EDFL Premier Discussion 2024

[Turbos mail]

I’m pretty sure I said there’s enough evidence to suggest that McGuane will play them if they’re good enough. I don’t think he’s in the game of gifting games to satisfy some outsiders

See I disagree as a great example was Ben Bozinovski who left Keilor to go to APW for more opportunities. He was a talented junior and in the leadership group at Calder Cannons. Didn’t get opportunities.
I believe Cooper-McKenzie George is good enough to play senior footy as well. Strong bodied player who won reserves B&F last year but hardly got any opportunities this year.

One would think McGuane would push them up and develop them rather than recruit others that take their spots potentially. But rather than develop they do tend to focus on premierships and buying who they need. Could save a lot of $$ by developing their own. They just take other clubs better junior players from neighbouring clubs to weaken the neighbours junior programs and competition within the area.

If you think anyone is winning premierships with a team of their own juniors then you’re kidding yourself, every team recruits because they’re all in it for winning premierships! You’ve missed my point from the start, I simply said McGuane would be playing them if they’re good enough that's proven.

Don’t think player hq is that accurate mate, doesn’t show the games my son played at his junior club accurately

3 years consecutive service so he is a one point

 

[ChazzMichaels]

3 years consecutive service so he is a one point

Still has to play a minimum of 40 games over 3 seasons to qualify for 1 point.

Even on the old Game Day Competitions website it has him at Burnside in 2016 and Keilor in 2019. Which only allows for him to be at Deer Park from 2017-2018. Unless you are saying this is incorrect?

Quite possibly.

Maybe the points system needs a revamp where you need x amount of 1 point players say 15 or 16 and who cares about the other 5 or 6 players what their points are

Home grown?

Home grown?

One of very few

It's almost like other clubs don't exist on this forum outside of Keilor and Deer Park.

Exactly! and 4-5 years earlier those juniors were super competitive
