Hume City - I think they are almost at basketcase point, a loss to Bulleen was probably expected, but the shellacking that got was not!
Agree re Camberwell, thought they would have a better record but they may gel in the second half of the season.

Keysborough and i expect Sth Pen had high expectations as they want to move upto Championship.I would say they are a couple of years away from that as they only now starting to get there structure right under the President/CEO.

Warnambool aren't underperforming... they are rebuilding and I think they were well aware of that when they started the season

Camberwell are underperforming, they just simply aren't deep enough. Apart from their big 3 of Lowery, Bryar and Lynch they really don't have much else to look to for scoring options. They were one of the deepest teams last season, what happened?

Warrandyte are obviously underperforming as well. They have been underperforming since the start of last season. Would surely have to be something to do with team chemistry as they do have a talented list.

Another team underperforming would be Melbourne Uni, talked up big recruits and signings at the start of the season and then apart from their big win against Warrandyte they have been less than impressive.

For me its Keysborough - runner-up in 2012 when they were probably favourites to move up to Div 1 then losing to Craigieburn Eagles in games 2 & 3 at home after winning Game 1 at Eagles!

They added some strong players after 2012 to the squad who probably could be playing Div 1 and Kevin Benn who has been playing Championship at Waverley so you would have expected a strong showing by this stage but they just haven't come together.

Maybe they are still hung-up on the grand final series loss.

Keysborough and Warrandyte for sure.

Don't think Camberwell fall into this category as they literally go 3 deep and in a tough D1M competition that is not going to get you into finals.

The Cougars from Keysie might be having some teething issues this year due to the influx of new talent.

Warrandyte have had the same core team and add the PG they needed but still can't fire, might be a case of two many guys who think they are the stars when really they ain't that good...but hey should be top 3 in confernece on talent levels alone so currently the coach would be feeling the squeeze!

Yep Melb Uni and Keysborough are the two biggest ones talked up the new rosters and havent preformed at all!
But think both could use a new voice to coach them.

Keysy just expected to be given the title. Maybe people forgot to tell them they still had to play for it.

This is nothing new for Warrandyte, they have had the best team on paper the last few years and have lost in the first round of the finals the last 2 years and will struggle to make it this year. Just proves you can't buy a championship.

A couple of teams in Div 1 like Melbourne Uni, Sunbury and Blackburn would have been disappointed with there start to the season but are starting to hit there straps now.

I think there is easily 6 teams that could win Div 1 this season, it's going to be a great second half to the season.

B-Man could you please name the 6 you think could win it?

Anon hit the nail on the head there, they are the 6 teams I was thinking of.

I still think that if Warrandyte manage to scrape into finals you wouldn't want to play against them.

Apart from that then I completely agree. Only 2 teams are actual threats from the West side.

The way warrandyte are going they won't make finals!

Sad to say but appears that money can't buy you wins, but maybe a coaching or personell change might be in order to get them heading in the right direction
