SFNL Div 2 2025

[unwise gamgee]

played beena and endeavour hills in the wet this year. their game styles don't really suit it but if it's VERY wet hills are a good chance otherwise beena are a shoe-in
malvern and beena already played each other in the wet this year and malvern kicked a point after half time. Beena are a lot more even across the field and are a lot stronger suited to inclement weather

I expect Elton John and Sam Toglongs to really embrace the conditions

Latest episode of Life and Crimes (Andrew Rule) podcast certainly worth a lesson.

Quite openly talks about big drug dealer Ian Lesser and his connections to St Kilda City, former player Christian Middleton (Moran), a couple of current players buying drugs from his house (incl the brother of an AFL player?)

Calls them “the local amateur club” but obvious who he means.

Highett losing Duscher and McCarthy to Dingley not the news they wanted to hear but might not be as bad as it seems
McCarthy will play predominantly vfl next year and Duscher too outside a player in an average side
Damaging in a good team when ball given to him where his foot skills are elite

Duscher won the B&F comfortably and was 2nd in the comp, so not sure what is meant here. Will be a big loss. McCarthy only played 6 games, and only the 2 Richmond byes after first picked for Richmond, so club wasn't expecting much in 2025, and a move to a Div 1 club in some comp was always on the cards.

I was trying to put a positive spin on it for Highett by saying McCarthy not available much but probably did duscher a disservice as a very good player but still think he can be replaced by some inside mids
Previous 2 years he their play maker and set them up to score but this year racked up possessions without any scoreboard impact
Obviously prefer him to stay if had a choice but can’t match the money dingley are throwing at players

Mordialloc recruited a few already.

Mordialloc recruited a few already.

Looks like their getting the band back together

Mordialloc recruited a few already.

Div 2 has improved over last 5 or so years so won’t be as easy for them and coming from a bit back.
East Malvern, Hampton Park, Chelsea Hts, Doveton and Frankston won’t be push overs.

Murrumbeena on top of points 46

 

[unwise gamgee]

any recruitment news outside of mordialloc?

 

[SaintsMagee]

How much are HP with all their recruits winning the league by next year?

Are they all coming back to hopefully get a easy flag which I don’t think will be easy for anyone next year or for some other reason are they getting a few back m8

Good players but not game breakers. Most are in their 30's now. Might attract some bigger names who knows.

Mordi would appear to be coming from a long way back, even allowing for the drop from Div 1. Winless with a percentage below 20 is pretty woeful. You'd think their signings to date might make them semi-competitive at best.

Hp picking up some good players Hawkin’s from Vermont and was there first ruck he also played at vfl sandy and box hill Haywood is back after a year at ellinbank and 3 others from noble park Liam Scott is one of them who is a chf chb and one of nobles best players plus a couple more so far from mpnfl and think they are still talking to a few more

Hawkins is a very very good player and a very good pickup. His phone would’ve run hot after Vermont signed Buxton. It’s an upgrade for Vermont but Hawkins was absolutely no slouch at EFNL Premier level. I think he’ll be dominant at Div 2 level.

John Brown announced as the new Senior Coach of East Malvern. Former coach at Frankston Bombers and prior to that Rowville.

A handy addition at the zoo.

He left Frankston Bombers very suddenly last pre season

Deakyn smith not returning to Doveton big loss was arguably there best player second half of the year
