My apologies mate I take it backBraybrook are in trouble? My we are misinformed.
Where was this announced?Glenorden has withdrawn from Division 2 in 2024. Will field a 3rds team instead. League will now have to re-do fixture again for the second year in a row.
They will be bottom 4-5Braybrook are in trouble? My we are misinformed.
Agree Turbo, they only have 4-5 premiership players left from 2022 and the new players look like thirds or Reserves players.They will be bottom 4-5
Cmon what recruits are any good?? Lost Gregson who was there best player
Care to bet on that cobber?Agree Turbo, they only have 4-5 premiership players left from 2022 and the new players look like thirds or Reserves players.
Bottom 5 I’d say, will only beat North Sunshine, Laverton, Heights and probably Rams.
Agree - quite possibly the worst fixture in WRFL history. On what planet is Nth Sunny against Albion, Sunshine and Newport in the first 4 rounds a good idea?New 2024 fixture for Div 2, what a disgrace this is. I want to make it clear I have no affiliation with any team.
How does this happen,
North Sunshine - Play all 3 Div 2 finalist teams from 2023 in their first 4 games, Albion, Newport & Sunshine. They will play these team twice.
Sunshine Heights - Play all 3 Div 2 finalist teams from 2023 in their first 5 games, Albion, Newport & Sunshine. They will play these team twice
Wyndhamvale - Don't play a Div 2 finalist team in 2023 until round 9. In their first 8 games they only play 2 Div 2 2023 teams being North Footscray & Braybrook.
Albion - 2023 Div 2 Grand Finalist team only play 1 team that played Div 2 finals in their first 7 games.
Wyndham Suns - Don't play a Div 2 finalist team in 2023 until round 10.
Newport - Only play 1 div 2 team from 2023 in their first 4 games, this being Braybrook.
This fixture to me looks like the WRFNL are trying to get any one of the previous year's Div 2 stronger clubs Albion, Newport, Wyndhamvale & Sunshine the best chance to play finals and be promoted to Div 1 in 2025.
As a local football supporter we only want to watch competitive games and not blow outs. The WRFNL need to consider how this will affect lower clubs that have not had success in recent years. It doesn't help any club winning or losing in a one-sided thrashing game.
By changing the fixture impacts all clubs as now they will be playing 18 games instead of previous fixture being 16. These additional 2 games would not have been considered by clubs when signing player and setting season player payment budgets. Every club now need to find additional funds for 2 more games of player payments in 2024 season.
My solution would be,
1. Have a 17 round season
2. There will be 3 groups of clubs listed below.
3. Each group will play all other teams in their group twice. The first and last 4 rounds of the season. Group 3 will be different which is listed in point 5 as there is only 4 teams in their group.
4. From round 5 you will start playing all other teams once from other groups.
5. Group 3 teams in round 17 will play each other again but the two teams that have either higher winning games points or if equal than revert to percentage will play each other. The two lower teams of this group will play each other.
Group 1
Albion, Newport, Sunshine, Wyndhamvale, Wyndham Suns
Group 2
North Footscray, West Footscray, Braybrook, Albanvale, Sunshine Heights
Group 3
Laverton, Western Rams, Tarneit, North Sunshine
I can only put my finger on 1 of 2 things:New 2024 fixture for Div 2, what a disgrace this is. I want to make it clear I have no affiliation with any team.

Care to bet on that cobber?
Name your top 4 recruits…
Name them then 1874..Top 4? C’mon, try the top 8.
Agreed. If most of the results go the way we expect, I don't see how these clubs attract players at all. Wouldn't be surprised if a handful of them are gone in a few seasons under the current structure.Going to be done shocking games of football in this division
Wrfl is going backwards.
Really need to get there hands on the melton teams an burnside etc
Why would they want to leave there leagues.
Melton centrals could be a realistic target
It is more likely that Division 2 shrinks over the next few years than grows enough to bring back Div 3 for the clubs that Div 3 is more appropriate.Agreed. If most of the results go the way we expect, I don't see how these clubs attract players at all. Wouldn't be surprised if a handful of them are gone in a few seasons under the current structure.
Yep, 50/50 at this stage.Anyone giving Lavo a chance to knock over Braybrook on Good Friday?
Some of them should go if they can't improve.Agreed. If most of the results go the way we expect, I don't see how these clubs attract players at all. Wouldn't be surprised if a handful of them are gone in a few seasons under the current structure.
They are not that close to each other at all. North Sunshine are significantly closer to Braybrook and Sunshine so doubt there is any benefit to Heights in that mergerCould sunshine heights and north merge ?
Yes Lavi by 2 goals.Anyone giving Lavo a chance to knock over Braybrook on Good Friday?
