SNFL Div 2 discussion 2023

[Fadge]

It’s always been a battle at East Brighton with our juniors. Was quite toxic around 2014. Vast majority of juniors are lost to APS schools.
But it’s starting to improve, have now got 3-5 playing in the seniors that have come through and as it stands it looks like the u17’s side will come through into an under 19’s next year which would be huge for the club as a whole. Hopefully it continues to improve. Clubs need to park their egos and do absolutely anything they can to make it work. Vital for a clubs sustained success

Indeed.

You're never going to retain the top tier of kids who go on to NAB league and have aspirations for the top level, but if you retain enough second and third tier players who have grown up playing in the colours, it's a sustainable model for the senior club.

That’s the aim. Simple equation, if you can create a positive environment for that to grow the rest takes care of itself. Comes off the back of a lot of hard work and sacrifice for all those involved. Good to see quite a few clubs improving in that area. Can only be a good thing for continued improvement of the competition

That’s very promising .
St Paul’s, Caulfield and East Brighton have very strong junior programs and have struggled for years to get under 19s working.
Surprising that Murrumbeenas under 19s are top 4 only behind D1 clubs, they must be doing something right.

Highett and Murrumbeena both have 4 men’s teams (seniors, reserves , thirds and 19s) yet in comparison EM at times have struggled to field reserves.

My God son played Under 9 to 17 at the Caulfield Bears and not 1 person from the senior club had nothing to do with while coming thru the ranks.
Only Presentation night of my God Son Under 17 the senior club president spoke to them for 5 minutes and told them they were required for next year for a Under 19 side a joke of a club playing in a joke of a league.

EB hot chips are some of the worst hot chips I've ever consumed. EM $8 ham salad slider sized roll is a joke. HP BBQ burg was a season highlight and BR pies. Anyone else got some input? If someone started using chicken schnitzels in the rolls I'd consider moving clubs.

EM ham salad rolls would have to be best in the comp! Something about the Mayo

Nah no way. You might have gotten a good week and I a bad week but I legit had those small buns that come in a 6 pack pull apart with half a slice of ham for $8. Any other shockers out there? name and shame, they wont get any better if no one speaks up.

Think you need to come try another one champ! Because you are way off the mark here.

Whenever Lyndhurst play night games they usually roll out a 'special food' option. One night I went they were doing HSPs for $10 or something. Good portion too!!

BR always has a good canteen and the new club rooms and bar/balcony upstairs are excellent

Usually try to chance the timeslots for games earlier in the year when it's a bit warmer. Do a solid chips n gravy also

 

[God Yeah]

Barring an upset the 4 is set, good luck to all teams who continue on past this weekend.

East Brighton to walk into the GF, while it may be close for half a game they will salute and be promoted as premiers.

We bid farewell to Black Rock, well played that they broke their duck for the season and can re-build again in Div 3. It will certainly interesting to see how St Kilda City go in Div 2 next year, will a phoenix arise from the ashes?

Top 5 yes….as you said makes no difference, the All Stars to salute by 15 goals

Looks like EM played some good footy on for big things next year

So Div 2 has a Final 5 ?

There you go, thought it was a final 4. Thanks for the correction.

Doesn't really make any sense to have final 5 in a 10 team competition.

I'm still waiting for your insights into East Malvern. Always looking to learn a thing or two.

Don’t be sensitive big boy. All a bit of fun

Any predictions today? finals a week away do you rest the star players? Could EM knock off EB or BR get DE? Could be interesting results.
