Who are you thinking Ike? You think Newbridge can push up into Premiership contention?

Pyramid have played and won two praccy matches by over 100 points, with the latest being over Quambatook on the weekend by 160+. Wouldn't read much into it, have played two obviously ordinary teams. Play Elmore this weekend which should be a better indication of how they are travelling
Speaking to a few of the Melb lads that are heading up the highway to Pyrimid Hill this year. Seem to be very confident that they can tear this "little country league" apart. They are however, unsure as to who they will beat in the GF.
Guru Out!
Guru Out!
Ahh flatened both teams cormfortably....Sounds as if there recruits are already confident they'll be a powerhouse again this year.

Just as i'm sure the past recruit$ have been confident of a flag up at Pyramid. Are the lads aware they have joined a team renowned for spending big for little reward? I've seen players better than div 3 amatures struggle to adapt to a "little country league" Time will tell, not long now
Thats where I am playing now, what level are these boys that Pyramid signed from? Div 3 is similar standard to LVFL, maybe a bit worse, if Pyramid are splashing out money for D3 players thats not good.

Speaking to a current Bulldog over the weekend, one of the new boys is quality, hense he's having trouble getting cleared but the others are lower division players. But thats not to say they aren't any good. Find out soon enough

Inglewood have now signed up 14 players with only 2 pending and 2 denied, have the old town boy Rose back and another from BFL pending to the name of Nolan, which will boost the boys up and about if its the nolan i know of who was in the bfl after playing a senior season here in the MCDFL taking out C/Creek BnF??Fair bit of hype around the pyra recuits from melbourne which came from Salesian st Marys from division 2 Equivalent to e grade in the vafa.... Surely there is some sort of talent amongst them if they are driving 3 hours up the highway to tear up the competetion

Didnt think that many Melbourne recruits ever saw the year out at the hill over previous years?
We all know its not the township attracting these footballers, so it must be some good $$$ and an asphyxiation fetish come september that got em to put pen to paper

I just googled Travis Nolan, very interesting... not sure if it is the same bloke though!

If it's Travis Nolan that played cricket for Axe Creek and Emu Creek and a little go at the golden ferrals then Inglewood are in strife.... He struggled getting a kick in the YCW reserves about 7 years ago when the seniors finished 6th..................
Just googled the other Pyramid recruits...from VAFA...St marys salesian...eg Marc Hill, Sean Crilly, Alastair Dwyer & Tim Waller....the only impressive thing i found about these 4, is that Dwyer seems to be lucky with money falling into his hands...(he won a $500 cash draw last year).

Trav Nolan has been playing two's for K/Flat. Shouldn't that say enough about his ability if it is in fact him. The boys in blue also had some issues about his choice in pics on his computer a few years back. Don't think he'll be among the Harding favorites
3 from rushworth in KyabramDFL(2 cleared, 1 denied) all play two's last year, although snelling and telford should be senior footballers... if they pull their finger out
, wallis will be a two's player

2's footy in the BFL is probably senior footy in the LVFL, LVFL have alot of old timers, alot of use to be players.
I wouldnt underman a 2's player from the BFL.
2's footy is just about the same standard as LVFL and they all share the same skills as everyone.
Look at newbridge they had alot of players headout there direction few years back and they mostly were 2's players from the BFL and now playing seniors BIG DIFFRENCE between country bush footy and local city

Depends. The sandhurst side we played would match district ones with no problems at all, but the flat side on the other hand, would still struggle

Is it true newbridge signed one of their gun locals during the week?
Agree, I was only a BFL 2's player and felt the standard, especially of the lesser teams in the LVFL was of similar standard.
Unfortunately this way of thinking is a bit old fashioned now. I would suggest that for the past 3 years the upper teams of LVFL are above that standard. I think the benchmark has been raised significantly and the standard will continue to rise hence the ever increasing dividing gap between teams such as Inglewood who are falling further and further behind the pack.

Cracka is spot on. Newbridge may have got 2's players from BFL a few years back, but have also havent challenged for a few years. Look at Marong for example, Corey Gregg, A.Bowe, Tibbet, all played in the senior BFL Grand Final side from last year but won't walk into LVFL Interleague side. BFL 2's players add depth but would have to be from a pretty strong BFL club before you start saying they'll tear up LVFL
