How embarrassing for the EDFL. They keep self promoting themselves as one of the best leagues in Victoria and dish up a dogs breakfast of finals venues in all 3 divisions. Windy Hill is done so is Coburg. Pick one venue for each division, possibly 2 in case of weather, lock them in long term. Then the EDFL controls the product, at the moment they are just meandering along with no thought or vision.

At least the league have picked some venues with plenty of areas for parking (Greenvale & Rupo) still average venues tho. But to be fair, most EDFL venues are garbage.

The Hangar can’t accommodate crowds

The league has little to no say in their venues! Ie they don’t own a venue and are reliant on others/councils for approval.
For example:
High gate - Calder and Coates League have primary rights.
Windy Hill- AFLW priority
Coburg- VAFA and EDFL share dates

Very disappointing. Should be Joe Brown Oval or Deer Park and grand final at Windy Hill. This league is a basket case of a league as proven by tickle on the bum given to Keilor for cheating.

Salesian is further

I’m in Hillside so Sunbury’s only 15mins..

Parking at Greenvale involves replacing suspension the next day. Absolute s hole of a carpark.

I'm sure the EDFL wants to accommodate, however it would be a challenge early in finals with 3 divisions and woman's premier GF. The EDFL has allocated 4 Junior GFs at Windy Hill this Sunday which is great result for our junior competition.

 

[MortlockWatcher]

I thought in most comps both the competing clubs have a representative who signs off on the ground prior to first game of the day kicking off?

Yep. It's supposed to be done for insurance purposes.

Great for Abers and Strathmore!

after carrying out coaching vacancy interviews with him involved in process.

Talk about a strange set up. Good luck trying to get any decent candidates to coach there when his tenure is over.

Not sure many potential suitors will be fronting up after this scenario.

So they’ve appointed the U-16 coach from last year to coach premier, with no senior coaching experience. What’s going on at PV.

He played 160 afl games and has done a decent job with them this year since taking over

Bit harsh mate. His experience at AFL level would be more than a lot of coaches in this league.

Definitely a strange process. Have heard of that happening before though as they try and get a coach but if no one is better they can then decide to take it on themselves. But totally agree for those that applied and went through the process it’s a bit annoying, and I get the frustration of not going through that again.

Just another reason why Pacco are miles behind the Top 3

How’d that work out for their last ex AFL coach. I like Pacoe, wanted them to win last years GF, but they seem unsettled.

Top 4 you mean!!

 

[Stax on the mill]

Top 4 you mean!!

Yeah/nah! No doubt EDS have shown significant improvement this season. However despite that, they’re still a fair way off the level of Keilor, Abers and Strathmore. So, just a clear top 3.
