Name all these 3-4 ex AFL players or just spreading more rumours. I’ve heard one name but also heard a few ex players and retired players returning as it’s sparked some interest the move.

 

[damadpanther]

you lot don’t worry about us, some massive announcements to come. 3-4 ex afl will be at the den atleast we had 6 play this year

Hearing we are getting Thornton gielen bros back from centrals and will probably get a few of there better players jumping ship too

No rivalry with centrals we want whoever won the comp or thinks they are top dog

 

[TheGreatBambino]

Oh boy, here we go again.

Your 6 AFL players did wonders for you this year.

Every club already shaking in its boots
Told you all not to worry about us just make sure you stick around for a beer after a loss at the new home of the rdfnl grand final

Don't feed the troll..

as long as you have more hot chips than kyneton do I'm sure everyone will have a beer with the panthers

 

[rightfoot_sloth]

Did the league request that South change their home jumper owing to the clash with Centrals ?

 

[Turbos mail]

No they didn’t but in the RDFL you must have an away strip so that kind of avoids any clash. I think South got an exception year 1 but then must have an away strip.
South had those colours for many years and centrals were the ones to copy the colours when they became a senior club even though that’s irrelevant.

Would be an excellent venue for rdfl finals as public transport close and a major shopping strip close for any pre beers, as well as the country club. Great surface also but Romsey surface was also great.

They are required to have a clash strip for those games... Same as Kyneton did with Lancefield.

They didn’t have 6 ex AFL in 2024 BFNL either but if they can snag one full time then great advertisement for the league..

Agreed... Good for the league.

Melton has a population of just under 200,000 though. If they need to spend 200k to bring in washed up league players to chase some success it says a fair bit about that club.

Then on the way home get stabbed
