With Endeavour Hills running their 3rd night of preseason tonight. Doveton starting tonight and Hallam up and running?
Whats happening with the other clubs?
Caulfield and Ashwood dropping down and the inclusion of Hallam should make this year quite interesting.
Rumour has it a mass exodous at Dandenong. Any truth??
Who's coaching who this year?
Endeavour Hills has Matt Ashenden and Mick Roberts co coaching again
Lyndale's got Glen Krepp, I believe?? someone confirm this?
Doveton's Paul Davis goes around again.

Are there any signings for any clubs worth mentioning?
I've heard the same about Endeavour Hills throwing money around, using the Hawthorn recruiting method of approaching anyone that played well against them.
I think the exodus at Dandy might be attributed to Allen departing as coach, and the half dozen players that came to the club with him following him back out the door. I've heard a whisper that Brendan is not quite as retired as everyone is led to believe, and might pop up at a rival div 3 club.
Wineberg and Atkin are both good gets for Ashwood and Dandy respectively. Having played against both, I believe they have the knowledge and skill set to get the most out of their new sides. I'm not so sure how Kreppy will go, as I don't see him as being team oriented enough to lead a side of his own, or atleast thats how he was as a player.
Hallam should have a pretty good top end of their list with the Fredericks boys et al, but might struggle a bit for depth through the tail end of their senior side.
Word around the traps is that Wilkin has tired of being a perennial bridesmaid and will look elsewhere in 2012.
Also, the finances of a struggling club should be a fair bit healthier in following years with the departure of a particular executive committee member.
Hallam apparently are throwing some money around and have picked up some very good players, according to rumours.
Doveton Eagles also throwing around money to lure back some quality past players.
Both clubs shelling out big money if you listen to the hype!
Doveton Eagles have had a few players come back and have trained at pre season but no one is getting paid as the club has no money for what ive been told.
I also went to the Hallam Football Club information night the other month and on the presentation they said no players will be paid and all players have to bring in a $150 sponsor each.
I doubt this very much.. as far as we are aware he is going again next year as Senior Playing Assistant Coach..
In terms of how we (Mount) are shaping..
we start pre-season next week.. a few players have said they are bringing down mates who have played some pretty high standard of footy.. but I guess we'll wait and see how the pre-season unfolds.
Anyone know why on the PDF of the Fixture there's an asterisk beside Doveton Eagles saying 'under review'?
Apparently the club president was to sit down with the league and hasn't yet so until he has the club will stay under review. Nothing serious just a matter of a talk between the club n the league.
Old Kangas return!
David Sheehan & Mimo are back at Moorabbin word has it! Great work Kangas!
The cheque book must be open again around $8k for Sheehan as Senior Assistant Coach and who knows with $$$$ Mimo?
Dingley were warned by Moorabbin President that Mimo would let us down. How true, now the same President has welcomed Mimo back to where he belongs, 3rd Div.
What are you thinking Frenchy? This hanger on doesnt train, doesnt attend functions and is the worst example for kids around a club. He wont have to ask twice for a clearance!
