NFNL Div 3 discussion 2024

[SlamDunk]

Well given with what they’ve written they’ve recruited him with high hopes that he will be a senior player. Which he just isn’t. Just a good judge of footballers. Let’s see what Epping have to say once they see him play…

Geez burn the presidents house down for the club being optimistic that’ll teach em!

Still no post by Epping about macaffer or Williamson maybe the rumours weren’t true any update ?

If power picked up JD along with Fitz, good gets and makes sense as were best mates at Mont. But it goes back to the age old argument, pick these older guys up to try and win a flag in Div 3 then what? Do they go around in Div 2 (if they win it that is)

They should have tried to get them this season as they would have stayed up no doubt. Maybe they did?

Good gets for the division though.

Yep spot on. For all the turmoil down at South Morang, they have done it beautifully.
Just kept getting games into their kids coming through, picked up the odd player here and there, but focused on that group they had.
Only took them 2 years to jump from Div 3 to Div 1.
And I actually think they will go ok. With the a few recruits. Macleod did the same thing years ago with a group of young players and actually probably underachieved in the end.

But I suppose you could argue any way you can get out of a Div 3 just do it and then deal with what comes after that.

It's the balance of the two that look to be part of any clubs planning. Many on here who have been in this comp much longer than us (Ivanhoe) suggest that Div 3 is as competitive as any time most can recall. With that in mind, getting up into Div 2 and potentially being more appealing to some players could be part of the thinking clubs have to move up the grades. So maybe getting some older experience helps you achieve that? Then do you get some more younger quality considering your club due to you being in a higher grade?
