EDFL Division 1 - 2012

[Hidden_wonder]

Apparantely Coburg Districts Will have juniors alligned or already have them alligned if they make the move so the no juniors part wont be an issue. There is a junior only team in the EDFL without Seniors that will allign them selves. As for being a middle of the road side that might be the case they did play finals this year, but i think it has been hard due to the position of the club. It woyuld be hard for them to recruit players to play in the WRFL with so many teams on the other side of town, i think the move would be great for them in the long run and they wouldnt be a floating team in EDFL for too long. They would only have to recruit a few handy players to hold their own this year or atleast fight off relegation. Will be interesting to see how the vote goes

If the unaligned junior team your referring to is st Francis... They are now aligned with oak park

Re New Teams B Grade 2012
-There are no Junior teams only currently playing in EDFL.
-The EDFL I think would not even consider a senior team to enter B-Grade without a full book of juniors as a 1 club policy.
-The EDFL would consider a junior club to enter if they are in a growth area eg Rolling Meadows, Caroline Springs and as per what they allowed Roxy & Hillside to do was guarantee entry of Seniors after say 4-6 years.
-The facility and playing ground also comes into question of any new potential clubs.
-Also track record of trouble on and off field & financial guarantees.
-Lets just see if the EDFL stick to what they have as their current criteria or move the goal posts to suit their agenda ??? ???

simon wiggins wont be at apw next year as he is still tied up with sunshine football club.

"Former Carlton tall Simon Wiggins has signed for the Eagles, and ex-Gold Coast/Nth Melbourne midfielder Daniel Harris in a trio of recruits with AFL experience."

heard today that matthew kreuzers brother has also signed at apw. Any truth to it?
I wonder how many more players they will go after. Must have a money tree down there!

It's getting ridiculous. Far too much money in it. The other teams can't compete.

No way to police it at this level unfortunately... It's up to other clubs to lift I suppose

Points system could work. They won't do it though.

Quite possible, he did play at Bundoora with the newly appointed APW coach so he could have bought a few along with him.

 

[Rory Mac]

Alot of talk about APW and alot of it is rubbish.

 

[Footy 4 Fox]

Contessa is the new coach at Airport West, he was at Bundoora last year. i have heard that he's trying to bring Cameron Cloke and Gary Moorcroft with him from Bundoora to Airport West. no offer yet, just more of a "hey mate, it's good here, heaps of $$...wanna come too?"
imagine if they get them along with Wiggins and Harris that they've already signed.

 

[Bronx Bomber]

A lot of talk about who they are looking at singing may be rubbish but the fact that they have signed Contessa, Harris and Wiggins is more than enough for them to be highly competitive.

Stone!

He played for AWFC 3 seasons ago and had to retire due to injury and work. Now new job and his injury has settled he is ready to try out for 2012. This man reads the play better than any B grade player current or past. And no he is not the Nth Melb M Martin. He was from Bulldogs & Brisbane AFL player. Hope he does well as he is a great bloke who deserves to retire when he wants and not when injury come calling.
