NFNL Div 1 discussion 2022

Heard on the grapevine a bit of their attention may have turned to securing a playing venue for next season.

Works are two months behind already. Feel for them with this being the case in their first season in D1.

Is the second oval not usable?

Been about the worst time in the last 30 years to try and re do a ground, has rained continuously for ages now.

Second oval is garbage, suitable for juniors only

In a worst case scenario would it be playable for Banyule?

It’s more of a paddock than an oval

It is fine for 1 season - good viewing, playing surface OK and as good as Hurstbridge and Whittlesea FFS

Too small. Two kick ground.

 

[Thunder1]

Both Banyule’s grounds are terrible.
Bad luck with the weather which you can’t control but one of the worst grounds in NFNL

It’s not

 

[Broomsticks]

I'm sure both Heidelberg and Heidelberg West respectively would be happy to accommodate them for a season. Fixture could be realigned like Macleod did one year where all home games were played at the back half of the season.

Hurstbridge surface holds up beautifully throughout the season and Whit can get a bit wet but it's pretty good IMO.
The 2nd oval at Banyule would be the worst oval in the NFNL if senior football got on it.

How is there such a ground shortage and that’s sitting there in such poor condition. Regardless be better than having no home games.

Surely the ground will be ready. It’s only November. How long can it take to do the works and lay the grass, then again it is the council.

I drove past on the way to work this morning and the grass has grown back on one side of the dig site

I believe an approach has been made to those clubs but looks unlikely.

 

[HBFlanker]

Greensborough College an option

Tough one as both Banyule and Heidelberg have a ton of junior sides also.

That’s hardly a footy oval.

Still plenty of time prior to footy.


How long does the grass take to settle? Surely if they lay it prior to Christmas it’ll be ready to go.

Obviously you haven’t seen it, great Oval and isn’t used on Saturdays

Have you seen it? One of the best grounds in the area.
