Div 3 2026

[Harry Cheezels]

Donvale should easily stroll past Coldstream. Interesting to see their team line up after their big win vs Oakleigh. Assuming Rausa and Haig are in

Scoresby to fill their boots vs Oakleigh. Amin for a bag. Oakleigh need to show something

Knox should be to good at home against FTG. Not sure what to make of FTG just yet. This will be a good test

The Basin to go back to back and upset Silvan. Should be full of confidence after a win away and they werent disgraced in round 1

Fairpark in a slog vs UFTG. Not sure what to make of these 2 sides just yet. Could be a big game come seasons end but fairpark Just

Starting to see the divide in this Div now.
I'd seed them as #1 Donvale, #2 Scoresby #3 Knox...

Daylight
The Basin
FTG.
I think that will be the 5 this year.
Fairpark with a bit of work to do.

Max Otten returning via Donvale 2s this week.
Surprisingly Nick Day doesn't get a call up after booting 7.
Kyle Wignell returns for his 1st game of the year.
Donvale still without Haig, Leardi, Rausa, Lyall, Pell and K Djordevic

You love letting us know what players are out for Donvale. Every club has players out.

They would really want to win it with all these players out.

 

[Harry Cheezels]

Yes every club has players out.
Are they to that quality though?
I'll give you the simple answer. No

I’m sure premier and Div 1 clubs have better outs than that mate.

If that was the case I'd be posting in a premier and div 1 chat forum. Not one that says div 3

Think prime train with bears this week be interesting to see how he goes and what difference it’ll have on the outcome. Scoresby are flying

Scoresby will win by plenty. He'll do nothing. Very overrated but does alot for the club on the day and is worth the money from what I've been told.

Yeah I’m conflicted about the value of these blokes for one offs. Good money spinner but clubs he has played at full time are not complimentary about his ability. Swanny still doing it and obviously making good money selling signed footies photos and jumpers. Basin been successful $ wise over the years.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I’m a bit surprised on Prime Train still making money on it, I know he was very popular a few years ago but the online / social media world moves very very fast and fame/ popularity doesn’t seem to last.

Then again he may still be very popular, I am an old man who wouldn’t know

 

[Big John Studd]

showing my age or ignorance Ive never heard of the bloke.

Agreed bunk im and old timer I wouldn’t have thought the club would make much money off kids with free entry and selling party pies! Surely not many adults are paying to go watch a bloke who never played afl? Or am I to old for this social media celebrity stuff

he stays popular by collaborating with online footy people who always somehow manage to stay relevant

true, but his audience are mostly younger kids who don't get themselves to his games, they'll be dragging a parent along at least. Not a big fan of his but he knows his audience and uses it to the club's advantage which i can only commend

Do you commend getting in a footballer who takes another players spot for once week? Interested to know everyone’s thoughts on that!

Yeah I agree, good luck to him. If it helps out the club then all for it.

He’s just a local footballer, pretty sure NEAFL or QAFL was the highest he played, and just launched social media accounts with video content all about fitness / health / nutrition / footy etc.

He amassed a few hundred thousand followers so drew a bit of a crowd to games, and using that he now plays one-off games for local clubs and does a footy clinic etc.

He carries on a bit on field and looks like this so attracts plenty of hate, which fuels the interest.

It’s a crowd thing, he’s not gonna win games for you.

Estimated price tag for the basin bunk???
We talking $5-$10k?

Absolutely no idea

I know fev used charge $5k (many years ago) but would often put $1k on the bar, or back into the club.

We all thought that Danny Casset had a record number of clubs that stands the test of time, then along comes Prime Train.

 

[Harry Cheezels]

He looks good when he plays in the middle of nowhere for club on its knees because he's so fit and can run all day when he's playing against overweight farmers. Has good contacts so doing things like raffles etc can fetch some money for clubs. Not sure how it will go in a strong metro melb league. He certainly won't be the best player out there and I don't think it will be much of a crowd puller, most people that go watch him go there to sledge him. He will play up for the crowd and if he's not trying to get the hand off the back across the backline he will sit in the forward pocket and try for free kicks. Will be an interesting watch

Fev was 10k when he played at Donvale. I think the club pulled in 20k+ that day. Even though we lost he was unreal to play with and hung around all night

any club using these sort of stunts is going backwards

Is this included in the salary cap

 

[thefunnelweb]

Is this included in the salary cap

My gut feel is that it would be spread on his package.
X amount for kids clinic
X amount for sportsman’s night
X amount to play
And no doubt the kids clinic and sportsman night would be 90% of the contract
