and hope he will recover fully was terrible to see.

I need to know as the other poster boy club how the Hoers weren’t gifted a spot in the GF.
It surely wasn’t a loss to Mernda in the last round that put us out or the script wasn’t followed!
Enquiry needed

Thanks HB. By all reports, he is resting comfortably and in good spirits, which is remarkable after a horrendous injury.

He bleeds purple, green and blue and you could see the effect he has on others by the reaction of his teammates in the rooms at halftime.

Unfortunately there isn’t a medic on hand at the finals venue, but a massive shoutout to the Lalor official who (lucky for Shep and us) is a trauma nurse and helped immensely. She was fantastic.

Don’t be surprised if he tries to sneak out of the hospital this Saturday in a wheelchair to get down and support the seniors in the GF. I wouldn’t put it past him
