the EFNL dropped the premier, div1 & div 2 fixtures on Instagram over the last couple of days, but haven't posted it anywhere else.

Anyone know where I can find a version bigger than an instagram post?

Lots of uncertainty about forest hill not getting two sides up, plus nunawading and doncaster looking to come out of recess. Doncaster look pretty sure to return.

Door closed on ashwood trying to enter?
 
Doncaster are in

Forest Hill are in until further notice

Nunawading, who knows, they're talking about players coming in but giving no info about them - not even a full name - so it's impossible to know if they're senior players. At a guess I would say they'll field Under 19s again (perhaps with Forest Hill) but not seniors.

Ashwood aren't in. Withdrew their application to join. A bit of maneuvering behind the scenes between the three bodies (EFNL, SFNL and AFL Vic) including a reminder from the SFNL that if more clubs make the move, they will have to start targeting EFNL clubs to fill the gap. That could only mean Beacy, Berwick, Noble, which I think the EFNL are more interested in keeping than getting another basket case like Ashwood.

At a guess I would say 8 clubs - Chirnside, Warrandyte, Fair Park, Kilsyth, Bulleen Temp, CNMLOC, Forest Hill and Doncaster. And Forest Hill are a watch.

Would the EFNL and of cause clubs allow a club struggling to field 2 sides in D4 to only play a senior side in this division 2026?

They didn’t in 2025.

I believe the magic number has been 55 players to this point for 2026.

Never known the EFNL to have any clubs only fielding a senior side and no 2,s.

Currently looking at D4 and presuming Doncaster can field 2 sides and all other 7 teams can which makes it 8 Forest Hill and Nunawading are allowed to join D4 with only 1 senior side and no reserves.Is a question and not a opinion and not sure how to answer myself but perhaps will keep 2 clubs like Forest Hill and Nunawading alive in only fielding 1 side.

Would be crazy if forest hill didn't get up and nuna did. Ya never know though. Both of them need to get a feeder or junior set up in place or its just pushing sh** uphill again. Dunno where nuna got a u19 team from but they were touched up a fair bit in the bottom division, beating a few clubs 2nd teams. Still getting them up is a great start and getting on the right track

Has happened mid season a couple of times in the 90s 1 the last year of surrey hills (pre surrey park) and norwood in about 94 regularly forfeited 2s due to numbers. EDFL as it was then also basically allowed overflow players from other clubs and random unregistered players to fill in to enable 2 games some weeks

Crazy if they’re not seriously considering a JV at least if not full
