SFNL Div 2 2018

[Burra4life]

It seems like some really good recruiting amongst Div 2 clubs, should be a higher standard in 2018.
Going back to an compromised draw & having Doveton Eagles recruited so well it should be a fantastic season.
Any early predictions on the teams to beat, I think Beena & Keysie probably are the 2 standouts at this stage.

 

[Tigersman]

Some good forwards coming into Div 2. Could be a few full backs having nightmares through the season!

 

[Greg Tivendale]

Bit going on in Div 2, especially down at Beena

 

[spindles11]

You on your way there GT?

 

[Burra4life]

Any current St.Pauls players heading to the Beena Arena?

You on your way there GT?

Sure am. Looking forward to getting back together with a few premierships teammates in LJ, Bruno, Wilson & Marasco.

Seem like a good club so looking forward to having a run around in Div.2 and playing against some new opponents (Keysey etc).

How many departing GT? If true that there is a few decent ones on the way out then that’s shame. St Pauls were a decent young side last season who looked to be one of the fancied teams in 2018.

There's no exodus of players at St Pauls, if anything they've gained some pretty handy pickups in Curtis Murfett (2016 Seaford b&f winner, only 20 years old), Matt Herbstreit & Brendan Dawes returned plus a few others coming back into the fold.

Their list is still very young and I expect them to be Top 4 no issues. They have already 55 - 60 players on the track thus far so in a good place.

Good to hear. They showed some promise last year and likewise I expect they will be thereabouts again in 2018.

Harley and I are the only "current" players who've come across.

 

[Burra4life]

Great to have such quality coming into Div 2 this year, particularly from Beena, Keysie & Dove Eagles

Harley and I are the only "current" players who've come across.

This is still in the works down at the Eagles.

 

[Frank and Beans]

Where did Doveton get all this $$$ from?

Running on a small budget at the Eagles mate, I assure you.

No one at the Eagles has spoken to him about a 6 game deal. Would be great though!

So you have spoken to him?
Just unsure about the amount of games yeah?

 

[Tigersman]

Any one have practice match info to share?

I was told Keysie have Springy this weekend. Would be a good hit out for both.

We have Hampton Rovers and Pearcedale booked in.

Haha, we speak to lots of people. If we sign a player of that quality it won’t be a secret long!
No Bartel signature at the Eagles to announce unfortunately
