Didn't Ellis win two AFL premierships in 2017 and 2019 at the Tigers under Damien Hardwick so probs can offer a bit to Wests.

He was apart of it, not sure winning is the word

After scoring 205 goals in two years, Hillside’s Josh Covelli has had his paperwork re-lodged to travel across the Calder Freeway to Tullamarine, after having his first transfer declined. Does anyone know why his transfer request was denied?

Didn’t pay his subs last year and they tried to hold him.

Tis actually a political barnstorm.

I'm sure Tulla will pick up that tab for him

 

[Nepotism]

Tulla have deep pockets. It will all get solved.

The amount being thrown around for the 2 players crossing from HS to Tulla is ridiculous , surely what I'm hearing can't be right. $60k... Please someone in the know or with some sense of the real figure point us all in the right direction

Couldn't give a stuff about the HillBillies either way Champ

60k Just for Covelli and another 15k for others.

A lot of $$$ spent to not get promoted and in the event did, neither would play premier division.

What a waste…. At least spend it to go up and stay up.

Could he have a change of heart??

Covelli on 2 yr deal so if they did go up and he didn’t want to play, a club would have to pony up to get him out of tulla

Could be in his contract to be released if they went to premier. Highly unlikely though they win it as more likely to be relegated than go up. Covelli probably gets them out of relegation zone.

East Keilor double drop all but locked in with their first ‘prized recruits’ being North Brunswick’s 3 best from F Grade Amateur footy.

Zac can easily play at this level, the other 2 waste of time

Is this Zack, Spencer & Adam your referring to??

Yep. Zac will go okay although nothing special.

I heard the money that Tull are prepared to pay for Corelli was just much to ignore if so good for him and totally dumb for tulla

Just cause Clubs are rolling out their prized recruits in Nov 2025 - doesn't mean they will line up for that club in April 2026 some 5 months away. Feb 2026 Clearances will be when the action starts to get serious - EK will be a lot more competitive this year and may even win 4-5 games which will keep them out of the relegation zone.

Does anyone know of circumstances that a player transfers is approved and changes their mind to go back to the club that cleared them for whatever reason? Is that even a possible scenario?

I hope you’re right as it will be a lot better for the competition to have every team competitive and no easy beats.

From a spectators perspective, I’m really looking forward to 2026 in Div 1.

Yes you can do that, Multiple transfers happen when blokes aren’t happy or don’t want to commit to the clubs.
