Digs as one of the most passionate North Ballarat supporters we are yet to hear of your assessment of Josh - is one to assume that you feel he may have done with another year at North Ballarat before heading to your second favourite club?

I think his approach at Port will be similar, he has signed several younger players and have yet to see a significant influx of older experienced players like we saw in recent seasons. Well known for player development - Hird believes Brendan is the best developer in the game which he said he will focus on.
Red has resigned today which is pleasing as I feel we need that bit of pace he provides.

Punter in the states, big shoes to fill, need to find another key forward. Boys we have forward are all capable but now missing a key target man.
Will Martin has signed again for Port, signed last year but then moved to Queensland. Good pick up. Wonder how many spots have been filled at Port, sure have been busy.

Charlie Lazaro picked up from North Melbourne after 39 AFL GSNES, pick up a replacement for Gowers and Felix and a couple more strong vfl players (we are nearly there but probably just a few high quality vfl players off being a real threat) and then it is expected to be *best con the fruiterer voice* BEAAAUUUUUUTIFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO season.

Josh Sparkman is another signing with a North Ballarat background. It looks like the Borough have been very keen on the North Ballarat angle.
* It's time to restore the VFA name.
Not for the first time NorthPort !
We might be from the bush. but we ain't green

Sparkman is good enough Mega has played several games at Footscray in the VFL.
Current B & F at the Roosters although may have been a little lucky with an injury to Riley two thirds into the season.
Maccas philosophy at North was solely directed at development & it looks like that direction is starting to pay off.
Totally different approach at Port.

Paul Amy reporting Billy Gowers is moving on ..... to another sport

No doubt Gowers is a big loss as he has that X factor and added so much goal scoring power to team.
We have recruited very strongly, but no one of the calibre of Gowers in that forwards role.
I do wonder how many spots we still have vacant on our list. There has been a lot of recruiting for this early in the 2025 campaign.
* It's time to restore the VFA name.
There have been several more signings down at Port as well as the men's coaching panel being announced. I'll endeavour to have them updated here.
For the first time in many years, I won't be at the clubs AGM, which is normally a great opportunity to catch up on club news.
