NFNL Div 3 discussion 2024

[Les429]

How much has the draw helped Parade peak at the right time?

Their lead into finals was Reservior, Lalor, Bye, Dead Rubber. Gilmore was able to recover properly and I’m sure any other player carrying a niggle was given the same rest

Other teams like Mernda, Old Eltham and Epping were in a position they had to win games or fear missing out.

Not taking away anything from Parade, they have been fantastic but it does make a difference to have a month to get players cherry ripe.

Again, nfnl poster child getting a sweet pass.
Still an agenda at nfnl

Flog

C’mon Les. What took you so long?

Normally it takes people a lot less time to form that opinion of me.

Correct

Who’s everyone liking for the flag?

I’m leaning towards Parade. I don’t think they let Farrant kick 8 again and will learn from that game.

No result will surprise me though.

 

[Stude289]

$20 plus the surcharge to watch Division 3 Grand Final
Maybe they’ll increase the price of beer for the granny as well

Don't give them any ideas

Mernda having a dip at Matthew Dennis. Is Morrison/Coffey moving on?

Heard a few young fellas could be on the move from Mernda.

I have heard Harris wants to play D1 footy next year.

From what I've heard is that they have already re-signed 24+ players, not sure if harris is one of them.

A dry day with bugger all wind Stars all the way, but if last weekend replicates itself Paradians will get it done

Weather could be a factor, but Fitzroy is well coached and will be hard to beat. OP had it on their own terms last week as the OP coach out coached Fletcher and set his side up for a successful day at the office. Mernda had no answers a bit like last years grand final when they had it in the bag till they got stage fright, Fletcher had a chance but didn't make a move to stop the bleeding. The Mernda football club will be in Divison 3 for years to come. Mass exodus for 2025

Are they wanting to just win a premiership or build a list that can compete in Div 2? Getting more old guys in that will likely leave once they win. Is that the way to go?
I mean Dennis is a star and any club would have him. But he would command a lot of money and that would probably be it for recruiting. Unless someone like Marshall doesn’t go around again.

Sticking with the Stars by 14 points

He will cost a bomb. He is on a fortune at EK. Salary cap will be ignored that's for sure.

Mernda in the off season obviously tried to bolster their list especially their mid field .

Keating - Ended up in the reserves
Nipper - Injured and even then didn't dominate. Not a midfielder.
Keseci - End up in the reserves.
Mazeralla - Fantastic player improved their midfield

3/4 were arguably misses. I know Nipper still went ok and added some off field. But for the money they paid him...

If OP's can keep Farrant to 3 goals or less it will go a long way. Going with OP's by 10 points.

Recruiting once again proved that they are best suited to backing and developing youth. Real strong growth last year on the back of young kids stepping up. Spend your money on development of the kids and get genuine coaches in there and not on washed up veterans putting there hand out!

Stars to run out of legs tomorrow, 2 games in 4 weeks hurts. OP’s for me.

 

[Thunder1]

Picked the Stars at the start of the season and can't see any reason not to change my tip
Good luck to both teams
Stars by 14 points

 

[10571z]

Football gods have given us a fantastic day.

Neither team would surprise me but im tipping Parade by 23 points.

I think they'll learn some valuable lessons after the last time they played them a fortnight ago.

Kerr, Desmond didn't play against the the Stars last time and they lost by 1 goal. Farrant kicked 8. I think Ben Turner is a great coach and will have a much better plan to stop that this time.

2 best teams all year and 2 great clubs one will be incredibly unlucky but that's football.

Stars haven't lost since the start of June and were 8 goals up in the last quarter 2 weeks ago.

They would be spewing if they lost today.

 

[richo's dodgy hammy]

Under 19's result showed anything is possible in Grand Finals, Macleod who finished 6 games clear on top smashed by Banyule in the one that mattered.

Amazing effort by Parade!

Not a bad prediction.

15 points..

Kerr BOG with 4 goals.

Well done to Old Paradians. Ben did a fantastic job implementing a fantastic game style .

Same coach that lower thought ( or some players ) was not good . Congrats on a great year well done

When is Gilmore back for OP? If they make finals and he is playing, he could single handedly carry them across the line he is that good. And it’s not just his talent, it’s his leadership, experience and the confidence he inspires in this teammates.

Feel like Nostradamus!
