I was not there today but full credit to cranbourne they were lucky to win last weekend but got the job done. Must have been a great game today well done cranny and back to the drawing board for Cheltenham the drought continues!!
Long, long drought. This was their chance! Huge effort by Cranny first year in the comp 1 Division 1 flag. Cheltenham last in 1934
Chelt the taller side weren’t helped by the atrocious weather but Cranbourne turned around the deficit, think the Rosellas had won 16 in a row tooLong, long drought. This was their chance! Huge effort by Cranny first year in the comp 1 Division 1 flag. Cheltenham last in 1934
Cranbourne played on 22 player points on Saturday, the same as the Second Semi Final team against Cheltenham which had 22 pts also so not sure if you were there watching or just heard about it , in fact Fox not playing full forward for Chelt could have been a factor but Cranbournes smaller team seemed suited to the wet weather, the Rosellas had won 16 straight games so it was devastating just like 2019. Bentleigh winning 3 games for the season need to keep their U 19s but time will tell
Cranbourne have been a great addition to the league. Got a good band of diehard travelling supporters and obviously a strong successful club (who will only get stronger now they know what to expect in the SFNL). An extra team in the 19s as well! They have sent a benchmark for other teams to strive for. It was also great that they didn’t whipe the competition either (think they lost 5 games) which shows that others are close and also that it was the right fit for them. This gauges well for other teams who may look at coming across eg: Narre Warren, as they will know it won’t be a walk in the park!
What makes you think Narre Warren will join EFNL ??? from all reports SFNL are lobbying Narre hard to join SFNL and start in Divvy 1, while EFNL have told Narre that they would start in Div 2 if they were to come across, and also if they were to come across they have to give Outer East 12 months notice of their intention to leave Outer East, as Kinglake have just found out. Unless AFL Vic come to play. Would be great to have Narre join SFNL and reconnect the old rivalaries of Casey Cardinia and SWGFL.
Yes they probably should be in mpnfl they said one of the main clubs opposing it was Sorrento because of travel but they are happy to travel to edi-as and bonbeach which roughly the same distance think some clubs didn’t want another good side to compete against there loss and sfnl gain and goes to show sfnl Div 1 is a bit stronger than some think as Cranbourne didn’t dominant like some thought they would
Southern Bayside clubs , not Eastern or clubs like Narre Warren
I did 4 divisions in lockdown , really don't want Schoolboy teams or Uni ones they can F off
Love this idea what would a rough Div 1 and Div 2 be based on this model? The rest I could probably figure out….be remaining SFNL teams but would be interested to see what MPNFL teams you place where. Happy for you to do the whole league if you have time?? I suggest 10 team divisions as they work best (even home and away games playing each other twice).
So we include half the Clubs in VAFA C Grade as well ?
