I think she's a more unpredictable competition than it was last season. Yes, a few clubs have lost a few guns, but there are others that now feel they can compete because of that. Gut feel on my eye test is Natte best team at the moment, Harcourt, Trentham and Carisbrook afterwards, and Maldon...

I do see the logic in this, but with the amount of scammers trying to get people to fall for this on social media nowadays, I can see it being a rather niche idea which wouldn't benefit clubs.

Definitely very annoying no doubt but I'm pretty sure that's always been the reason

I think the reason might be because of what the crowd around the camera says, sometimes the camera operators might put it down in their discretion that there's a lot of swearing

Well said. The good thing is that with two byes in three weeks after this week it gives us a chance to reset a bit and get a few back in.

Just looking at the team from last week vs this week and also Morrison and Nipper being mentioned they are already missing Mills, Roussos, Crouch, Evans (I imagine he comes back) and Edwards and Racovolis are playing twos at the moment but not senior ready just yet.

I'm told Mernda missing at least eight of their best. Competition very tight for spots when they get back as well

Young guy that might fly under the radar as a pickup for Natte is Bailey Jacobs, depending on how many games he plays, has always had a task picking between basketball at Ballarat and footy but he has very good hands and would be very handy in front of goal. It's good to know at the moment...

Josh Mazzarella officially back at Mernda. Still very close with a lot of the lads there even after he left. Big get for the Dees.

Roh's a terrific leader. Would love to see him do well at Reservoir, it's what the comp needs.

I think as 10571z said he'll kick plenty against Lalor and Reservoir. I think he'll also get plenty of chances at home since they play so well there.

I reckon it'll be a lot more than 40 goals! I'm excited to see how he goes against the better young defenders in the comp

That's terrific news for the competition! Love to see big names boosting the status of the comp

Believe this is still a longer-term discussion at this stage. The good thing short term is the club does have a few decent under 17s coming through but having lost a couple of guns, that always hurts in the short term.
