Have been firm on De La being a mid-table finisher this year Mr P and have seen nothing to change that view. There are some recruits but none that will really move the needle* and certainly nobody in the class of Jake Williams. While he missed nearly all last season with injury, Trent Shannon is another fairly significant loss. However player retention has been good and some decent 19s coming through, with several having already being exposed to senior A grade football. Obviously with the drop in class we are hoping to field a more competitive outfit this season.

Sam Hibbins one of your best for a long time? Dylan Thomas, albeit not a Wesley boy, is a big loss, was named in your best in 33% of your games and kicked 27 goals. Luke Nelson obviously an A grader who's left, Corey Cassidy a good A grade player and of course Matt Warren. Wundke didn't do much but was a good player at OM's. Also hearing Kenny Ong has hung them up?
Matt Warren and Kenny Ong are playing. Dylan Thomas is a big loss, but a reshaped forward line will help offset the goals he kicked last year.
Nelson a star as well.
Nelson only played 6 games last season at Collegians as he played 16 games at Carlton VFL, but is a very good player
Fair bit of Mayo on this. OI would have reason to be favorites, you are very bullish on OGs, Willy always seem to get it done, Beauy sound like they are building a strong list and I'm sure someone else will surprise. Honestly I'm not sure either Collegians or oCar are that far ahead. Collegians were unlucky to relegated and have added a few with Frost the standout but have lost some guns, OCar have added a lot but the majority are VFL listed. I'd worry about the quiet ones. I'm looking forward to another very competitive Prem B
Thank you Mr Platinum for answering the question for me
FWIW, not sure about Beauy. Heard a few have left including ruckman Heath. Will be young again.
Yes he’s gone to Strathmore EDFL. To try and help them prepare for an Angry Mick McG hellbent on revenge.
Albury will smash them
OI v OT battle of the Chelsworth tennants. This week
Hard to get a gauge from practice games. My source was a bit iffy on the actual scores so take this as you will but was reported to me as Albury winning by 17 points in first game (3 x 20) which was primarily seniors. DLS narrowly in 2nd game (2 x 20 min) which was primarily reserves. DLS won the unders by plenty. Many didn't make the trek to Albury and and I assume the home side also had players missing.

Didn’t seem like one last week.
