Diggers by all reports. Riddell have turned over a fair bit. Just believe diggers then a bit of a gap.
Who do you think? I’ll try get down to a few this year. Hopefully no rain so grounds aren’t mud

I think it’s a very open race but yes agree diggers have to be favourite.

Works at the western bulldogs apparently.

I believe he lives interstate. I’m sure Riddell will be adding the travel costs into the salary cap deceleration
In all seriousness, the salary cap is not a real thing for the majority of clubs .

Correct
Former Dog returns to the Kennel in new welfare role
The Western Bulldogs have boosted their player welfare department with the arrival of a former player

Diggers would be favourites for sure but Wallan would have to finally go close.

Wait till you see Smart and Hill in full flight. Smart got the capabilities to snag 70 plus goals and Hill is an absolute bull who hits the score board, just have to keep him on the park and he is worth watching regardless if your supporting Wallan or the opposition. Will have plenty of tongues wagging going oh f**k that was tough at it. Spewing both walked from DP

My mail is Deer Park happy to let Smart go and he comes with issues. Hill is well liked though and should go well.

The powers to be were happy to see the back of him (apparently) but the supporters loved what he did on the turf. Hill is not only a beast on the ground he is a awesome human who does get involved with the supporters. From what I seen of both Vic and JC in 2025, I think these two bring alot more to Greenhills. Good luck to the oppo clubs stopping both of them.

Try 1985 …. A bloody long time
They won a division 2 RDFL flag in 1992
Not a single teammate will miss Smart. As selfish as they come, kicks large percentage of his goals out the back. Will apply zero forward pressure and that’s not touching the off field issues. Good luck with him. Dion Hill is built for this level of football these days and will be very handy recruit, won’t help Wallan’s leg speed. Regardless of who they recruit I will concede zero chance of Wallan winning a flag whilst Pat is involved, best case scenario is he doesn’t leave the club like he did East Keilor

True but Those within the club consider last flag to be 1985.

The boys welcomed him back after his departure to EK so saying not a single player will miss him is a bit wrong Gremlim. I agree his demeanour towards team mates was poor on multiple occasions, but his football ability to scout the pill even if it was out the back of the pack, he was very damaging!! Dion will monster this league, if fit and stays on the park he will go close to league B&F. Spewing Dion has left because the club looked after him but that's footy these days. I'm more surprised Zen didn't head up the highway with Pat, had him id say Wallan are well and truly in the hunt for the long awaited premiership cup. Hope Wallan get the results they're craving.

There is no doubt Smart can play. Seen him tear up a game vs Hillside one day. Was just unstoppable. But he has issues off field.
Wallan just need to ensure the local kids and others aren’t pushed aside for new recruits as that will create issues. So far it seems ok. Couple out and couple in is normal for most clubs.

You know Callum Moore is in the comp yeah ?
Dion won’t go near top 10 in the league count

I guess we'll have to wait and see. Fingers crossed both Dion and Callam play every week.
Tend to agree, generally takes a year or two for some players to become "known" entities amongst the vote giving cohort and what accumulation over in game impact looks like.
Makes young Pritchard's ability to grab the eye this season rather impressive.

Lachlan had a great season with his leg speed will only get better in the years to come. Also trying to get on Port Melbourne VFL list next year.
Surprised he left after staying 1 year? Not sure how much a club “could look after him” in one season..?
Centrals now have their Ruckman! Look out!
