We have difference of opinion on a minor matter. The emoticons were a means of lightening things up.
You appear to be quite overwrought, Hedgie. Calm down.

I would think it would be a proud day for all involved at St Bedes with their triple premiership coach now an AFL head coach.
I'd say a few more around Mentone would be taking more of an interest in the Bulldogs from now on. Good appointment

Think Parkdale may surprise and be quite competitive Jase! Hampton clearly had their measure but were only 11 points up in the last quarter. Won by four goals. Half of Parkdale's side was 21 or under in the GF side including two 17 year olds. No retirements or anyone leaving they should only get stronger? plus a few back who were injured in September. Won the reserves GF and their under 19's were finalist in section2 in 2014. Club is better shape than last crack at B grade when everyone was over 32 years of age. Should be a good comp.

Does the term Thrift Park have any deeper significance GG.

Not to mention Old Xavs................
Who do you think will be the team to watch in Premier B next season?
Hampton
I don't know. I can also see a few post 30 who had instant impact and I think Beamer would be a monster in the Ammos. I also think, whilst there were a few busts at Old Camberwell, there were more booms; Hilton, Loats, Tallis, and the incoming coach all had fairly significant impacts. Yze and Holland at Old Carey had big impacts even though only playing a season; Heath Black at Mazenod was dominant. I'm sure I could come up with some more who were good over 30 recruits.
Don't know how I forgot the Haileybury group. They would probably match if not exceed the output of the Old Camberwell group who pulled Old Camberwell ,temporarily at least, from D to B. SKOBs have had a few too, but think? they joined before they reached 30.

Certainly an absolutely ripping makeup this year for local rivalries.
Rovers vs SBMT was huge 10-15 years ago, as big as SBMT vs Beaumaris in some respects, it will be good to see it again.
Parkdale vs SBMT is one of the biggest local rivalries in the VAFA and should see huge crowds for both installments, there's only been maybe 6 games between the two since Parkdales reformation due to their different standings, all with 1000+ crowds.
Ajax vs SBMT obviously stems from the 1 point C grade win when SBMT started their run, but there was bad blood at the time, and there still remains remnants from both sides.

I reckon Premier B in 2015 could be the most competitive in all the sections combined. The VAFA could do a lot worse than to have a 'Rivalry Round' for next season, maybe have it on Round 5-6.
Going to be a big game at Boss James Reserve on ANZAC Day next season, to mark the 100th anniversary of the landings at Gallipoli by the ANZACs.

Boring thread thus far. Let's look at 2015 so far:
St Bedes - no real ins at this stage will be competitive.
Old Brighton - a couple back from overseas and will be ok. Maybe an ageing list.
SKOB - very quiet ATM. Lots of young talent, if they can land one or two will be right in it.
Mazenod - a couple of handy recruits already but will struggle due to lack of depth
Ajax - a number of players going o/S or retiring could be a long year
Caulfield - without a great number of recruits will struggle. Osborne average bloke and even more average coach. Bad appointment and will be favourites for relegation.
Fitzroy - hearing best player Bizzetto leaving as such may struggle. He is a real key.
Hampton - no depth but real quality will be pushing finals.
Old Melbourne- lack depth, under 19s horrible, everyone rates them I'm going the other way may struggle.
Parkdale - Very Young and will struggle
Thoughts welcome.

Way, way too early to speculate on lists.
That said, much of the stuff you've written is wide of the mark, even at this early stage. Rovers have no depth for example. Could have sworn they won the U19s GF by a margin. Have a very strong junior development program. Plus an alignment with Sandringham.
Interesting to see the much travelled Matty Robbins returning to Boss James. Hey bedford.

Noticed in the Herald Sun that the VAFA is considering pulling out of the AFL Vic Metro Championships due to the fact that clubs from the EFL are using it to recruit VAFA rep players to their league.
Thoughts?
