Premier 2024 discussion

A couple of big games this Round. Balwyn (4) v East Ringwood (1). Vermont (3) v East Donc (2). Noble Park (6) v Blackburn (7), this is a big game for both teams, whoever loses is going to start to lose contact with the 5. For Blackburn, if they lose, it looks like their season will be cooked.

In yesterdays game (Vermont v Rowville), I think there were a few cards shown and I thought some reports. Not sure as nothing in the Tribunal listing as yet.

Watching the game yesterday on YouTube. I was impressed by 2 & 3 for Vermont, they will be a force next year and beyond

You're right it will be 6 for a 12 team comp. 5 next year. They might still be slight chance even if they lose. It might go down to the last 2 rounds of the season.

Doncaster are cooked? Div1 in 2024?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I would say the current bottom 5 are all still unsafe. There are still 7 games left but yeah Doncaster are really in deep s**t, that percentage is just disastrous, it’s like another game they have to win to overcome it. They’ve scored under 500 points in 11 games. Pretty much impossible to see them climbing out of it.

I think Vermont are going to be a power again soon, next year or 2

I remember earlier this year in this forum some people them as a possible relegation chance. We are not talking just a football club here, we are talking about a well-run business. Sure they have a salary cap but there are things that you can do legally within the club when you have dollars to spare. I will add at the start of the year I had Vermont friends who wanted to throw the coach and committee out, they are singing a different tune these days. I foresee many clubs folding as money is becoming a major issue and that's one issue Vermont will never have to face thanks to the forward-thinking of those of the past.

I think the possible relegation call was in jest. No one in their right mind thought they were going to drop off the end of the cliff (as enjoyable as that maybe).

Going by what's happening at Doncaster, United petrol station company has either pulled the pin or their cash flow has dried up.

I chucked em in for predicted relegation somewhere on here (and I’m certainly not an expert!!!). It was a bit of a joke as I said at the time, more wanting to see it happen rather than genuinely thinking it would.

Not that I have anything against Vermont personally, I don’t know anybody from there, just the old wanting to see everybody have their turn.

As I said I thought if it’s ever gonna happen then we won’t see it more likely - two relegations, they finished 6 points above the bottom two last year and didn’t do any major recruiting.

So clearly, it is obviously never going to happen!

They’re been far better than my uneducated arse gave them hope for this year and deserve the credit.

It appears from the outside a lot is going on there. Most likely won't know until season's end.

Surprised they wouldnt play the year out. South Croydon has lost a lot of close games, i cant see how sacking your coach with 5 games left will help avoid relegation.

 

[smy1305]

Stuart Dew is available.

The last Suns coach ended up in the EFL.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Huge win for Park Orchards to give them a fighting chance.

It’s probably still advantage South Croydon as they have a game to come against Doncaster, who seem to have been totally cut adrift and aren’t even competitive now.

 

[damochandler]

Anyone can win it this year. Bit like last year

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Wow, Park Orchards beat Blackburn and Berwick beat Noble.

Could be a big factor in keeping them up and South Croydon down.

What’s going on at Doncaster East? Ridiculous summer of chequebook recruiting and they could be battling just to make finals. Still have Vermont and and Balwyn to come, you wouldn’t back them in either.

No cheque book there all above board
