Might give Castello a run for his money for the comp medal if he can stay fit

Yeah agree but Castello likes to talk to the umpires so that’s in his advantage

 

[Bissa3]

Fantastic to see a club like KP bounce back like this after going under. Will be interesting to see how they recruit over the coming months with the contacts Castello has it would not be a surprise to see them enter the season as one of the favourites. Robbie has had his injury troubles of late but the bloke could play permanent deep forward and kick 60+ with his eyes closed in this div. Cavka will also just take the p155.

yeah it’s great for them. To see what they endured prior to last year and with the addition of new players and coaches over the last year or so and these two guys, clubs can turn things around quickly if they have a plan and vision, and the balls to do it. well done KP, I like seeing success stories.

And they have juniors. It all started a few years ago now on the back of building there junior numbers so these guys need some credit as well.

Slow and steady build at Keilor Park. They have been acquiring players for the last 2 years since the new coaching staff have come on board. They barely had enough players for a senior team in 2019 and had players missing out on thirds games this year. It has been a massive turn around. From all reports they have done a terrific job from a culture point of view at the club and it is now paying dividends with some big names coming. Well done KP.

Keilor Park could be favourites for next year, 1 point junior also returning who has had premier experience

They played some good footy last year but also had some big losses. With their signings so far they will definitely improve on their 6th placed finish and be in the mix. I still think Oak Park will be the team to beat considering their list has been together for quite a while, but KP could be anything. Taylors Lakes are a bit of an unknown as well, along with Coburg Districts who turned it on in the second half of the season. Div 2 will be interesting next year with no real clear favourite. Could be a year decided by injuries and getting everyone fit and healthy come finals.

Oakers will be favourites and KP will improve definitely and catapult them into The four. Taylor’s Lakes will be no slouch. Disticts will add to their list and be better. Anyway too early to tell, I feel Haddy can still improve heaps. They have signed an ex Sainter, and he is a real goer. Between these 4 teams they are my early call at this time.

Oak Park. Taylors Lakes.

DAYLIGHT.....

Then the rest.

4 teams fighting out the wooden spoon.


I have a close mate at Coburg Districts, he says they wish they were still in WRFL div 2. Not edfl div 2 which is technically div 3.

WRFL Div 2 on par with EDFL Div 3?

Feel like Parkside would wipe the floor with most teams in this comp.

Anyway I get the feeling OP and Lakes will be the top two sides. Agree with you here.

Anyone heard if Hobbs is staying at Taylor’s Lakes?

Districts are close but just lack 2 or 3 A graders to finish off the side ,they are well run off the field. The off field component can run with the best run clubs in the edfl

Districts were unreal in the second half of the season. Apparently they had injuries in the early half of the year. They won their last 6 games in a row. They only lost to Oak Park by 8 points. If they keep their list healthy (which it wasnt early) they are the real deal.

Still need the A graders to finish off the team to go up and the stabilize in the next div . Going up a Division is a big jump in standard and fitness also in body shape. Chunky slow players don't cut the mustard in the next div

No Keilor Park in that mix? They are starting to get some real talent in.

Why would 2 or 3 A Graders go there lol
It's basically DIV 3.


Premier (1st div)
One (2nd div)
Two (3rd div)

LOL

many reasons.....
Play with mates
getting towards the end of their career (slowed down a bit)
cash $$$$$$$
dominate

Remember the salary cap is:
$100k - Premier
$85k - Div 1
$70k - Div 2

The gap isn't too big anymore. Gone are the days of players on $1-2k a game. Div 2 financially is attractive because the money is practically the same as higher divisions. Coburg are 2-3 A graders off as you say. They could pay some bottom premier players the same as what their on to come and win a flag rather than fight to avoid relegation.

Why because they might want to play with mate or lokking for less commitment due to family and work ,be given an assistant coaching roll to go in to coaching as their next step in football

Truly don't think that would be the case

Div 2 is similar to div 3

yes I do with the demands we are putting on our footballers I can see why some with work and family commitments don't have the time or inclination to commit to 10 months of football
