Melton South appear to be loading up with talent fast!
its tiger time
Debutant
Coming from long way back obviously but looks to be some handy signings. A few quality football people also helps. Hope they turn it around like Sebas and Redan have done in the past.

Need a few more to be competitive, but a good start. Not much news from the other clubs, seem to be consolidating with what they already have. Marsh should jump up into finals contention with their natural progression and a few recruits

Good to see South picking up a few, there's a lot of ground to make up but it should provide a base to build from & create some incentive for the younger guys to stick around.
There seems to be less movement with clubs prioritising retention & development from within.
Agree with 'Bama, in Marsh taking a step forward, they should get some ROI for getting games into their youth.

I see Sebas have lost a few senior players and haven’t seemed to replace them with any new recruits, are they just banking on local talent from within ?

Tight knit group, not big spenders, tend to promote from within.

Agree and they seem to be recruiting specifically what they need and not players straight out of AFL/VFL so that’s a better strategy I reckon. I did hear 2-3 have verbally committed to stay 2 years min. If they can land 1 or 2 more then I can see huge improvement.
Are South playing any matches away from Melton Rec Reserve due to their rooms being rebuilt ?

Think they announced it after the game. But hear they might have a rethink if bodies are feeling ok

Re: Page/Leonard
There was speculation prior to the Grand Final that they were finishing up.
They have been great servants of Darley & you'd think most would be happy to see them go around again.
Kirby has gone back to Woorinen.

If your retired than you retire I reckon. Only case will be if they can’t recruit to cover there loss it might be an incentive to return. Retirement after a premiership is a great way to go out. Darley will be fine..

Pretty sure Sebastopol's 2nd ruckman Robertson has gone back out to Waubra too.

I thought Page might have had a year back at his junior club Kyneton to finish off.

It depends on circumstance really & it's probably why nothing has been announced one way or another - you're a long time retired after all, so if you can go around once more, why not?

What is there to gain by withholding this info?

Only reasons I can think of is
1) admin involved in making it available
2) the leagues/social media want to keep up the stupid clickbait headlines
Both pathetic reasons but the only ones I can think of

That was my first guess
The play hq can't show it, that's it in a nutshell, aflvic signed up to it, because it's owned by the old boys club
