Division 4 2024 Thread

[eflreceiver]

That'd be right, spend years uprooting the divisions to create five, then end up with not enough clubs for D4

The solution, make a Division 5.

Maybe off to OEFNL? Ammos wouldn’t work, that’s why mt lilydale came across to merge

They’ed struggle to beat Broardford. Did anyone play any AFLOE teams in practice matches that would have a feel as to the standard.

I would have Yarra Glen from 2019-2021 as roughly on par with Chirnside and Kilsyth then 5-6 goals behind Silvan over that period.

Whats happened to Surrey Park the last few weeks?

I was thinking the same. Maybe injuries?

Heard Surrey Park have a few overseas.

They coming back? An Ashes style holiday?

It's the new generation of non-commitment as players. Unheard of when I played, same as weddings during football season. Ah s**t, I am now just another grumpy old man.

Don't be too harsh. Some were unavailable to play because they were queuing for Taylor Swift tickets...

OK, that's understandable then.

I hear you. I don't really know how to think about it. It seems pretty widespread and I guess there's some back-up from COVID when people couldn't travel.

It all depends on the player I guess, if you've got a good servant for a decade and he takes six weeks off one year, then really, can you complain?

On the other hand, if you have a bloke going away for weeks every year, you have to question if he's really that keen to play footy.

My thoughts are, the team could be fighting it out for a final spot. You and a few teammates head away and the team loses 2 games and they miss the finals. But it's all good you got your holiday in (sarcasm). In saying yes, it appears to be the norm these days.

Yes, we have a couple and one has applied for a transfer to AFL London. Never, ever happened when I played. Plenty of players back then. If you had gone OS during the season the club would have told to PO.

4 transfers in yesterday!

Surrey Park comes out and pulls Forest Hills' pants down. Kilsyth sends Scoresby packing.

& it would be been even worse with the month lost going on a ship back in your day Cliff.
Those things in that go in the sky are amazing these days.

I must be a lot younger than you Bob, they had planes in my day. Imagine how long it took GMac to get there and back in the days of sail

Looking more and more likely that a last round showdown between Surrey and Kilsyth will determine who finishes on top for the season

 

[Brown Bottle]

Chirnside is the team to beat

Well, that is the GF.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

Well done Surrey, what a great win. Congratulations to everyone who has contributed to pulling up Surrey by the bootlaces to get them from a winless, directionless team in 4th Div, to Premiers. Dale Axton will be doing cartwheels, won't he Peter! Or maybe having a nice Red. Now that I think of it, the Red wins by a Gissing Street.

 

[Brown Bottle]

Thanks Cliff. Not many people could understand how much this one means

 

[eflreceiver]

Well done and well deserved Surrey Park.

Injuries and travel hit in a rush over the course of a month
