43/46 player points for Vermont today so they’ve still got plenty of big guns in there.

Been common knowledge for weeks G.
That said there is still some very good players running out for them each week & their 2s continue to do well.
As per Bunk a club cannot afford to lose the players they have over the last few seasons. It was apparent to me early on but I follow the division a bit closer for obvious reasons.
They will top up & come again in 2023, enjoy it while it lasts.

A serious question as I was asked, when was the last time Vermont missed the finals?

To my surprise Vermont missed finals 2010 and 2011.One of those years Scoresby was on top so a lot has happened in 12 years.My understanding is Vermont have missed finals 3 times in over 30 years but unable to confirm.As for missing finals 2022 mathematically I think they can still make it but will need a lot of luck and doubt it.Be warned they will be back 2023,a great club over a long period of time.

2020 would be the most recent.
But before that 2011.
Another aspect to ponder is will Adam Parker be re appointed for next year?
While last season was wrecked half way through with Vermont sitting on top and even though Parker was a very successful and highly regarded player at Vermont, they have been pretty ruthless in the past in seeking success.
Interestingly Parker was at Scoresby at that time.

I'd think unless an elite candidate was available or Parker wanted to step down, they'd stick with him. Not a lot the senior coach can do when the senior club has just shy of 20 players unavailable at times during the season.2020 would be the most recent.

While we are on the subject of Vermont there is something that has bothered me for a long time. In 1969 a young 17 year old, Robert Parks (he was a year behind me at school) kicked 7 goals in the EDFL Grand final for Vermont at Mitcham. His last kick with 20 seconds to go, scored a point. That point resulted in Vermont winning their first ever EDFL Premiership over Blackburn by 1 point after trailing all day. In 1971 he played in their second premiership. In 1978 he headed the EDFL goal kicking with 75 goals. In 1994 and 95 he coached the Vermont U19's to flags. In 1997 he coached the Vermont 2's to a flag. Pretty good achievements for anyone! So my question to all the Vermont supporters is, why isn't he a life member?
His mum is!
His mum is!
Huge comeback by Rowville at the Bullpen 7 goals down and winning
A result like that is a big psychological win heading into finals too.
Premier is shaping as an absolute cracker of a finals series, I reckon any of the five clubs could beat each other.

We won by 5 points to keep them out the finals for the first time in decades I think. Was a big night 
Don't worry . They will be back boys.

Will be interesting to see the result of the report. I did hear it was more an accident than anything, negligent?
Great to hear Eli is on the mend could have been far worse.

The reports as per his health are all positive.
Herald Sun says a fractured skull, but all things considered he is doing okay.
Apparently he went over the fence and hit his head on rocks near the coaches box.
Watched some footage of the game (not the incident, it's not there) and can't see where there's any rocks. Both coaches boxes seem to be surrounded by concrete as most are.

Not in Qld BM - the AFLQ allocate the points to every player who registers. Saves this sort of thing happening...
Same with most leagues in WA.

From the EFNL News.
The Eastern Football Netball League and its members wish Eli Templeton all the best with his recovery, after he sustained a head injury in the early stages of the third quarter in Saturday’s Balwyn v Doncaster East Premier Division match.
The EFNL welcomes the news that Eli was alert on Saturday evening and is expected to make a full recovery.
The EFNL would also like to praise the work of club trainers, physios, and other medical staff, who cared for Eli before paramedics arrived on the scene.
We look forward to seeing Eli back to full health in the near future.
The fence looks low. Around waist height or even a bit lower when looking at the spectators... most ground fences are higher by at least a few inches.
The footage is doing the rounds. He's pushed toward the coaches box / fence by Clarke, but it doesn't looks terribly forceful. It kind of looks like he jumps and turn to avoid the box, and ends up basically facing back toward the field. From there he goes backwards over the fence and I assume lands with the back of his head on the concrete. Nasty.
If anything I would say the fence is too low and needs to be higher to be effective.
I can put the footage up here but really it might be best not to, I'm guessing the league removed it from the website for a reason.
Balwyn want a tougher penalty... gee wonder why
