They couldn't get anyone apparently. So Lockyers doing it . Thought they would get one easy seeing how strong they are in every grade.

Popular person around the club and Ballarat, so I’m sure everyone will get behind him. Can’t help but think maybe Sebas could of benefited having someone from outside come in and coach, instead of going internal again.

Have they lost any players ?

 

[Rooster76]

Both will be fine with the step up in standard

Rinaldi will be alright, big unit. Very experienced

has signed to play with Sandhurst. Will be disappointing news to Lake Wendouree, where he played one game in 2022 while a Box Hill player, and who would've expected him to join them after his delisting at Hawthorn.

Sandhurst is his junior club.

and Ablett jnr currently in discussions with south .

Sandhurst is his junior club.

Yes, aware of that. Lakers will still be disappointed though.
Good on him for returning to his home club

His father was one of the best Full-backs at Sandhurst and club President , his uncle Brendan Hartney captained the club and won a heap of B&F's so the connection is very strong.

Tough bastard Chris Greene. Think he might be the pres at Sandhurst.

Just read the Addy article about a successful recruiting period for Sandhurst. If Chris Greene is the pres, he should be happy with his footy ops crew. Most clubs finding recruiting fairly hard in an overheated market. Few Ballarat league clubs could do with that type of influx.

lol I hope this isn’t true, especially Swan

Surely they ain’t going down that road again

Issac Grant back to Hepburn. Huge loss for Redan. Why would he drop back to that level ???

By signing Rousch?
Obviously a pretty handy talent, hopefully, they can ensure buy-in long term.

It's his home club and his brother plays there. Hepburn are rarely out of the premiership window so the lure of potentially playing in a flag with Jordan would be very strong.

 

[Grimmett]

Brett Bewley to Yarrawonga??

Interesting post in the O&M section.

Interesting post in the O&M section.

I wouldn’t be suprised, his family has holidayed up there for years, plus ex Williamstown teammates at Yarra already.

Yarrawonga must have spare cash laying around in piles. Cost a bit to shift a dual Henderson Medallist and premiership player

 

[Alabama Slammer]

Yarrawonga must have space cash laying around in piles. Cost a bit to shift a dual Henderson Medallist and premiership player

As much chance of Daicos bros playing for Yarrawonga I reckon

Have since heard Yarrawonga did offer him a truck load but is staying.

Good numbers early pre season at Melton South judging by there Facebook pages. New coach having an impact already..

All the Ballarat teams have been fairly quiet this off season.
