SFNL Div 1 2026

Surprised by that as they seem to have recruited very well.

Any insights from the weekends practice games? Advised that Cheltenham got flogged by a C grade ammos team. Missing a few or is the dynasty in peril?

I Checked Beaumaris football club page to confirm and they didnt have enough. You could say prior commitments but they have a 3rds side aswell so a bit weird.

Rosebud showed Dingley how to play football a very convincing win

Parkdale were good for their first hit out, Chelt had at least 10 to 12 out due to prior commitments, cricket finals, cricket trips. Looked really slow and fitness seemed an issue.

Pretty sure Chelt haven’t trained before Feb the last 3 years and that seems to have worked ok for them .
A couple of other clubs have followed that this year .
It’s local footy ….

Then you have some clubs wanting under 10s etc wanting to start in November

Some C grade Ammo teams would go well in the SFL

cut it out

Cheltenham started really slow last season as well….wouldnt write them off just yet! Everyone had them done after Rd 5 when the All Stars gave them a flogging. Look at the comparison between the 2 clubs since then!

You wouldn't know backwards

Spot on. It’s actually embarrassing that local clubs try and replicate the afl.
I reckon in 5 years most clubs won’t train before Xmas .

And councils like GE have had enough , soccer is worse they don't give a stuff about the welfare of grounds.
It takes to late November for grounds to get over footy and then they want to start again

It was Parkdale who have recruited big time to add to what was an already impressive list.

Should be in B grade

Really? Based on? Unless it was modified rules and no tackling allowed then you may have a case otherwise !!!

Parkdale would be a solid Div1 team in southern, i know they are hunting more teams to try and drive it too a 4 x 10 competition would try to chase parkdale rovers etc no school related teams in bayside since most would be strong

Hampton and Ormond with big junior programs

Parkdale should but will never come across. Some at Gerry Green have a distinct disliking for the SFNL

Parkdale originally an SFL club so never say never. A change in committee at some point might want to take them in another direction. Bentleigh switched back and it seems to have worked for them. Would be a great fit for the SFL and they could develop a great local rivalry with Mordialloc. Reports from the practice match v Cheltenham is that they are a very slick outfit and won by a significant margin, notwithstanding it was just a practice game.

While the SFL is expanding via the growth corridor areas (Narre, Cranbourne etc) would be great to get some clubs from within the southern zone on board such as Beaumaris, Parkdale, Chelesea, Edi-Asp etc.

 

[Mighty Storm]

Bad start of the year down at Narre warrren,a couple of good players with serious injuries from practice match

 

[Blood Stained Angels]

They've lost a couple of significant players, so might not be any better. Certainly competitive though.

Why ?

 

[bedford]

Why ?

Best team for 2 years in C and lost , it happens

 

[Pendles1991]

Tom Miller broke 4 bones in his foot on the weekend for Narre Warren, huge loss. Reckon he's done for most of if not whole season.

Hampton Park praccy match vs Moe this Saturday. That might be one worth watching

Tom Miller is a good lad. Sad to hear this. Heard there was another injury?

 

[debigmon]

Chelt to get home by a kick over st pauls
and springvale to make a big, big statement over dingley with an 8+ goal win
