NFNL div 2 2026

[Manang Rover]

Correct.... and no GTD in 2027. Just saying that he absolutely flogged us when we played him this season and is a great pick up for the Stars.

Over everyones head

Zain Yamak has crossed from Greenvale to Thomastown next season, bringing my count to at least eight clubs… Thomastown, Greenvale, Hillside, Pascoe Vale, Avondale Heights, Keilor, Strathmore, Hadfield.

Buyer beware. Doesn’t contribute to any club in any way off field and is clearly at each club with his hand out.

Checked his Play HQ Profile. He has only played senior football Avondale Heights, Pascoe Vale, Hillside & Greenvale since he became a Senior player in 2020. All the others you listed are Junior clubs. So was wondering how much did he get paid at those Junior clubs?

4 Senior Clubs in 5 years is probably what he is getting at

Buyer beware. Best of luck to him and Thommo but if it goes south they can't say there weren't warning signs!

There are plenty of players who have had plenty of clubs over 5 years, was more he was making it personal like he had something against him. Anyway no doubt they already checked what he has done before signing him, is very easy to look up these days and ask in interviews.

There are players who play for loyalty and friends, others who play for level of football and others for their next contract(money). Whichever they choose is up to them.

How far can parade go with their recruiting?

Could they play off in a GF? Or still to far a bridge?

If they can keep the blokes around and start dropping some points so they can all play then maybe next year or the year after but this year I would of thought it would still be out of South Morang, Whittlesea and Macleod.

St Marys and Parade probably round out the finals.

Yep, I’d think so as well. Will Macleod contend again? I’m not so sure.

Genuine question.... Why not?

Have they lost much from the Grand Final team?

Fitzroy Stars are not coming up to survive. Expect them to contend immediately. With Nev Jetta's input they not only have an excellent coach however also have a very good recruiting team

 

[NorthernBastard]

2025 Div 2 there felt like a bit of a gap after the top 3 - based on recruitment and player movement, it feels like there could be more teams seriously in the mix with Stars & Parade.

I think Parade def top 5 but Fitzroy Stars to contend with their list. Top 5 would be Macloed, Stars, Whittlesea, Sth Morang Parade and NP 6th! Hard to know where South are at??

I think you are underestimating St Marys.

Most likely as I haven't seen them play since 2024, gonna be tight for 5th spot

Is there any possibility that Thomastown who made finals in 2024 could be up there again with some recruits and Paul Harris directing a fresh game style.

No chance.

How do we see Lower going?

They were a funny team last year...

Came 6th with 7 wins and almost knocked off Macleod.

But they also lost the Watsy and Thomo and only had 1 win against the teams above them.

Looks like they have signed a couple from a quick look at Facebook.

Probably a mid table team. Would expect them to better than Panton Hill and Thomo.

Anywhere between 8th and 5th.

 

[Bojack Horseman IV]

No

Said from a man who doesnt mince his words

 

[10571z]

Should be an interesting year. St Mary’s could have found the gap to sneak a flag imo.

South Morang have had a lot of talent walk out. Will be interesting to see how they adjust.

 

[10571z]

Heard a pub rumour Buddy could line up for a few games for the stars. Could be BS

This would be the greatest recruiting coup in local football.
I read he was living on the Gold Coast ?

I think more a one off game type of thing.
