2026 player moves - ins and outs, signings and departures

[Bunk Moreland]

Good to see your keeping up your weekly whinge/sledging of Donny east

Can’t imagine any club would keep there whole list from season to season
People come an go all time these days

I think they are going for 22 players with VFL/AFL experience.

Reckon that could lift them to 7th this year

 

[good thing]

My friends at Doncaster East were on 44-46 points this year.

They’ll drop 10-12 points as players lose a point.

But so far they’ve brought in three VFL players which is 15 points. With “more recruiting to come”.

Some must be leaving?

They have lost Leverso and 2 x DeLuca there’s 6 points gone and 4K per game
They got beaten by Blackburn by 11 goals just before the finals this year why wouldn’t they go out and recruit lol. The coach has photos.

[CliffMcTainshaw]

any news on the mpfnl been pretty dry with big recruit signings?
Aarts to dromana?
Devon Meadows going up to division 1 will need to recruit a high quality player apparently talking to multiple key forwards any names?
hastings trying to get hooper from port melbourne and josh butland.
would love some more names.

You could try the MPFNL forum and not the EFNL forum!!!!!!!

Berwick have had some nice signings so far, headlined by Miller Bergman. Looking to be big improvers next season

Miller Bergman is a very good pickup for Berwick, however I couldn’t quite go past the names of his brothers.
Jahvon,Tige and Raiden.

Sounds like Boronia have become the new South Belgrave, some of figures being offered to players is ridiculous. Expect a few more big signings from them.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Springvale Districts senior player is a big get for Doncaster. D1 Southern to D5 Eastern is a huge drop in grade. Cory Hutchinson, should kill them if fit.

Serious question, has Doncaster been allowed extra points or salary cap for there first season back? Just because I struggle to believe with some of the fire power they're bringing that they're staying under a pretty modest div 4 salary cap.

You’d have to think with this list assembled the other division 4 clubs will complain until the cows come home for them to be moved into Div 3 also if Doncaster believe they are good enough surely they’d wanna come back as high as possible

You would have to think they’re being given extra points, they won’t have any one pointers - except for maybe a couple of ex Doncaster that come back.

Might be actually impossible to hit 46 points or whatever the limit is.

Clarke brothers I heard from Sorrento. How does a club pay the full salary cap,maintain their whole list, bring a number of gun players on big money in and still be under the cap.

Yeah I don’t think anyone cares about points in division 4 and for a rebuild club they’d have to expect points to be high it’s more the talent!!
Mind you that new club last season had those two Balwyn brothers who won’t the league best and fairest!

 

[Bunk Moreland]

They have been chasing both Clarkes for years.

Sorrento aren’t a club that it’s healthy being in a bidding war with!

Agree probably the most disliked club in the MPFNL because of their blatant cheating of the salary cap over the years.

Bunk loves clubs like that

Put a representative of Donny East, Sorrento and Bunk in a room and I'd love to be a fly on that wall

The Sticcas are 1 pointers for Bulleen-Temp. They got a few of their juniors back I think

Not sure how many 1 pointers are out there for Doncaster

As good as some of the Doncaster inclusions are, I still think Chirnside and Fairpark will be the teams to beat

Do you have any names? I keep seeing the clarke brothers mentioned is this true?

 

[Bobby Beecroft]

Doncaster would have close to 20 players scattered at other EFNL clubs. They would have to be given some leeway.

Agree with Harry. A bit of an over reaction to some of the announcements. Some players have played higher but numerous are either untried or will be at the level they have previously played.

Incredible job by those involved to be where they are at this point. They will be competitive which should be welcomed not shot down.

 

[magpies2013]

Lachie Kruger back to The Basin after a few years at Baysie

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Two more ex VFL recruits for Doncaster East this morning

I reckon we are going for half a million in match payments in 2026, can we get there??

 

[Bobby Beecroft]

As the club eyes another big year.

You creating these write-ups Bunk?
