SFNL Div 1 2025

[unwise gamgee]

I don't think St Pauls/Old Ormond go past 14 s and Caulfield i would think are struggling for numbers

juniors numbers in the area end up being irrelevant as they all end up at the old boys clubs anyway

Bentleigh making up numbers.

Went down to watch Dingley vs Beena under the lights, 6:30 start, and Dingley as expected were too good! Bit of a let down after the game with not many players staying for a drink after the match though..

I’m not sure why the league allows night matches, especially in the middle of winter. Poor lighting at grounds, 8°C weather & people waiting around all day to play/watch local footy doesn’t bode well for atmosphere. Beena looked at the fixture & banked on Dingley’s big crowd for bar sales by the looks

My mate says this about Dingley each week. Said when he was playing at a high level, they would all drink with the opposition. Nobody drinks with Dingley

Night footy has its place, but only in April / May, when the nights are still warm(ish). If it was up to me, no night footy after King's Birthday.

Agree about the winter bit, though. This, and hiking from Port Colts to Narre on the last weekend of June, was senseless imo.

The game did feel a bit late for local footy but the lights at Murrumbeena are very good as they're brand new.I probably would've moved it 60-90 minutes forward.

4 45 is a better time

IMO local footy is best playing to its strengths and that’s 2pm Saturday. But some clubs are different and different times might work for them.

Probably makes it harder for volunteers

I love it because Hawks never play that time so I can go to every game with the mates.

Night games are like Sunday games. A hassle

Without checking I’m guessing this would’ve been a great opportunity for Beena to celebrate their whole club on the one day instead of just three teams.
No doubt would’ve had their women’s teams or thirds side playing on the same day too

Yeah 6 teams can make it a long day!

Dingley vrs St Pauls this weekend at Souter Reserve could be the preview of the Grand Final.

Close

2 womens games (1 forfeit), U/19s, reserves & seniors. Long day for committee & volunteers

Don't count out Cheltenham just yet at a neutral windy venue at RSEA

No doubt it’s a long day. But I imagine their committee and volunteers would’ve been proud to showcase the strength of their club and its teams all on one day

16 and Sunny. Could be a dirty day

Did Murrumbeena do something to upset Dingley? getting slagged off on the match report, must not have been a fan of the late game! As a spectator I thought it was a good day/night overall!
