SFNL Div 2 2025

[Wild Thing]

I think anyone of the top 4 can win.

EM beaten CH twice
CH beaten HP twice
Highett beaten EM twice
HP beaten EM twice
CH touched up Highett

Bad injury to EM player on saturday, wasnt sure who. Looking forward to following finals, anything can happen.

Springvale will suit EM's and Highett's youth and game style's. Fast and wide, expect them to run over teams late.

Highett are favs for me.

What if Highett lose this week and don’t get double chance? Long way back from 4th position…..think they can do it but still would have CH vs HP in the play off

Massive come from behind win by Highett. 5 goals to 1 in last q. East Malvern miss double chance by 1 goal.

That 1 goal will have massive bearings on the remainder of the season. Effectively can’t see EM winning 4 games now in a row against tight competitive teams.
Still reckon the winner of next weeks CH vs Highett Qualifying final will be favourites. Have my doubts over the Redbacks. The large Springvale ground will suit Highett youth and run….my query with them is will they get bullied around the contest from more mature bodies. Time will tell.

Are you hedging your bets here Wild thing?

Four of the top five sides have already had Division 1 experience since Covid, and with Hampton Park on the rise this shapes as a fascinating finals series. If they don’t grab it this year, they might as well put the feet up in 2026—because from all reports Cranbourne will recruit heavily and be every bit as strong as Brighton in ’23 or Beena in ’24.
Doveton has re appointed their coach for next season, which is interesting because they fired the previous coach after making a grand final so seems like a bit of politics in the background by a poorly run outer east team.
Caulfield bears appointment of Dunn has not improved the clubs position at all after 3 seasons too.

 

[local99]

Is Dunn going around again?
Caulfield, I agree haven't improved much and just stagnated.

he apparently is not playing for them next year

Arguably has gone downhill this year. No finals for Caulfield this year. Doesn't help he isnt there to Coach/play half their games due to his duties with Collingwood VFL.

Well to be fair, that's what Caulfield signed up for.

 

[God Yeah]

Any chance they could move off the postage stamp, not fit for junior footy let alone seniors.

East Caulfield Reserve is the only other available ground that springs to mind. Incidentally their juniors play some matches there

 

[TooooVeeey]

Bleeker to be announced new dolphins coach very soon

Bleeker to be announced new dolphins coach very soon

Same guy who previously coached CPL?

 

[Pendles1991]

Same guy who previously coached CPL?

Yep, and got fired by Seaford only 1/2 way through the season this year.

 

[TooooVeeey]

Same guy who previously coached CPL?

Yeah the same one

 

[Wild Thing]

Yep, and got fired by Seaford only 1/2 way through the season this year.

Yeah what was that about? Based on results alone Seaford weren’t travelling horrendously at the time.

Not really as he lives across the road from the ground it’s a 30m walk to the club rooms

Damian Rayson the connection if I'm joining the dots

 

[TooooVeeey]

Yeah what was that about? Based on results alone Seaford weren’t travelling horrendously at the time.

Wouldn’t have been an easy job a large club with a big history thinking its finals or get out of here

Club stalwarts pulling strings behind the scenes who are a bit delusional about where they're at

They have done some very good things cleared out all the bad club culture. They are just very young will be a couple years before they are flag contenders

 

[God Yeah]

Damian Rayson the connection if I'm joining the dots

Rayson, he could seriously play footy.

 

[Nepotism]

Rayson, he could seriously play footy.

An absolute Seaford legend

 

[Wild Thing]

Yes big club with good history but have been fairly average last 5 years. What was Rayson’s involvement in the fiasco?

No surprise doveton resigning their coach is his dad still the president? Cranbourne won’t lose a game next year!
