EDFL Div 1 Discussion 2025

[Gremlin77]

Craigieburn will be closer to 1st than 6th. Back half of the year was sensational, have recruited a few and young group which will only continue to improve.

Would also have Tulla higher…. If they finish 8th after recruiting Covelli and Wunhym then should be a Royal commission into how.

All just opinions this time of year.

Oak Park
Taylors Lakes
West Coburg
Avondale Heights
Moonee Valley

Craigieburn
St Albans
Tullamarine
Ruperstwood
East Keilor

Oak Park- should be odds on favourite
West coburg- need to learn to cover the spread/ quicker ball movement- but strong enough regular season
Taylor’s lakes- have recruited nicely
crud- unreal finish to 2025, can they do now there’s an expectation?
Avondale- would be an injury or two away from bottom 4

Rupo- youngest Side in it- look to have recruited well
Moonee valley- have recruited well, is it enough to contend?
Tulla- need some support around covelli- if mckernan plays then a top 5- good luck defenders
St Albans- lost some quality, rebuilding
East Keilor- starting from scratch is always going to be hard

I think oak park with their quality coach coming in and being probably the best side all year just with hillside leaning at the right time are the team to beat.

WC - always around the mark but have lost a few so unsure if they will keep keeping on

Craigieburn - young brigade with another preseason and confidence could be the Smokey

Moonee V and Tulla - recruiting some names and they were competitive in games throughout the year and knocked off a team or two throughout I expect them to pick up spots on the ladder

Taylor’s lakes - AH - St Albans - all will be around the 5th-7th spot I would predict. St Albans looks like they have lost a few after disappointing year and Taylor’s lakes seem to have picked up. AH just have enough at the top end that’s better then most Div 1 clubs to keep them around the mark but don’t think they are close yet.

Rupert’s - could be the surprise package

Ek- could do the double, which isn’t great on any level off competition, but I think going down will be good for them to start again. They arnt a team I would want to be facing early on as they try to start the rebuild and could upset

Next year could be one of the more even years in already a fully even competition.

Prediction - Oak park flag
Runner up - Cragieburn
Coleman - Covelli
