EDFL Premier Discussion 2025

[The Longblow]

Spending a lot less than you think! Would be one of the bottom spenders in the comp and that’s fact!

Be honest. average blokes on 800+ at aw.

 

[Stickywicket]

Lol. Finishing 4th ahead of 6 teams is not upto standard. Lift your own standards Stickywicket...

Clearly not up to your lofty standards! As a neutral I’ve been interested in DP and the other contenders over recent weeks and your mob are clearly a mile off!

Shows how far you are off the mark with this.

I know 3 blokes in the side today and I know what is being paid.

I can tell you right now… wouldn’t even be paying half of what your mob is paying.

Thats ok. We can agree to disagree.

 

[sorloser]

& spending an absolute fortune.

Not everything is money drivin
When u work that out maybe dp might go further In premier
Culture is the key

 

[sorloser]

800 a player would be a swear word with recruiters at apw
That’s how out of touch wit reality dp are with payments

First things first; thoughts go out to Smart and those in close proximity to today’s events, very confronting scenes.

Onto the game… APW simply more desperate than Deer Park. One thing’s for sure… TAB vouchers can’t buy a bit of good old fashioned guts and determination!

Hanson and Young in the middle were outstanding, Edwards looked like he had a point to prove against the old mob and Gentile did as he pleased. But Clayton Rogers’ role (at 45yo) on McKenzie was incredible. Must say I was impressed by Gill at CHF but very few winners across the park for DP.

The Longblow - thank you for your entertainment across the season, it certainly has been enjoyable to read. But you can’t just buy your way to the top anymore champ. Maybe in the off season you can do an umpiring or food handling accreditation, or a course in turf management, so we don’t have to hear you complain all of 2026.

There’s always WRFL finals for you to watch and reminisce on old times…

Good analysis. Do you think the confronting scene that played out impacted the sides at all and if so to what extent? Personally I felt Deer Park were very affected by what occurred as many of the players are very close to Lachlan Smart. I actually thought the match was going to be called off.
In my view a ruckman was the main difference and apw will not have it all their own way again this season in the ruck.

Kudos for taking it as intended, tongue in cheek.

No doubt it would’ve affected Deer Park more, a number of players couldn’t watch as he laid motionless and my heart goes out to those affected - horrible scenes I’ve not witnessed on a footy field before.

It takes courage to play footy. Doesn’t matter how you approach the game. Anything can happen and you need to be brave just to get out there. I hope he and his family are ok

 

[Orfullrules]

Nil ressies and tanking didn’t work. Ouch

 

[TheOldCodger]

& spending an absolute fortune.

Because your cheating mob got Jong and all your other mercenaries for free? Playing for the jumper like EK?

 

[footycircles]

& spending an absolute fortune.

My comment was applauding the club as a whole and you do what you do best.

I dare say you know very little about Airport west or any other club for that matter.

One that accuses everyone else of ‘spending fortunes’ must be spending fortunes of their own?

Everyone apart from mighty micks men are a mile off LMFAO ....

We are out of the equation ..... How does it feel playing for second place ?

Typical loser call

 

[Nick Smith]

where was Kwame? The best player on earth should have lifted them on his shoulder and got them over the line?

 

[Barge]

Lol. Finishing 4th ahead of 6 teams is not upto standard. Lift your own standards Stickywicket...

Longy,

When you lose the Elimination Final, you finish FIFTH!

Barge’s Same Game Multi on Longblow’s excuses:

Umpires
Canteen
Injury to Smart

In all seriousness, I hope the lad is ok.

 

[Calmdowngoldy]

Longblowings arrogance , WRFL mentality and inflated opinion of where DP are actually at right now cost them the game yesterday by tanking the game and resting players last week. The idea probably would have worked back in the day in the WRFL but not here . Show a bit of respect

 

[weapons#again]

Typical loser call

Typical...

More logical

 

[Captain Grumpy]

Some real Longbow areas there....extremely arrogant and not what McGuane would enjoy hearing. Says a lot about your standing in the club.

After a couple of days assessing the performance of the greatest club of all time aberfeldie I am ready to share my report on the game.

The EDFL should be ashamed of the surface in which high ranking premier division teams were made to play on for Saturday's finals, it was clearly an effort to stop the run and carry of the mighty abers and the league has an agenda.

The kiosk was great and I would like to extend gratitude to the glenroy football club for providing aberfeldie with its own marquee and bar.

The umpiring was a disgrace and they cost us the game, we were definitely not beaten fair and square by 55 points and had the decisions not have been so biased the mighty abers would be playing keilor this week for a spot in the big dance.

The umpire reporting our number 27 for a fair bump on the footy should hang his head in shame and never officiate a game again.

Now the mighty abers will take on deer park in a semi, oh wait they lost hahahha suck shit, we will play airport west and it should be a cracking contest.

Best of luck to the cheating strathmore as much as i hate them i hope they beat mighty micks mob.

Yours truly,
Flagrilla

Flagrilla, the only weeks you get the bad decisions are v strathmore or keilor. Otherwise Abers get looked after by umpires most weeks in most grades of footy. Suck it up buddy..

Agree though the fixturing of grounds for finals is a big joke and embarrassing. Even in Div 1 the higher final was at burnside and the lower final at keilor. Work that out..

Keilor has the facilities, ground, scoreboard and it’s good viewing from all around the ground. Yes we can’t allow them all the profits so why can’t something be sorted to allow a “share system” for all premier clubs in premier finals to make some coin.

Not sure others grounds are capable with fencing, car parking etc??

Once again the league management make silly decisions..
