HDFL Season 2025

[SpecialBruce]

surely you don't leave Ararat to head to T/Lake, I think it might be hard for anyone to land big recruits this season, everyone seems to announce locked in players early these days, big money gets offered, and no one wants to coach !!! any real player news out there ?

I don't know. Put yourselves in the shoes of some Ararat players.

You play for premierships. You have one, two or three if they win this weekend. There comes a point where you choose if you want to keep winning premierships or chase the $$$$$$.

Who's Baker ? how long has he played there for? hearing Westley's from pimp heading to Horsham,

I think he’s referring to Taylor’s forward Alex baker, reportedly on $800+ a game

league leading goal kicker in the south west league last season I believe. only kicked 43 mind you. 7 players kicked more than that this year alone in HDFNL

Brock Orval

Tyler Roos
Jordan Motton

Orval is assistant coach though is he not? or do we think he would be getting paid more than most of the coaches in the league?

 

[sharpshooter98]

eats boys would have to be on a fair whack i would have thought .... but rightly so! id expect some silly offers to be thrown around in the next month or so, people trying to keep what they have, plus add to their lists, who would be the biggest targets out there ?

A

Logan Millar and some other players from this year could also depart freeing up more cash to go after rats

Ryan and Brayden Gebert also will not be there next year

Where they going?

Where they going?

don't know. anywhere but Tlake and where loosing every second week isn't the club culture

 

[PerMitchCleary]

You’d think Taylor’s would have the money. Lost beugelaar as an coach and summerhayes which would free up a bit of coin and surely they had some left over anyway. If they were blowing the budget just to field the team they did this year they may as well fold now. Have heard beugelaar may not have been on as much as you’d think though

Also hearing that allot of the guys they had this year are offered significant increases to stay at dock lake in 2026. Baker, Finnegan and the likes about to go on a whole new tax bracket.

They Signed some guys already which they need to. Recycling the coaches with Lee Marshall and Deek Roberts going as an assistant is better than nothing. Deek might even be able to get a couple Nhill players to go over with him who knows. assume a few go back to previous clubs. Beugelaar was suppose to be going back to Dimboola but told on the weekend not welcome.

Does anyone know who was in the TOTY that they announced on the radio Saturday morning?

 

[sharpshooter98]

[chimp2022]

Swifts BnF winner Angus Murray off to test out the Wimmera league and has signed with the Warriors for season 2026 big loss for the baggies.

Got to respect the bloke for stepping up and having a go. Lots prepared to go the other way chasing easy money

rumours out of quantong that o’beirne is on the move after 2 years at the club, carra has moved to geelong, pumpa will look for a bit of money and senior games somewhere and ellis will join saints, nati or harrow, could be some decent players for the bottom teams to add
