There are more that are leaving clubs but just haven’t been announced on socials by clubs

 

[nuggetyforwardpocket]

Sol Kelly from Calder signed with Ultima today

 

[Footy Pie]

Seen on social media earlier that the Arho brothers are off to Mitiamo. Brent’s 3rd club he’s signed for in 12 months! Was he moved on from Donald or left them?

What the hell are Miti thinking overpaid and underskilled waste of money.

 

[Trent from barwon Heads]

Arnho has a niche market, he goes to clubs no chance of making finals, but need someone to kick to fwd of centre and kick some goals, so they might win a few games.

 

[johnnymossop]

Will Donald field two teams in 2026?

 

[Stottzy]

Buchanan has been announced for the Bulls. Massive to retain him.

Great news for the bulls as they look to go one step further. Smart recruiting / retaining of locals. I think it’s there’s to lose

Do we think anymore recruits will be announced or everyone’s now finished?

Heard nothing on Sealake & recruiting but have them 3rd
Weddeeburn retention and top end recruits have them 2nd for me
Calder lost too many & there recruits don’t cover there losses, 4th
St arnuard to miss by percentage , and will feature 4 team of year players
Donald to improve the most and finish 6th , will be professional outfit
Boort back 3 steps & heard of no recruits , hoping for local talent
Charlton trying hard but just can’t seem them at all competitive . Wooden spoon

Who have Birchip actually picked up that will replace Rippon brothers, Edwards, Hosking & Ryan ect?

Rumours are Calder have signed Kamden McIntosh who would be a huge get

 

[Trent from barwon Heads]

Calder are 6 goals clear

I’ve heard some rumours in my time, but this takes the cake
He’ll be playing metro footy if anything

Your 4th placed prediction for Calder takes the cake

 

[FootyLife481]

Early ladder prediction
Calder- still stacked
Wedderburn- kept nearly everyone and added some very good pieces
Sea Lake- haven’t heard much on recruiting side but still have plenty of guns
Birchip- lost a lot. Probably the biggest losses and side could have. Don’t think they have brought in enough to cover them
St Arnaud- will improve but won’t make finals
Charlton- won’t be better than the year before with Collins
Boort- lost a lot and haven’t heard much coming in. Big sliders
Donald- heard their recruits aren’t much but still will be better than last year which isn’t hard

Tigers will get a few recruits from the new coach before the start of the season

Let’s wait and see. Still waiting to hear who Birchip “inclusions” are that has them their flag to lose? Whilst we are at it, Robin Nahas to Sea Lake!

 

[chimp2022]

Nahas will put a few boys to shame in the showers after the game at least!

Was it a Wyche or Nully bloke that upset you?
