5 clearances into St Johns and Swinburne combined.
How are numbers on the track? Seems worrying for both if they are looking to get 2 sides
St Johns have 10 in and 7 out not including people who just aren’t playing.Pretty quiet from all at the moment. Not many clearances coming through for Div 3 and 4 compared to previous years, not sure if it's a sign of tough times for lower division clubs or if the clearance page is even working....
Swinburne and La Trobe Uni semesters haven't started yet, they would probably both be planning a recruitment drive and hoping for a bit of an influx when they start to get more bodies on campus in the next couple of weeks
Takes about 30 seconds to chuck a clearance in...First round is in 5 weeks, doesn't allow much time to sort teams out if players need transfers etc..
That's just hoping they get an influx, very well might not be an influx in which case it would become a vry serious issue in the week before round 1
St. John’s has 15 in and 7 out according to transfers?Anyone in touch with La Trobe? Swinburne very happy with numbers on the list, have had 35 plus on the track the past 3 weeks I've been told. O Week last week, so might have more on the way. Expect that St Johns will be strong, after a bounce back year in Thirds last year.
Interesting concept but I highly doubt local footy will come back at the same time as the AFL. We won’t be playing until the public gatherings laws are relaxed.AFL to return in June.
What are out options assuming we have a 10-11 week window with first game in June 7th?
Could we see a 6 round D4 season and a top 4 finals series?
My Thoughts
June 7th - Lightning Rnd 1 - 2 venues - 3 teams at each venue. 15 minute quarters. 6 games (3 x Senior, 3 x Reserve)
June 14th - Lightning Rnd 2 - 2 venues - 3 teams at each venue. 15 minute quarters. 6 games (3 x Senior, 3 x Reserve)
Lightning Rounds Results
Top Ranked Team (Snrs + Ressies) - 8 premiership points
2nd Ranked Team (Snrs + Ressies) - 4 premiership points
2nd Ranked Team (Snrs + Ressies) - 2 premiership points

Word around the grounds is hoping to have a 9 game season starting on the 4th of July.
I’m hearing the vafa looking at a div 4 hub to get the season going.
BHN we’re looking good with decent numbers on the track and few handy recruits.
I heard a rumour that a certain veteran BHN backman was returning for one more crack.
Stronger rumours of a prominent div 4 ruckman coming out of retirement...
