EDFL Premier Discussion 2025

[The Longblow]

Airport West will win. Will be too physical for Keilor. Edwards best on ground until reported. Young reported. Hansen torn hammy but plays through it to guide AW to victory. Scenes in crowd with AW faithfull clashing with Keilor Faithfull. All resolved before escalation. Mick not happy but complimentary in defeat.

Not sure about all of the extra commentary but very entertaining nontheless! Do agree that APW will be too physical. Keilor has a fair amount of injuries after last week (if you believe the mail) and will be on the ropes.
It will be a disgrace if Honey gets to play again this year.

 

[BC04]

Any word on Honey?

Predictions for Sunday? I like Airport West's chances against a wounded Keilor. APW to win by a goal.

Going to appeal, not sure on what grounds.. you need a reason the tribunal penalty was unjust or unfair. The footage is pretty obvious.

Keilor with Ian Findlay said there was no contact as their initial defense, both umpires stood up and said I was right there, saw he definitely made contact to the chin/jaw. Keilor (Findlay) then proceeded to label the incident a headbutt to the shoulder and chest, he was then asked to stop calling it a headbutt to the chest as we have heard it was to the jaw, he was given a two week suspension. Appeal is tonight I believe.

Keilor win by plenty. Not often in the past few years have they lost 2 in a row.

Missing some valuable soldiers, big tall forwards are hard to replace like Brand, Honey obviously will be missed if he doesn’t have some ridiculous miracle to escape punishment. Gone blank but that ankle injury definitely seemed like it isn’t coming up for this week. Losing the experience of O’Kearney who I believe has now gone to the limit of concussions and may not be able to play again. Bradley Xavier seems to be sore and battling through, Barbuto played well, but think a lot will rely on him to carry a very heavy workload this weekend to make it through. Handy depth though, so makes it interesting, Airport West will be on a high and thinking Keilor are beatable

Have inside word that Luca Muratore will be lining up for APW this week

Ask pacco and Strathmore, Keilor is beatable.

Makes sense when you analyse his vfl stats for the year and the fact he has been named interchange 9 x out of 11 matches in VFL. VFL Stats For Luca Muratore 2025
* VFL clubs need to stop using blokes like Muratore and give them a decent run at things because how will the club ever know if they are any good if they don't give them an opportunity to shine.

Outstanding. Hope he kicks 11 and takes mark of the year over pretty boy Xavier

Xavier his a high quality bloke, no need for name calling there.

In other news Honey’s appeal was unsuccessful and his punishment stands at 2 weeks suspension.

 

[BC04]

News is Clay Illman will not be coaching Abers in 2026. Bit of change coming for Abers in the lineup and the coaching staff it seems.

 

[Calmdowngoldy]

Flagrilla congrats on the appointment of a new under 18 head coach was the previous coach removed because of the brawl between himself and your runner late in the game during the first final?

Being named on the interchange bench doesn't deny a player game time these days. It's a 22 /23 player team now. I'd agree with you if he was named 9 times as an emergency.

Wasn’t the coach. Was the assistant coach.

Any confirmation or intel on Clay Illman and his reason for standing down as coach? News is he told the club lastnight.

Previous head coach wasn’t involved and actually did a terrific job in what was a tough season for our 18s

Phew as long as it was the assistant coach nothing to look at here then

We all know the cultural issues Longblowing has working tirelessly to stamp out at DP but if the shoe was on the other foot and it was a DP runner and assistant coach having a box on during a finals game on the side lines the Abers faithful in this group would be going absolutely nuts on this forum . Seems ok for some clubs but not for others .Keep up the good work LB

Didnt deer park 16s coach get involved in abit of trouble?

 

[footy2016]

$1.01 odds were too short! Clay gone by end of the week.

Would suspect Abers go for a big name.

Whoop there it is!

If he wants a consistent run he needs to go to a non AFL aligned club we have 18 AFL listed players available this week and most weeks would have 14-16 only leaves 6-8 spots a week
