EDFL Premier Discussion 2025

[BlueJet]

Turbo, I’ll think you will find, that PC was the president, coach, treasurer, recruiter executioner and the committee.

Who greenlit that?

Turbo knows he's footy and he does do a truckload of work at melton south nowadays

Ah yeah.. kinda like how a recent Deer Park signing was taking unders to play at South?
Grain of salt, Trent..

Would've thought Abers and more specifically their crowd would've put up more of a fight Saturday. Premier Div was boring last year , it's got 10 times worse this year... Boring...
Div 1 & 2 much more interesting

 

[Oldtimesceptic]

Maca can’t keep a committee.. no hope of keeping pl

All your good leaders leave the club and it turns to shit within weeks… very sad.

Who were the good leaders that left?

 

[torpfrom50]

Since when do the EDFL give different point allocations

When you ask for them

Especially for the coin Abers are apparently spending. Not really worth it is it

Take Keilor & EK out and there should be a lot of great games between everyone else. 4th & 5th currently wide open for a team to take this season, Deer Park and Marby at the moment placed well but I wouldn’t rule any team out of that fight just yet.
Mores v Deer Park
Douttas v Greenvale
Airport West v Marby
Abers v A desperate Pacco!

Some big games this round

To rule out any team outside of Keilor and EK is silly at this stage of the year. Teams at different stages will go on runs and have their injuries at wrong moments. Outside of the EK result, all the other games were close on the weekend.

Don't disagree that there may be some good, contested games, but the rest are all playing for 2nd or just to play in finals... Same as last year!!!

The only reason this doesn’t occur in Div 1 is because the dominant team moves up. Otherwise, I’m sure it would be the same. You are probably right, Keilor have the most talent and depth. If they copped a lot of injuries at the wrong time, they could also come undone (unlikely). That’s just the nature of how the system is at the moment. Does it need reform? Absolutely.

Agree Chaz. But the bigger problem is that only 3 clubs(Pacco have been there abouts last few years but havn't counted them..) have really competed for Flag glory in Premier for over 10years now and the gap is widening. It's disheartening for the rest of the competition. The EDFL not only allow it to happen but encourage it with zero restrictions on junior movement not to mention the inadequate sanctions on the cheaters. Prem Div flags since 2014 - 3 clubs

2014	Strathmore
2015	Aberfeldie
2016	Keilor
2017	Aberfeldie
2018	Aberfeldie
2019	Keilor
2021	Strathmore
2022	Strathmore
2023	Keilor*
2024	Keilor

Absolutely agree with this.

What's your definition of "Good Leaders" - if it is leaving a club with a big debt and paying & encouraging players to leave and play somewhere else and actually leaving the place in a worse state than when they took over - Then Yes- this ensures the place turns to shit.
Surely, you can't blame Macca and these current EK Volunteers trying to pick up the pieces and stabilize the place. They have been there 5 mins to try and salvage what has been destroyed over the past 5 years.

In the meantime, look up the word "leadership" and see if you possesses any of the listed qualities.

I have many friends at EK and this constant bagging of the club is just over the top whether they brought it on themselves or not...

How true.People constantly ripping them but I admire and respect the committee,players and supporters.Be tough training and going out each Saturday knowing a flogging awaits.Footy clubs are made of many and different types the vast majority have the best interest of club at heart.Give the constant slinging a rest I say.

Let’s just wait and see if the players are paid when due as per their contracts this week.

Maybe. Many clubs are at Rd 6, 12, 18

They have a great supply of juniors… Get them down to 30 points.

Exactly Keilor after cheating the cap should be on 25 points for the next 2 years. Put abers and strathmore on 30 and base it from.there, that should be all metro leagues

 

[Wysiwyg]

I agree I have posted on here before he can’t coach, maybe he’s lost the players who knows?

I watched Pascoe Vale play in a Grand Final last year. Wasn't Tudor coaching them?

What did their crowd not do , not turn up or just weren’t loud ?

 

[chickenonachain]

How did that grand final go? Imo he’s not a good coach gone from grand finalist to winning one game this year, says it all really.

I am back. I guess when you play on the edge occasionally you get pinged. With this in mind I always come back bigger and better after a freshen up. If you do nothing else this year please ensure you see one of the greatest footballers ever to play the game outside AFL Mr Kwame McHarg.

Would he be in the top 20 players since 2000, not to have played at afl level?

He's a footballing freak.

How did you get him back?

He’d have to be up there… the biggest criticism has always been he hasn’t done it in a premier league - if he can continue doing it this year then he’s in the conversation for sure!

Can only destroy the teams and opponents Infront of you. Those Grand final teams had players that would've walked into edfl sides. If you'd witnessed his performances on the biggest stage you wouldn't be questioning or critiquing what standard it was. Then went to the Colts after 7 flags and came second in a comp medal with a handful of games played. Been watching local footy for a very little long time. Up there with the best l've witnessed in many comps if not the best.
