WRFL Div 2 Discussion 2024

[Avg at best]

Yes. Lots of numbers down there now, they even have a netball side now. A great effort by the committee who have held it together over the years. We were dead on our feet 15 years ago. The joint is packed at the moment. Onwards and upwards.

I said in the future of the WRFL forum that I reckon there’s a bit of YSE about them. Re-gentrified area, lots of juniors and in high grades also. Will only keep growing.

Looks like big improvement from West this season

Good to see the recent surge by the older inner west ex FDL clubs - West, Parkside and YSE. Good wins by West and Parkside in D1 who I saw and thought were very competitive last week at PC.

Small steps for Lavo, watched 3rd qtr yesterday v Cobras.

Very competitive, got some decent footballers and improved again on last year, should get their 1st win v Rams next week.

Beaten by 81 and 105 in their 2 games v Albanvale last tear, so getting within 27 yesterday is a good sign. Maybe Albanvale have slipped a bit together with improvement by Lavo.

Probably should push to play at skinner reserve
Shorten Reserve is a law suit waiting to happen

Don't know about resurgence of West's, didn't they blow all there cash a few years back chasing a div 2 flag?

Parkside as well, all about the cash they have to spend and the players they can bring in, no interest in developing any juniors.

YSE yep they weren't travelling that well and have rebuilt a very strong club, then you look at spotty they are a shadow of the once powerful club they were.

Things are different this time with West. 5-10 years ago they had not many juniors at all. Now look at them they are filling every/most grades and generally in A or B grade at worst.

Wait and see on this, we hope because we want clubs to be stronger.

Lavo very competitive, fitness is the issue in order to be able to run out games when it counts.

Blood Stained Angels any relation to the Vorbach that plays at Laverton?

Is there any chance they split division 2, the league has blocked any comments related to Div 2 on there socials platform, they clearly know they dropped the ball, do they adapt tho?

By the looks of it, it’s just three teams that are that much in front of the rest. Albion, Sunshine and Newport…

If the league had of held their nerve and sent up the top 4 from division 2 last year probably wouldn’t have such a crappy comp in division 2 but as usual they crack to
Teams who pick and choose what they want to do

Still it looks like three groups of teams.. so would it really have mattered that much? Perhaps a couple of less floggings.. I think the league should have just fixtured teams a bit better so the lower teams play each other a bit more frequently.

Top: Newport, Albion and Sunshine

Rest

Bottom: Rams, Tarniet and Laverton

Was at Rockbank today. Being a former Laverton player you forget how big/proud a club it is. They always travel well supported and are very vocal. Rockbank to me have some potential, look to have quite a few young players in the side and will only get better, Laverton also very young. The Laverton ruck is a massive unit and solid footballer.

Rams lacking the cattle today

Yeah number 2 was a big boy same with number 1 AJ too tall too athletic for an undersized backline

Was a little bit of niggle in the game before Laverton kicked away and the heat was taken out of the game

Noticed Kevin Klix named in the selected sides too but didn’t play

They got pumped today.

They wanted to come into the comp to play ‘easy sides’ like Lavo and got belted

I drived past training late last year and got crap thrown at me on here when I asked a simple question about numbers.

It seems they lied to get into the comp reckon they had great numbers. Was funny to see they had full sides today but only just got a ressy side in against the stronger clubs last few weeks.

Watch the old hang ons put there hand up against the Runners and celebrate.

Match of the day

They haven’t won a game in 6 years they weren’t competitive in the riddle league

They had no choice but to try something different and here you are hanging s**t on them for club trying improve their situation… start small get a couple of wins and build from there
