Div 2 2026

If there’s one thing you would think they’d know about up in the hills, it’s grass

Wrong side of the hill.
Puffing Billy doesn’t just refer to the train

Lilydale over East Burwood
Mulgrave over Croydon
Waverley over Ringwood
Surrey Park over Templestowe
Heathmont over Wantirna South

Good luck working out this division

Only six games in

No club is unbeaten
No club is winless

5 clubs with % over 110%
1 club right on 100%
4 clubs below 80%

But
Highest % is 151%
Lowest % is 68%

Looks like anybody can beat anybody here

Very tough flag to win

A very competitive side will probably get relegated (if there is a relegation, which there probably won’t be).

 

[eflreceiver]

It's very competitive, and a few teams have yet to put their best team on the field due to injuries. Heathmont has been disappointing, but they win a few, and all of a sudden, that mantra changes.

Been watching a bit due to the closeness of this one, but looks like it may be starting to sort itself out… think maybe the Top 3 (Tempy, SP and WS) are the contenders and the rest are looking fairly average.

Yep, I think Tempy are a level above the other 2 right now, definitely flag favs at this stage.

 

[guest100]

Not sure about that. WS beat Tempy pretty easily and Tempy 3 goals over SP on a wet track. We know what Surrey have been able to do in recent finals when the sun is shining.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Wins against Tempy, Surrey or Wanny South:

Surrey: 1
Croydon: 1
Wantirna South: 1
Ringwood: 1
Templestowe: 1

Bit of carry on after the Heathmont vs Waverley game on the weekend. Few Heathmont players arguing with Waverley supporters.

Starts at half time… Viccars (WB) is bowled over at a stoppage… targeted yes but was a very tame bump… he goes down like he’s been machine gunned and a melee kicks off.

I would suggest #5 for Heathmont is very lucky… given a yellow card and refused to leave the ground… even does a bit of foot stamping, come at me bro what a w***er.

Anyway Viccars kicks the game winner so has the last laugh.

Looks like #5 for Heathmont was also supposed to be on the bench.

East Burwood will host their first home game for 2025 this Saturday.

I completely doubted it would happen. Council rarely deserve credit for anything sports-related, but they’ve done very well here.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

East Burwood will host their first home game for 2025 this Saturday.

And maybe we can reverse some of those close away game defeats.

The only problem was the delay caused by the council not agreeing to the new quote and having it put off for 3 months so they could enjoy Christmas. Not blaming the actual councillors, greater responsibility falls on the tardy council officers.

Good news but keep your fingers crossed.Remember your home game that was supposed to be played at Box Hill and the council pulled the pin on you playing there on the Thursday before the game.

Would you train on the main oval or the northern oval still.Will all games other then 1,s be played on the northern oval.Reserves,19,s and juniors.

The Oval is ready to train and play on, thanks to the weather gods.

Personally I thought the lack of warmer weather might be needed but great news.

When the grass was first put down, we had those few mild weeks. The heat, manure, water, and sun helped immensely.

 

[eflreceiver]

Upsets all across the board - except East Burwood and Mulgrave, but EB did lead at every change.

Fancied sides struggling in wet conditions

Massive win for the Rams, heaps of injuries and yes everyone has injuries but when your coach is playing in the the magoos shows how many are out. Black armbands for Marg Trollop who passed away this week. The matriarch who is even a member of East Burwoods “Hall of Fame”. Back at Ram Stadium in their jumpers (not the white ones) and winning is good for the club. Note: I have proposed a “Burn the white jumper” ceremony.

It worked at Kardinia Park...

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

Great to get the win. Surface looked good and played well. Lilydale a 2 point loss to Croydon, so an important win for us especially with so many out. A lot of young kids playing in the two's and only went down by 2 points.

I’ll have to let mum know as Trollop’s were old family friends.
They were East Burwood through and through.

Marg passed away the same day as her late Husbands John’s Birthday.
