Re: top 10 leagues outside AFL in Victoria

I would say the VAFA A section would be the best metropolitan league... Don't know who the best country league would be

I reckon Yarrawonga would have the measure of the above two clubs. They had a super side. Ednie, Hargraves, Wild, Runnals, Hammond, just to name a few.

Rock you great man.

3 or 4 years ago I would of agreed. Even maybe 2 or 3 years ago.

Mate, I am very confident that the E.D.F.L A Grade is that good.

The lists that these sides are providing a ridiculous for local level and the top line players are even to first admit how good it is.

It has grown mre than the others over the past 3 years and overtaken them. I can't prove it, but I really believe it.

Strathmore 2007 were guns.
Luke Williams (Melbourne), Micheal O'Brian (W.Coast),
Myles Quinn (WAFL), Paul Barnard (Essendon), Jeremy Barnard (WAFL),
Tim Harvey (VFL, VAFA), Adam Winter (Bendigo), Grant Holaman (Comp Winner), Dale May (Compa Winner), Richard Little, Jarrod Morrison, John Lindsay (all VFL) and then they have A Train Thomas (Sunbury Premierships), John Tate, Sam Hoath, Josh O'Neill who all have played in A Grade Flags.

You are kidding yourself. The GVFL and O&M would beat the top sides in the Eastern F.L. Yarrawonga would give the premiers from the Eastern a touch up.

I know a bloke who has played both A grade edfl and ballarat and believes ballarat is of higher standard. average out all clubs dont just rate the top 2 or 3.
Maybe it is because the grounds are bigger and more run and flow?

Ill have to disagree there gotheroos i have played oand m and diamond valley was a better standard than oand m it is 'nt now but the eastern is still the same and i think noble park or vermont would beat yarra by ten goals. In the eastern there are alot of bigger bodies as in the bush they are alot smaller Eastern is clearly the best local footy in victoria

Your right .. DVFL is up there. I have played in 4 different leauges now and the Diamond Valley has been BY FAR the best comp.
the likes of Hiedleberg - Bundoora - North Hiedleberg (northcote park in there day) Nrth Hiedleberg even Mont.. would smash anyone in the ballarat or mornington leauge on most days !
 
Re: top 10 leagues outside AFL in Victoria

I didn't mention the DVFL Chopsewie. I said the O&M and GVFL would beat the Eastern. I have never seen DVFL footy so I can't comment on that. But I have seen a fair bit of GVFL, O&M and also EFL.
 
Re: top 10 leagues outside AFL in Victoria

i will say it again, the hampden league has 2 be rated higher then the mornington peninsula league because we beat them in interleague in the 2006 competiton.
 
Re: top 10 leagues outside AFL in Victoria

Clearly Eastern are the best Metro league. with GVFL, O&M, Geelong the best country leagues. After that there wouldn't be much between a lot of leagues & would change from year to yaer depending on recruits & departures. But i'll have a crack at a top 10.

1st - VFL
Equal 2nd - Eastern, Goulburn Valley, O & M
5th - Geelong
6th - Ammos
7th - Diamond Valley
8th - Ballarat
9th - Hampden
10th - Essendon

In no particular order - Apologies to Mornington Peninsula, West Gippsland Latrobe, Bendigo.

Surely the GFL is the strongest league in country vic. VCFL squad and final team contained more GFL players than any other league and that was when other leagues didn't want them in because they didn't want to play interleague. Colbert didn't care becuase he know without the GFL players the VCFL would have got pumped by ACT. Come and watch a GFL game. Ask VFL footballers playing at Geelong who get dropped to GFL club to play. Can't get a kick. South Barwon would be the best country team by 5 or 6 goals PLUS.
