SNFL Div 4 discussion 2023

[Bunk Moreland]

Well it needs 17 for change I have been told so if the MP League decide to open up again they are going to need to be sure they have the backing of the current clubs. At least 3 will need to change to join the 14 you gave said who are open to it. Maybe presidential change would bring that but from what I read it seems there are some pretty rusted on attitudes to maintaining the status quo. I’m wondering if clubs would bother applying again?

They will never achieve required support because of their structure. The southern peninsula clubs (on the whole) see themselves as country clubs and only really want to play against each other. They were bullied into divisional football with the metro clubs, they didn’t want it and they’re certainly never going to vote to expand it further.

The league and AFLSE Commission thought they’d be able to push it through and have three divisions (with Casey Cardinia) but they got their watered-down version - two divisions - and they lost the CC clubs. Which is what they still have.

If they truly want to grow then they have to let go of the Peninsula and give them their own league back, then concentrate on growing an outer South East metro league from Frankston across to Pakenham and up to SFNL territory. They need to admit to themselves that the empire that includes the Peninsula is a failure.

For Div 4 to survive, Div 3 would need to get to 14.5 clubs. Otherwise it doesn't warrant having 8 and 6. Let's look at this way, Doveton Eagles and South Yarra are doomed, Masala and St. John's along with Narre Warren enter the SFNL. It's still only plus one.

A 14 club division is tricky, as double up games have a considerable bearing on the outcome of finals, but they can also provide respite for struggling clubs. I just hope the SFNL don't stuff it up and leave clubs in untenable positions.

I cannot see the Doveton Eagles playing competitive footy beyond the thirds next season. I would hate to see a repeat of the South Yarra, Cerberus scenario leaving other clubs in the lurch.

From what I remember…Yarra were given a choice to play in Div 3 but they did not want to go up. I could be wrong here..that same year(2018) I think they won the flag.

There wete only 3 divisions in 2008 we won the flag in 08 and in 09 played off in division 2 grand final and lost to heatherton by 3 goals. We almost went back to back!!

We’re never in that game! Heatherton lead by 10 goals at 3 qtr time….had the champagne on ice

 

[leftfootkick]

Kangaroos looked the better in the first half today and then SM took it to the next level. Heavy deck. Both sides looked to have a few sore bodies at the end

Good tough game of Footy, The Kangas were right in it until South kicked a quick 3 late in the 3rd and broke the game open, Kangas will get their Full Forward and #1 Ruck back next week v Dandy/Hampton, How valuable will the week off be

I believe they’re going down on their sisters, I left the club when I found out that’s how they kick off a mad Monday celebration

3 yellows (Dand x 2, Hamp x 1). Hamptons kids were just too quick, played some classy football. Some big ins for moorabbin will definitely place them favourites but wouldn’t write the boys from Peterson St just yet, still backing them in!
