Analysis shows three EDFL clubs have produced more than half the AFL, TAC Cup and state league talent from the league as blanket player points cap is set

AN ANALYSIS of AFL, TAC Cup and state league playing lists for 2015 has revealed more than half of the elite talent produced from the Essendon District Football League has come from three clubs.



Of 128 former EDFL juniors who took part in elite talent systems this year, Aberfeldie had 25 players, Keilor had 24 and Essendon Doutta Stars had 18 — representing 52 per cent of the total pool.

Greenvale came in with 14 players while the next best clubs were Strathmore and West Coburg with just seven each.

Nine EDFL clubs did not have any players in elite systems this year.

The figures show an uneven playing field for EDFL clubs under the new player points system which will be introduced next year.

Players who have been in elite talent systems are worth six, five or four points under the system unless they return to a club where they have played juniors, in which case they are allocated the minimum of one point.

As revealed first by Leader yesterday, the EDFL has confirmed it will be setting a blanket points cap of 50 for all its clubs next year — the maximum allowed under AFL Victoria’s statewide system.

“The EDFL has always been a supporter of the introduction of a player points system,” EDFL general manager Marc Turri said in a statement.

“While there have been some minor aspects of AFL Victoria’s Player Points Policy that led us to seek further clarification and discussion with AFL Victoria, we accept the policy and we look forward to its implementation in Season 2016.”

The announcement by the league came less than 24 hours after an independent report, obtained by Leader, was circulated to all EDFL presidents on Monday night which suggested a blanket points cap would do nothing to equalise the competition and added “if a league gets it wrong at the start then it will take them years to make the appropriate adjustment to get an even playing field for its clubs”.
