Premier 2026

[Bunk Moreland]

Who’s getting relegated? Like most I expected a two horse race (Berwick and Noble) but it’s very interesting.

Already a gap is opening up with the bottom four all having a percentage at 80% or lower.

You would think DE in sixth are safe given Mitcham would have to win four more games than them to overtake them with 12 games left.

Games against each other (6 games each for the season) will be critical for these four clubs.

Noble: Played 2, 4 to come
Berwick: Played 1, 5 to come
SC: Played 1, 5 to come
Mitcham: Played 2, 4 to come

That spells trouble for Mitcham however their percentage is a bit healthier as they’ve stuck with some good sides for quite a while.

Berwick the easier draw and the stronger % makes them look okay at this stage.

Noble and SC not out of the woods. Mitcham really need to put a run of good form and wins together at some stage.

Berwick vs SC already a big game this week.

Interesting to see Berwick is only about -80 in points for and against over the 6 games which is really positive, have shown they can score and defend!!

What’s the story with Jake Parente? Is it true he is not playing at all in 2025?

Only likes it when it’s easy.

Actually I can’t, maybe I’m thick

How do Vermont get 4 home games in a row?

Mental health

Mental health

Good for Jake. I'm sure he has other things in his life that he wants to focus on. Local footy isn't everything. He's been a very good servant to Mitcham

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Mental health

Fair enough

Hope he’s going well

Important to remember there are more important things in life at a young age then playing EFNL football.You are only young once, enjoy.

It has to do with the start of construction of the new changerooms. They get 4 away games in a row at the end of the year when construction starts

 

[Bunk Moreland]

That’s a bad loss for Noble Park. Can’t afford a fade-out like that, their % now the worst in the comp by some distance.

Mitcham and Berwick are below them but play each other in a couple of weeks so one of them will get another win.

Berwick have shown a bit… it all depends if Mitcham can get on some sort of run and string a couple of wins together.

It appears that Rowville have quite a few injuries to some of their best players and Tyson Sruk is playing at Casey and by the way he played on the weekend doesn't look like he'll be back for some time.

Looks like he was squeezed out due to AFL inclusions. Not sure what AFL aligned clubs offer VFL listed players that are still on the cusp or still trying to get drafted.

Training opportunities with AFL clubs to make up numbers for match sim, along with free apparel so local players can go around wearing it thinking they're a mad dog that they get to train during the week with Christian Petracca and the Daicos bros

I see Parente is in for Mitcham this week in what’s a big game for any hope to stay up in Premier.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

What's happening at Vermont. Two bad losses in 2 weeks, 3 losses in a row. Annihilated today.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Very big percentage gap opening up between the top 5 and bottom 5.

I see Parente is in for Mitcham this week in what’s a big game for any hope to stay up in Premier.

He played well and after all these narrow losses and the 23 goal loss last week to Rowville relieved that we finally have a win on the board.Vermont there next week looking forward to the rivalry yet again.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

Very big percentage gap opening up between the top 5 and bottom 5.

Only one game between 5th and 8th. Top 4 seem set, just the order to be determined.

 

[The_General#1]

Battle of Rookes Rd next week will be a good game to go watch. Mitcham v Vermont. Great to see Parente back kicking snags.

 

[good thing]

Surely Donny East get rid of there coach now
That’s as embarrassing as it gets

Berwick playing off 28 points Doncaster east using all 46.

Berwick playing off 28 points Doncaster east using all 46.

Berwick's team are probably also half the salary of Doncaster East. Great result all the same.
