Michael Cramp to EB.

thought he was stiff to not play more senior footy at east Ringwood

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

Koby Cook Blackburn to EB.

Just so Goody understands. He didn't play footy this year because he was playing Lacrosse for Australia. Former Rams junior.

Does that make him 1 point? Asking for Goody.

It does, along with Josh Goldie, also a former Rams junior.

Tim smith going home to uftg
Bringing some mates from up the mountain aswell

 

[Noddy Smith]

Maybe a little truth to the rumours

They will be happy up there, a long lost son returns and only 1 point.

 

[Pendles1991]

Surely not true?

 

[magpies2013]

Maybe a little truth to the rumours

And I bet you will hear the usual spiel that clubs come out with we got him because he has connections with some players and not the money they are offering

Maybe a little truth to the rumours

"We’re excited to announce that Corey ‘CJ’ Preston will be joining the Boronia Hawks Football Club for the 2026 season". Locked in as rumoured, but the $ were exaggerated. Good pick up Noddy.

Great get for Boronia Dave. I have no doubt he’ll only be playing for a hotdog and can of coke.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Assume he’s staying at Box Hill?

Doubt it

What a joke. Even if its not 30K there is no way Boronia has space in their cap for this kid. Its still cheating if the past players, the cotorie group or anyone else pays him, you do realise this?

Also, the club is living within its means

They might be living within their means, but their means is way outside the cap.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Doubt it

Full time at Boronia? Wow

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Berwick get Lewis Hill from Tooradin. Former Berwick junior and VFL. Bloody good player. Looks like they’ve picked up a few.

Premier interesting so far. Vermont picked up a couple of good players from Heathmont. Berwick signed quite a few. Absolute crickets from Noble Park once again. Nothing from South Belgrave, unlike them.

Should be a tight relegation race. Though I thought that last year and in the end it wasn’t.

[Th3B1gD0g]

Montrose big off season continues, hearing they have signed three of Croydon's best players. Smith, Britton and Carter!

Apparently they have signed Will Kennedy from Seaford (former Frankston VFL)

Caulfield Grammarians tried to get him back but apparently a massive offer from Noble Park.

Heard much about Will Kennedy, will he be a good inclusion?

 

[Thepigshow]

Heard he’s working with a current player an playing for free.
It’s good to see

 

[localfootylegend23]

Yep, they got Brenton Sanderson a job!

on $80k per year on balwyns books+ job I heard

 

[localfootylegend23]

Appreciat that

I have some strong connections within the club i can categorically tell you numbers like that for d3 players are factually incorrect
there’s a few following the new coach but from what I’ve told one of them is ex noble park & the rest have never been paid to play
8 for a d3 player would be laughed at by the committee
jake the other coach also bringing a few from Pascoe vale who aren’t even getting paid anywhere near 8.
Gotta take what you hear with a grain of salt
This was their issue in the past - buying wins - committee not going down that route any more

"Buying wins" How else are they going to? No juniors, players don't play for free anymore, well good ones at least. They will need to double their committed player numbers if they are to get up, they never used to charge two's players fees and still struggled to get numbers...
