2026 NFNL All Divisions Rumour File

[Denny Crane]

As we wonder info the off season and there already is a few posts through the division threads on movements and signings I felt to make it easy we could have a one thread.

Remember, unless probably posted on socials all posts are rumours.

Let’s have em and lets see what comes true.

 

[Denny Crane]

My first rumour file from last week or so:

Monty very active with a Keilor key possie player signed, Hooper playing full time and bringing another from Port to join him.

Lower Plenty already seem to have signed all their kids and have actually posted signings of two seemingly decent young players from Mont and Banyule.

Greensy active into Watsy players including Captain.

No known names atm but source at West Preston has at least three VFL players committing fulltime.

Turtles after youth to re-energise, their new coach has decent history coaching juniors at a few clubs that could see a decent influx, rumour is phones have been ringing.

Premiers never willing to rest on four in a row talking to Hoskin-Elliot to include assistant coaching role with other coaching opportunities he is interested in.

Ivanhoe wineing and dining a few ex-Hoes mainly now playing in teams along Beverly Rd.

My mail was the Watsonia boys had gone to a D1 club that share similar colours minus the white.

Cryptic.

Sad to see walkouts when relegated but it does happen. Personally think you need to take some responsibility for the relegation and work with Club to get back and be involved in more wins that used to. But many see lower divisions poorly which is fine I suppose.

Let the main one slip through their fingers who will be full time at North Ballarat after captaining Collingwoods VFL this year whilst aligned with West.

Whittlesea with a few leaving, some may find living in country is easier to play in country, Seymour and Benalla could be the beneficiaries.

Agreed. Murphy and Dimasi are terrific gets for Seymour. Great to see Dimasi returning to footy too after such a horrific injury

Barden on the move? Back to Div1? Anyone heard this one? Was surprised when told he was heading to the team that he lost a GF to.

Was close to go this year, will want to win a premiership before his career comes to an end

Diamo are going to win the D1 GF?

Surprised he has never had a run at Montmorency. His old man won a flag there and if he could help them end the drought it would be legendary.

Hope you are correct Denny would love to see some ex-Hoers return in 2026.

Have been told over the weekend that Horsefield is signed at Hoe Park and should be a great addition to the list.

Not overly happy with that signing. Can play when fit and will be a loss to Eltham.

 

[tasmanlvr]

Really impressed with Old Eltham at the moment. Matches up with the phones being busy call that was made earlier. Hopefully it adds another layer to how competitive Div 3 is, a lot of young guys so there will be some really competitive performances

 

[10571z]

Federico back to the Hoers is the word - huge get and a 1 pointer as another IJFC player returns.

I believe he’ll stay at Wang from my sources

 

[10571z]

Signed at Ivanhoe - announced internally today.

Unbelievable pick up. Comp medal fav

As an EDFL observer Denny Crane, I’m interested in the Keilor key position to Monty. Has this been announced or can you shed some light?
