Leo Connolly announced by De La yesterday, a very handy pick up. Spent 3 years at the Saints but only played 7 games in that time, runner up in Sandringham's B&F last season.
He’s a lovely kid to boot, SKOB Old Boy Walshy bringing the goods to Dairy Bell!
 
TOS only played a handful of games last year due to his body. I don't know if he's going around again or not as his business soaks up most his time (as it should). I did see Hugh Sandilands (who played some great footy last year) was at pre-season training already, so it's awesome to have his experience again.
Good man Tos

I think you'll find it's the local Wangaratta Optus shop, but I agree, they must not have a salary cap up there.
Yeah, right, I thought maybe that might be the case but wasn't sure if the shop could authorize the companies logo being on a football Guernsey lol

A lot of the gun Murray bushrangers end up staying for huge cash even if they have moved to melbourne, plus if they played juniors there they are only 1 point of course

No one asked for it, but I've done it anyway.

2024 ladder prediction

1 Beaumaris
2 De La Salle
3 Old Haileybury
4 Old Geelong
5 Caulfield
6 Old Ivanhoe
7 Hedge Burners
8 Williamstown
9 Old Camberwell
10 St Bedes

Beaumaris - had it not been for the player points fiasco they should have finished top 2 and a potential promotion
De La - Showed some great signs last season and are honest as the day is long. Any list improvement and they are top 2 lock
OH - Unlucky not to avoid the drop, only % will keep them out of the top 2 come seasons end. A very good outfit that if 2022 form is shown will be right in the mix for a quick return.
OG's - Was really impressed by there output in B last season after being promoted. Fell away a little towards the end of the season to miss out on finals. Any sign of an uptick and they are a lock for the 4.
CG - All depends on who is still on the list, only the one win last season. I may have them higher than they should be, but I'll back them in.
OI - A club that we welcome back to B after a number of years in the wilderness, always tough to beat at Pine Lodge and often a bigger bodied side that prevails in the heavy conditions. Could be a smoky for the 4!
Hedge Burners - Always competitive, possibly another rebuilding year, will pull off an upset but also be upset themselves during the year.
Willi - 6 goal better side at home, 10 goal worse side away from it. Unless they have tapped into the VFL side for a few nominated players I think it's a mid/lower table finish once again
OC's - The unknown quantity, personally never seen them play or played against them, the gap from C to B isn't as big as people think but I've got them troubling teams but not quite getting over the line, will be in a relegation scrap
St Bedes - From all reports they will have a very young side, a mass exodus over the summer could leave them a little thin on experience. Always tough to beat at home, but Prem C awaits them in 2025 (Maybe Bevo will be available to comeback?)

Good to start the way too early predictions

1 Old Haileybury - While there are so many Seculls, they'll go close
2 De La Salle - Building and topping up nicely
3 Old Ivanhoe - Could really shake it up and flying as a club (loads of depth)
4 Caulfield - If top end stays fit they'll be in the mix (depth an issue still)
5 Beaumaris - Could easily make top 4, if they haven't lost any more talent
6 Old Geelong - Could also make the 4 if things go there way
7 Hedge Burners - They'll surprise plenty but are still on the rebuild
8 Williamstown - Never sure. Lots of depth, just not sure they have enough top end talent
9 Old Camberwell - Did well to come up, but this is harder
10 St Bedes - Just lost too many senior players
