I think Nth have been over rated……..I thought they would be better….In reality though, it’s a one horse again.

I said that but agree with the reply, the points system has an effect on that. You can’t just go an pick up 10 players in an off season anymore.

They have Hurstbridge, Mont, Macleod and West in the next 4 weeks. They win 2 of them easily.
North have Eltham, Banyule, Hurstbridge and Heidelberg in the next 4 weeks. If they don’t pull there finger out it could be season over or close to it in 4 weeks time.
I respect you putting a big call out after round 6, most sitting on the fence. It would be probably the biggest failure in the last 3-4 seasons of div 1 if they didn’t make finals.
I think they have too many good footballers to miss. The answer will be there in 3 weeks. Eltham, Bridges, Yules before we hit halfway. 6-3 and the top 3 is alive and noise is gone.
Go 4-5 and they will have to scrap to finish in the 5.
Way to early to be writing off the dogs, could easily be the type of team who get on a roll and win the last 10 games.
northen depth may be the doggies biggest issue, another 7 goal lose in the 2’s and only the one win for the season over a terrible Bundoora side.
Definitely not writing them off but if they finish 4th or 5th can’t see them winning the flag
Statement beating a side playing to avoid relegation? Right….
Like a big win. Right..
That would be flat track bully’s not “statement”
True, reserves have been poor. I think the big part about this season is north is behind the eight ball but is anyone ready to pencil another team or two to take hold of second + third spot and then go deep in finals. Banyule great start to this year, Faulted in 2nd half of last year though. Mont will be around the mark (serious finals demons though which even the most Loyal mont follower know they exist.) Bridges looking solid but only 1 feature on the big stage last year was met with a 10 goal defeat. Any scars from that? And then Greensborough who credit due started well, but suddenly looking a bit Shaky. Not convinced anyone outside of the tigers is running on all cylinders. As much as the perception is, standard has dropped. 2nd - 6th is an absolute lottery which is a good thing.
I think anyone who checks Live scores on a Saturday would see most games are well and truly alive up until 3/4, early into the 4th. Bridges/macleod the only game I can recall that was lights out at quarter time.
Look in the Southern/Eastern leagues- 15 goal results everywhere.
EDFL premier on the weekend- 1ST V 2ND-
146-13!
Think the north League going alright

Curiosity got the better of me. Had to look it up.
60 + point wins through the first 6 rounds of each Premier divisions
ESSENDON DISTRICT- 8
EASTERN- 8
SOUTHERN- 13 (5 of them 100+ points)
NFL- 3
Fixture plays a little part of course but still paints a picture.

How bundoora doesn’t have a clash jumper?
They clash horribly with Montmorency, West Preston
One of the things the VAFA do at the start of every season is produce a list of all clubs, and who they clash with. Then there's no decisions to be made of who does what. They're the rules and you can plan the clashes out a long time in advance. Granted they have a lot more clubs and divisions but it's a system that seems to work well.
Might be something for the NFNL to have a look at, as it wouldn't take too long in each grade I wouldn't think.

Every local footy league should do something similar - it's very common to see clashes, and even worse when you're trying to watch the video footage.
(Sometimes it might be as simple as the home team wear white shorts, and the away team black shorts, but I'm sure some old timers may struggle to get their heads around that)

That’s exactly what should happen half the time. If a home team has a predominant white jumper, then wear white shorts. The West vs Bundoora game is the perfect example. West wear white and Bundoora blue.
roosterslife that would require a degree of common sense. Clubs should just arrange it themselves
In both these photos Bundoora as the away side should be wearing an alternative strip. It makes for horrible viewing when jumpers are remotely close as opposed to fully opposite

I wouldn't have thought it was that hard to differentiate between those jumpers, particularly the first image.

maybe not with a HD still shot 12 inches from your eyes - moving body parts and those jumpers/shorts 50-100m away become a blur

If you've difficulty differentiating between Navy and Royal Blue, I suspect it isn't the jumper that's the problem.
Play on though..
