EDFL Div 1 2021

I don’t think it I’ll be a push over either. If hillside and Taylor’s were anything to go off and players are going to be this sloppy after 2 years off then anything can happen. Hopefully it’s a good hit out. Wonder if either side has their best team (within points) even available

Mate not sure of your football knowledge but they haven’t played for 18 months. No training either during covid. Football will be scrappy until rounds 3-5 I reckon. Lots of players lost interest so getting them motivated again and understanding new game plans will take time.

Only way to beat EK is to use the method of Craigieburn from 2019. Go hard and hit the contest and bring ball to ground, run and spread fast with ball control. This method has worked and from the outside I think EK’s pace has not improved.

Shaw, Laguda & Brancatisanco inject a heap of pace into EK

I think the players they lost bs players in and they have gone for experience and height over youth to get them all the way. Grabowski out and he was quick plus others.

Be interesting as WM historically try to intimidate teams but that won't work with EK as they are too big and tough. EK to target Costello early and make a statement that the Big Dog is in town, set the scene for the rest of the season.....

I love hearing turbo say this, like I said... they have more pace then HS and we can chat round 2 about pace. Very very different team from what he’s used to seeing. Acting like he knows anything about any teams bar HS.

Agree with the comment above tho, will take a good 4-5 weeks for teams to get going at capacity again.

Add lock to that list he’s faster then all the above haha.

I know more than you think mate. Hillside very young and fast. I’m guessing if EK win you will respond by saying that’s due to pace. However let’s watch the game.

Heard a rumour Stewart out for a while due to an injury with both hands. Any truth to that Bash??

Listed radio Match of the day is ABERS v Greenvale

I’m waiting for the EK side to go up.

I still am of the opinion if a club is looking to go up to premier you need to be around 40-42 points max on a consistent basis otherwise doesn’t allow much scope to recruit A graders for premier standard. Thoughts!

Abbers vs the jets wont be a close game, waste of match of the day in my opinion.

What game you heading down to this weekend?

EK team yet to be released, hearing of points issues! bad calculations or an attempted repeat of 2019......

Neither has WM or Rupo.. You do know edfl allocate the points right? clubs just lodge a list with their calculations and EDFL recalculate it up or down. Speaking of points. EDFL messed up Hillsides points prior to their game, under calculated and luckily they rectified prior to kick off (they were under regardless). Also there are miscalculations on tullas sheet which is interesting because a couple players there should be more. EDFL really need to employ someone that can count to a maximum of 6.

Why do you say HS were lucky they were rectified prior to the game when they were well within there allocation.
Surely the league would say to lodge teams prior to a certain time and then any club above 45 points needs to inform the league so they can double check. Bloody pretty simple common sense one would think. If a side risks going over then they should lose there points if they win and be suspended for x number of weeks. That’s my view.. This is a professional game and if club X can afford to spend good dollars on players (clubs high on points are usually the ones spending the most $$) then surely they can get someone to count properly and then contact the league for verification.
But hey let’s lodge the team late and do a dodgy hoping the league won’t pick it up till after the game and they keep the points, % the whole lot..

 

[Innovativefwd]

Anyone know about an altercation between a former hillside player who was serving it up to his old team mates last Friday? Mail is things turned south quickly, even had to call his new coach to get him home safely from all reports.

Makes for a good round 2 if true....

Lucky wasn’t the right word. Meant more lucky for the league they rectified and didn’t cause more dramas for themselves.

Teams player points were allocated when hillsides were etc (start of the week) by the league mate it’s leagues job to allocate points no one else’s. If they make a mistake and people pick it up then great. It should be adjusted, but But no club should be punished for the league being utterly useless and can’t count. EK were not the only team to play over in 2019 so we’re TL but u conveniently forget about them.

We won’t agree on this because if we reverse the story and it was hillside whose points were mis calculated 2 seasons ago and they played over then my view would be the same. Leagues fault. Where as your view would change and agree with me.

We have been rated the 4th best league and we can’t have officials calculate points correctly how can any club be punished if the people employed by the league can’t count and allocate correctly.

There are two blatant mistakes on Tullas list now.

Things must’ve changed in recent times. When I was involved at a club it was up to the clubs to submit players points then the league reviewed it and made changers if their was an error. So don’t always blame the league. Clubs will do anything to get an advantage and that included cheating like EK did 2 years ago.

Another pointless irrelevant opinion from a one eyed EK hater.

how about TL? they were over also.. they cheaters too? But Yeah that is how it works now with the points. My point being is a club could essentially be able to lodge every single player at 1 point and the league SHOULD be able to pick it up.

That mean hillside and tulla have cheated this year? They lodged points lower then what they should be. Hillsides were picked up, Tullas have not been. Are they cheaters cause their point calculations were wrong ???
