NFNL 2023 Div 1 discussion

[10571z]

My early predictions

Heidelberg
North Heidelberg
Bundoora
Mont
Boro
——————
Hurstbridge
West Preston
Banyule
Macleod
Whittlesea

Tbh 5th to second last is a complete guess.

I agree with you to an extent - The DIV 1 games that I saw with the top 4 sides were a class above
Didnt see a lot of the bottom 4 sides but I did see games with Hurstbridge & Whittlesea and neither of them were better than top DIV 2 sides
Based on your logic do you think Northcote Park goes straight back to DIV 1?

No I don’t think Northcote come back up. People are saying Banyule can play finals which is what I don’t agree with. Second last for mine, Whittlesea relegated

Anyone have practise match details for DIV1 or DIV2 teams?

Anyone have practise match details for DIV1 or DIV2 teams?

According to Eastern website Whittlesea v Mitcham at Whittlesea March 17

Lot of optimism for North Heidelberg. Can't see them playing in Grand Final for mine.
Its Heidelberg then daylight.
Macleod , Greensborough, west preston all around the same ( anywhere between 4 - 8)
Whittlesea or Banyule to get relegated

Finals showed Heidelberg and Bundoora were very evenly matched. So it's not daylight. Plus Minogue is a massive loss for Heidelberg.
I agree they are the best team in it.

Banyule were probably similar to Whittlesea last year. Whittlesea have lost players and barely recruited.
Banyule have recruited almost 10 players. Only problem now for them will be their points. Whittlesea paying $1.03 to go down

Another one out from Boro according to the Div 2 page.

When will it end.

Yeh I knew Bedford. Sorry I meant everyone this pre season

 

[10571z]

West Preston with a good recruit

Good to see a bloke taking the challenge like that

Good to see a bloke taking the challenge like that

Interesting to see how he goes. Not many come up from Div 3 and become Div 1 stars. There has been a few. Good luck to him

 

[HBFlanker]

Will Banyules ground be ready in time for the season? Any update?

Doesn’t look like it, still haven’t laid the grass.

Training at coburg vfl atm. He will be handy at D1. Maybe not a “star” but he can seriously play.

1st home game is set for Round 7 vs Whittlesea on May 27th. At this stage we have 2 home games at AK Lines, however, this may change

Thanks for that. Makes sense.

Baddeley-Kelly is 1 that comes to mind. His rise from Lalor to North H and then Williamstown and Coburg has been remarkable.

Thought he wasted one year of his footy when he returned to Epping. Good to hear his back at North Heidelberg
