Don’t you know something I don’t know? I have them in the 5th-8th bracket. I would be beyond surprised if they can get near Elizabeth.

If you build it, they will come.

That been building for ever

Rosewater made finals last year and now predicted to finish bottom?? They must have lost half the team.

Ingle Farm will finish bottom. Gut feel is Blackfriars may be in the 8th position.

Top 2-3 will be a fair way ahead, but can see it being pretty tight from 4th to 7th.

Houghton for me are the unknown, they've been very consistent for a number of seasons now, seem to be close but not quite, but they've also kept a pretty consistent squad - it'll be interesting to see if they take that next step to finals, or lose a couple players and drop away?

Rosewater have added a few to their side from last year, hard to see them sliding downwards.

Nothing like a positive coach, that'll attack plenty.

Haha internally we are positive - but our expectations have shifted. You can't lose the cattle we have and expect on field results to stay the same.

Doesn't mean we wont be trying to win every game, but you've also got to be realistic.

Develop the kids, reset and focus on building a positive culture.. and we will get our rewards eventually. If we can avoid relegation that would be amazing, but lots of work to be done.

.... or just do a Lutheran and load up our B/C grade

Sure there is heaps more but this is what i have seen on facebook or heard around, feel free to add to the list

I've heard there are a fair chunk from BSR heading to Gaza as Mapstone was the coach and BSR no longer exists.

Mason Pitt obviously left Ingle Farm to Para Hills, then followed Terrel to Balranald, also heard Jett Smith has already left Para Hills also, having to return home to Yorkes. Connor McAuliffe also left Ingle Farm back to Hope Valley, and pretty sure Grant Wanganeen is heading back to Rosewater.

Heard Hodge has left OSB to one of the Hills sides?

Rosewater added Eric Rigney back from PHOS didn't they? Their inclusions look stronger than their outs.

Blackfriars have been super quiet, Sam + James Ellis onboard? I believe Fitzroy have been circling for players, but don't know how much luck they've had, and i've spoken to some lads from Broadview who have also been chatting to BOS, so who knows.. the great unknown.

Where do you get all these?

Facebook pages when clubs make announcements.

Keep up Boomer.

The Mallee Football MF&N page is really good

Well done to anyone who has had a crack at the ladder. It’s a tough guess in January

1. Elizabeth
2. Trinity
3. Gaza
4. Rosewater
5. Para Hills

6. OSB
7. Houghton
8. Ingle Bedge
9. Central United
10. Blacks

I just noticed when checking the poll that CU are in there but no-one has included them.

No doubt one of the bottom 5 will make the prediction look average and I have probably over estimated one of the top 5

Yep between the 3 sources

- Club sources eg. Facebook pages and speaking to people involved
- M F and N Sports Results on Facebook
- SA Footballer

You tend to get most signings. Some of the upper divs have been deliberately very quiet. Between the Posts will be doing a Feb show with all the comings and goings for 2026 I believe.

Trinity being over rated on here. They’ve lost puvogel and matters. They’ll be average at best

AdFL R&R - Section 8.3 (c)

The League retains the right to ensure that the lowest Men’s “A” Division has a minimum of eight (8) teams by the following methods where the League has sixty-seven (67) “A” Division teams the lowest “A” Division and Reserve Divisions will consist of eight teams and the second lowest “A” Division and Reserve Divisions will consist of nine (9) teams.

With Mawson Lakes gone from D7, unless a new club joins - or a C/D grade club goes into D7, then Units as losing Grand Finalist stay down.. well at least that's my interpretation.

The reduced time demands of Div 2 should free up a bit of time for you, Jimmy!
