EDFL Premier Discussion 2025

[The Longblow]

26 years and counting since your senior side have saluted. Maybe time to spend some yourself if you have any.

Spend money. They are already spending a fortune and nothing to show for it except bruises.

 

[Captain Grumpy]

Thats right they didn't beat Pascoe Vale the week after Pascoe Vale beat Keilor. Get with it or get off the keyboard.

Using Pascoe Vale as a form reference this season isn't the strongest argument...they were dreadful most of the year and caught Keilor on their worst day. PV will be relegated next season if they don't get their act together.

 

[The Longblow]

I think the deer park bashing is absolutely fair enough and warranted but I think we should lean some credit to apw. Not on just yesterday’s performance but the last 6-7 weeks. They’ve come the tough way and At 4-8 a few on here wrote them off and fair enough too!! Amazing how it unfolds when you get key players back. Middle third of the year they were absolutely ravaged with there big names out. Some would call it luck or just timing? They are thick as thieves down there and they won’t be satisfied going down to Abers this week I can tell you that much. Besides Keilor they are the only club to knock everyone off in this comp in the last two years! Take that for what you will!! Both senior grades are dancing with the big 3 and that’s something that’s not easy to sustain but they are on the right path and go about it the right way.

This might be a bit of glazing to a degree but just a lil shoutout to the mighty eagles. Small club big heart

Lot of glazing. Deer Park have knocked everyone off except Keilor & Strathmore in last 2 years. Not bad for hacks from the wrfl. Hello to the teams that didn't make finals in 2025...... BTW Aiport West are spending a lot of $ and anyone who thinks otherwise is simply delusional.

 

[The Longblow]

Surely what I’ve heard today isn’t true, player(s) out the night before a final? That’s surely not the professional outfit that Pat lured the players from EK to go with the promise of wads of cash and success! I said at lunch there’s no way that would be true

Tell us more Mrs Jessup?

Just stating facts unlike some in here.

 

[The Longblow]

We go again and twice as hard. Be ready, here we come....

 

[The Longblow]

We’ll have another Summer of listening to dross about how big they are going to be next year. Will add another 3-4 over the hill mercenaries, keep Madigan on, keep taking Pats cash and will end up bang average middle of the table again.
Pond’s a little too big

Speaking of big. Is your ruckman still growing and whatever he is on can we have the recipe please?

I can tell you that you have NFI on their spend - because it’s highlighted in your incorrect statement. They don’t follow the Deer Park model.

 

[Calmdowngoldy]

Word on the street is the some of the DP boys might have been out celebrating the APW win the night before they played them .

I reckon we might know. I can tell you Young has signed elsewhere next season. Heading bush for $$$$$. Was ironic seeing him signal to the Deer Park bench straight after the game with his fingers, referencing they chased players wanting cash. I guess he knows the vibes.
How ironic

The same team many on here said look out PV are coming with a charge until the silence was deafening a week later when they rolled them on their own paddock. The narrative certainly shifted.

Doubt anyone would begrudge Young for filling his boots in the twilight of his career. Still great value for whoever is paying it, and he has given great service to Airport West where he will go down as one of the clubs greats.

Not being sarcastic here mate I value your input on this thread ...

Club great IMO

= Premiership Captain
= BOG in grand final wins
=Multiple club bnfs wins
=Comp bnf wins
=300 + games at senior level
=Multiple years on committee

How many does he tick gremlin?

Making the GF last year might have made a few go off in the holster on PV but they do appear to the neutral observer to be a fragile club held in Premier Division by some very tenuous threads - as indicated by the exodus at the end of last season.
