TOPIC:

I belevie that Noranda got let off pretty easy considering what happen to Cockburn last year. With all 4 teams making finals in C1 grade, Noranda will be a powerhouse (you wood think). Some punishment?

Is Noranda eligible for a finals campaign this year?

Was Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls at north beach last year?? Very handy pick up for Nolla.

I think what Nolla are doing bringing some great indigenous leaders to the club is fantastic for the club. You can only hope it attracts lots players to the club when word is they are struggling with the requested transfers out especially to noranda. Both clubs being strong is only good for the area. Dianella not far away also have had a strong couple of years and very well run family club. Lots of choice or local boys wanting to have a kick

Throw a blanket over the top 5

Warnbro
Lynwood
Noranda
Ocean Ridge
Nollamara

Hopefully Nolla leadership can sort out their onfield disciplines. Des didn't seem to do much to help that last year. Interesting if they can get a club umpire aswell. Not sure the one that got punched by a spectator and player last year will be back.

Not sure Nollamara will being struggling for number if they can convince all the players who asked for a transfer to Noranda as most of the request where denied and haven’t been resubmitted, especially with who’s come on board to help the club out, on the other hand Noranda have already cleared out a number of players to Swan Valley and if an early post of one of the main stays has gone as well things could be tough for Noranda

Just remember these AFL recruits for nolla are 40 +. The only handy 1 is oakly nichols. To c nolla get rid of a 2 x premiership coach just shows how serious they are on moving fowerd

hay Free kick....that ex coach was Marty? if so i know why the player movement out of there has happened

a few cancellations of transfers from Nolla to Noranda, and to top it off a few jumping ship from Noranda to go to Coolbinia and Swan valley. Could be a tough year for the Hawks.

Agree, Noranda will be rubbish. Total clean-out from last year so they will be unrecognisable. Swan Valley will benefit from additional numbers but not necessarily remarkable talent. However if Coolbinia don't win in C3 then there is something very wrong - a couple of recognisable names going down a grade where it should theoretically be easier for them. Nolla to benefit from guys staying around, no doubt inspired by the names they have managed to attract this year. Expect these younger guys to make the difference on field, rather that the known old timers.
