Juniors and 19s and his brother did play in the seniors as well
While there is an obvious connection (ground, jumper etc), based on previous comments I thought the juniors was very much a separate entity to the seniors? Good thing about PLAY HQ is that it allows you to fact check. Not doubting your knowledge of all things Ormond Bedford and no question that he played for Ormond juniors but no record of him playing a single game in the VAFA. Would seem he spent his draft year playing TAC cup and APS footy for Wesley.

Either way he will be a handy pick up for whichever club is fortunate enough to land him.

Keep your eyes out at The Sorrento Hotel for last minute signings this week
Having spent the best part of a fortnight (and another week to come) in the front bar, I can say on record that it was signings "galore" with representation from all catholics and even some "tertiary" heavyweights flexing their muscle with some potential recruits.

The juniors are separate , but for the last 2 decades have been very close
Might have been 17s as his last go, but i don't trust PHQ all the time

Hi Jon, a large birdie told me an ex AFL club CEO was overheard at the Sorrento Hotel telling his mates that “I just have to click my fingers and I will get Frost a job at AFL house”, providing he commits to Old Xavs.

Surely Gil could do the same?

Interesting times, surely he plays at the Lions? Maybe he doesn’t want to play down in B Grade against your mob?

Things are slow in here these days, very disappointing. There's a slew of recruits across Premier Section, with St Bernards being the most active, although the level of recruit there is debatable, as mentioned previously by a poster.

At the pointy end, I expect it to be another closed shop, with the top four already settled January 2.
OB, the defending premiers, OX, who were much improved in 2024, SKOB, re-building but coming off back to back under 19 Premier Grand finals and OS, with improved availability of VFL listed ring-ins, to play finals.

Uni Blacks will surprise, with a full time ruck from the VFL and an oft injured Cordy hobbling around, along with Uni Blues best Under 19 player jumping ship to Dale Power's men, should push into the top 5 of the ladder. Blues, on the other hand, will be battling to avoid relegation on the back of some HUGE losses, including the great James Stewart.

Then we have the also rans with Old Haileybury without their star goal-kicker who should play VFL every week, and rest when not, along with half a dozen boys who have left to join paying comps and the VFL. Marto however, has brought across the B and F winner from the combine with him.

Caulfield, Trinity and St Bernard's will do well to win a dozen games between themselves, with Bernies and Caulfied to crash through the cellar door, back to B Grade in '27, with no last round favours.

See you at the mid-year break when the great Dave Murray will lead the Big V to the promised land!

Nice wrap Mr Platinum
