B Section Premier B 2026

[CARLTON2011]

Your right. Tom Jepson signed today. 2024 Premiership player 2 x B&F. Moved interstate now returned to Melbourne.

Zane Cochrane committed to Old Carey. Will be on Coburg VFL list.

Very good pickup. Probably won't play a heap of Coburg. My concern for OCar is your lack of height or depth in key positions.You have a mass of midfield and utility depth and quality but very little KP height.Grant is a massive recruit but think he may be Port Melbourne's no1 ruck.

 

[God Yeah]

Practice Matches

De La v Yarraville Seddon 14/3 (Seniors & 19's)
De La v Albury Tigers 21/3 (Seniors)
De La v Uni Blues (U/19 Only)
De La v Beaumaris (Triple Header) 11/4

Have De La picked up any full timers to offset the likes of J Williams et al leaving?

Comms from the club so far have mainly been players re-signing. Haven't seen any big fish landed as yet.

 

[Archangel17]

Collegians have a couple of x level ins but theyve lost a fair bit of A level. Where did they sit? Personally I think they are still favourites for a top two position but may not be as clear as some are presenting

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.

*Leo Connelly obviously a very well credentialed footballer but dont expect we will see much of him due to VFL commitments.

It is a better list than last year I am told...I am not sure what A level has gone?

 

[andoman21]

There will be two clear standout teams in Collegian and Carey ( the factory!)....the rest of us are playing for the remaining two positions.

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.

Dylan Thomas is a big loss. Hibbins barely played a game at all in 25. Cassidy was cooked, ripper guy. Agree on Wundke.
Run with Ong and Warren still playing........

Nelson a star as well.

 

[Post Mortem]

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.
Borghouts left Carey?

Yes he’s gone to Strathmore EDFL. To try and help them prepare for an Angry Mick McG hellbent on revenge.

 

[God Yeah]

Jimmyjack any word on how De La went in the practise match over the weekend? All those I've spoken to haven't been able to shed any light on how the boys from Dairy Bell went.

I’ve got nothing God Yeah. Must admit I’m not as engaged as I was previously. I’ll tap into those closer to the action and see what I can find out.
