Surely 2 up from D4 & only South Melbourne Districts down?

Word is atm that D3 and D4 will go ahead with 9 in each.
Only time will tell if this changes.

Really? So a crap result in 2 grades...
Surprising on one hand & not one the other.

Maybe a few Clubbies teams might move to Div 4?

Chadstone having one in each Division should.
Not sure who else could, South Mornington just can't get enough players who want to travel.

I think they will stay in Clubbies - They have had a very very dry run of success so better to keep them there. Think clubs like BHN and South Mornington would jump at the chance to field 1's and 2's in Div 4 should they get the numbers

From the photo I saw, BHN's flag winning team was old... More likely to retire than play on in D4.
Good luck to them & I really hope they're not another team to fall by the wayside.

They are advertising for two clubbies sides for next season, same as Chadstone.

Just seen that Box Hill North are pushing to get into D4 for 2018, this could potentially give that division 10 clubs.
Would the VAFA promote one extra side to make D3 have ten or leave it at nine?

Surely the higher grade gets the even draw?

My goodness-how many clubs has he had now? D3 ressies is a bit of a fall from grace.

Dave coached me to a senior flag at BT in 2008. Ripper man. Great coach. Buggered if I know why clubs around that area don't stitch him up for a senior gig.

True. He did coach Ormond 1sts for 3 years and coached the 19's 4 years ago.

 

[rosejam]

Perhaps it is because he'd rather stay than senior coach elsewhere.....

 

[bedford]

I don't think so

 

[rosejam]

I don't think so

I do.

 

[Phantom Strobler]

I don't think so

So is he being forced into the job. I don't think so.

Never said that , have nothing but praise for Dave.

Shannon Collins has stepped aside at the Snakes.

I can confirm BHN have applied to re-enter D4.

Who will coach? Confident of numbers or striving?
Great news for the club & the comp..
