Rumour has it quite a few have left to play elsewhere.
Seems their commitee has decided not to pay players nor coaches for around the 7th/8th year now in a row.
You’ve gotta feel for the players not having a commitee wanting success in higher divisions and giving the young players the opportunity of playing a better standard of footy with the help of a few recruited players. Pretty sure in this modern age even majority of the division 7 teams pay a few players let alone now a team in division 5, its a credit to them getting this far but sad to see it’ll be put to waste most likely and take them another how many years to get the next premiership. Funny how a few littler clubs around the corner including Central United and Brahma lodge can offer payments but a bigger recognised northern club can’t and haven’t done for years.
I heard years ago about money vanishing behind the scenes but thought that was all put to bed, would love to know what their sponsors cover over the years and where exactly the club profits have ended up.
Gonna be extremely hard to compete with teams like Gepps cross / kilburn just relying on the young locals and even harder to recruit chucking a new by a canteen voucher an his registration covered.

Watching a lot of footage of division 5 wasn’t impressive apart from the top 2 teams, it wasn’t far off Elizabeth, St Paul’s and Blackfriars. They’ll compete just won’t be a top team to beat really.
But comparing division 7 to anybody else is ludacrus
But yeah not good signs early for the eagles

The two Games we played against Heccies were tight as well. They are a pretty handy side.
I have my doubts the two coming up from Div 6 will concern many. Hopefully they recruit well and suprise.

With that being said, I'd still expect there to be a bit of a gap between the top 6 and the rest this year.

Add Rosewater and Heccies to that. Second time Heccies have looked more prepared.

They were going to suck next year in division 5 either way.. Won the flag last year in the worst division by far, the top 3 div 7 teams would have matched them for sure and the rest of division 6 would have been like the bottom end of 7.. No bell in the ball for them next season means a very long year, bring them back to reality a bit anyway.. Making average players look like stars last year chasing around a ball that made made noises every time you were close lol
