Shepparton Big V should be D1?
The biggest thing with Shepp is the potential "red head 5"
If they get commitment from all of their best players, they will be able to field a ranga 5, which all reports say would then lead to Chris Novak looking to come out of retirement to play with Shepp to add to the firey red head patrol.
FEAR THE RANGA

Sometimes people make decisions on things other than playing ball at the highest level/getting paid the most. Maybe like wanting to move back home, maybe like needing full time work, maybe like starting a career?

How do you claim he is over rated?
C Bruce and Collier to Melton for the year sounds plausible, would be huge recruits if Melton pull it off. Would not wanna piss off other players purely cos these 2 plan on playing for 1 year.
What about T Pickert?

"Bartlett will be a good div2 player" come on now, lets not be modest about it. I haven't seen much of div2 but Bartlett will be more than good! Has spent the last 3 years involved with Bendigos SEABL program and got an invite to train with Melbourne Tigers over summer (I know its only Melbourne and you can say what you want about coach not knowing what he is doing, but its still opportunity to train with a NBL club)
Played very well as a 16-18 year old when shepp were last in BigV

I think everyone here are forgetting Melton.. These guys will be strong. Along with Keilor (who have been together for 3 or 4 years now)
Zaine Allen is a decent players.. but will far from dominated Div2.
Bartlett will be a good Div2 player.
But.. Kev Benn will be the only player who will truly dominate.
The teams in Div 2 will or should be relieved Horsham arnt in this year.
