I think both teams had quite a few missing. A few Thirds players got given a run too as they don't have any PM's scheduled.

Good result for Oaks. Did Mullen play against his old team?

A day after most clubs season launches, should be an exciting clash

I'm a bit confused, but one thing for sure is that they obviously learned from last years debacle by scheduling the game during the day. The putrid game between Dingoes and Vampires last season turned into a snipers paradise, probably due to frustration of the players playing under those excuses for lights. However I'm still confused with the fixture, as it says Dingoes V Mordi on the 16th of April, and Doggies V Bentleigh. Can someone explain or have I missed something, cheers.

Its the Rd 2 clash that has been moved forward – St Pauls home game.

Cheers Super, you'd reckon they would update the fixture on their web-site for those not in the know.

Word coming out of the Highway is that the power forward who was recovering from injury last season is burning up the track, big things expected, especially on the s..t ground in Widdop.
Question: putting this year aside, as Easter is early this year, what would clubs think of playing a Good Friday match? What would it mean financially to the home team in div 1?
What would be in your opinion a likely head to head fixture?
I know a couple of years ago Chelsea heights played heatherton at Ross St and crowds were pretty low. Ironically both are now in div 2

A Rival match would be great, St.Paul's V Bentleigh for instance would be great, sure to see a great crowd and draw the Local MP Nick Staikos down. Would love it
Sydney beat Collingwood by 80 last night! Collingwood must of had 6-8 players still on cricket trip! They should go alright RD1 have recruited well in the off season!

Bentleigh to loan reserves players to EB each week, the 19s combine, everyone wins

The East Brighton Football Club and Bentleigh Football Netball Club have agreed to an alignment which will see them join forces in 2016.
The Vampires and the Demons will field teams comprising players from both clubs in the Division 1 Reserve and Under 19 competitions.
A dearth of open-age players on East Brighton’s list would likely have resulted in multiple forfeits in the twos throughout the season, leading to a compromised fixture in the Division 1 Reserve competition and no curtain-raiser matches for its seniors.
Conversely, an over-supply of open-age Bentleigh players would have seen as many as 18 registered footballers miss out on a game each week.
Under the Reserve-grade arrangement, Bentleigh FNC will ‘loan’ top-up players to help fill an East Brighton reserves team each week.
The new-look reserves team will be branded E.B Bentleigh Vampires and will wear the East Brighton away strip for all home games. The Bentleigh clash strip will be worn at all away games. Both strips are predominantly white, which will allow a level of consistency throughout the year.
Bentleigh will still field a stand-alone reserves team.
The benefits of this arrangement are two-fold. Firstly, it will ensure a full roster of Division 1 Reserve matches throughout the year, and, secondly, allow Bentleigh’s surplus senior players to play in SFNL matches each week, which will help prevent disillusionment from non-participation.
Meanwhile in the Under 19s, both East Brighton and Bentleigh will amalgamate to form a combined team due to dwindling numbers of Under 19s players on both clubs’ lists.
Players in this combined team – branded East Brighton-Bentleigh – would still be eligible for senior selection with their respective clubs.
The new East Brighton-Bentleigh U19 team will wear Vampires jumpers at home games and Demons guernseys in away fixtures.
Without this merger, it’s possible both East Brighton and Bentleigh would have discontinued participation in the Under 19 competition. This could have thereby having a number of SFNL Under that could have been potentially lost
The SFNL would like to commend both clubs for their collaborative approach ahead of the 2016 season. This approach not only benefits both clubs, the respective Division 1 Reserve and Under 19 competitions as a whole.

The merging? I totally disagree it would have been a joke to have your strongest division having forfeited matches
Bentleigh should be able to set up some decent percentage when the intra club games are played.

I'd expect an equalization rule from the league to make sure that Bentleigh are sharing nicely

Should have sent them to div 3 and brought Port colts in
Amen, but that would have taken some bravery from Head Office. Now we have EB with potentially a 1st team that will be flogged by 30+ goals every week with no reserves of their own and a merged Colts.
They will be relegated this season anyway, why did the league not save them the embarrassment and speed up the process. There are 2,3 or maybe even 4 clubs in Div.2 that would be far more able to handle themselves in Div. 1.

The Sfl would have known the writing was on the wall early on but didnt pull the pin.
That's not to say the SFL didn't ask the question of div 2 clubs, and none wanted to go up.
You can't force a club to go up a division.
