EDFL Premier Division 2017

[FootyRUs]

Sounds like Matt Little is off to the RDFL. Big loss for Strathmore if true.

Not too many surprises with TOTY. Can't think of who was left out or didn't deserve to be in there. Landry from eds perhaps lucky but I think was leading goal kicker for a small forward and most teams of the year seem to have one.

As for tonight, I am box trifecta Maric, Cachia & Blckwell but wouldn't be surprised if Fort or Mantello sneaked in.

Hearing that Williamstown's Ben Bese has signed on full-time at Strathmore (1 pointer). Same goes for Seagulls teammate David Fahey at Aberfeldie.

I heard that Marby cleaned up at the edfl awards last night with two B&F seniors and under 19's a second place in the thirds also coach of the year not a bad an effort for a club to get Rob Costello and his team must be doing something right

I can tell you Fahey is not playing anywhere in 2018 due to work commitments. It is possible he might go back there at some stage, but definitely ruled out for next season.

Bese has been struck down with constant injuries and would also be doubtful. His young and still more than capable of playing VFL but not sure his body can cope. Small ground like Strathmore won't suit him imo.

All football finished for the season, it's now time for the fun and games of the silly season.
Who is leaving, who is staying, who is moving clubs/divisions/leagues? How many of the rumours will become fact? Only time will tell.

How many players kick 9 goals and have 46 possies and don't register a vote.

Fairly embarrassing really. Caps off a solid year for the orange team

Totally agree - how Maric didn't win the league medal would astound all those who have watched & followed Premier this year.

As you said totally embarrassing.

Only explanation is he argues/abuses the umpires?

His team won 16 of 18 games
Won the clubs B n F by a street
Had probably 10 or more BOGs for his side
Kicked 9 goals twice
Ended season with 70+ goals
Only polls 19 votes?

9 goals & 46 touches means BOG regardless.

Where can you see the votes for the individual games?

I get the frustration but is anyone really that surprised?

EDFL and umpiring department are becoming a huge joke. They have made so many out of the blue decisions over the past few years.

 

[Newatthis]

Obviously nothing of interest happening around the clubs. Anyone heard of any movements and I am not talking bowel movements.

Armitage to AH good get, uni blues disappointed as they thought they would get him. The almighty $$$$. He would be 6 points I assume - not sure they can recruit much more.

Talk at the Linc last night was EDS has or will sign most key players from this year. Abers also possibly have a couple of home growns returning.

They will need a heap more. Tough caper going and trying to manage this points system..

They should get 6-10 points bonus so they can have the opportunity to recruit and try and stay up, but I've heard of a kid there about to sign who is a beast

Hearing Jimmy Allan from North Adelaide & Norwood has signed at Strathmore. If true this is the biggest signing of 2018 season. Would be early fav for comp medal and massive mid companion for Cachia. Very skilful hard running player who would compliment Cachia’s inside work. He would be early 30’s in age but few players ever in EDFL could match this blokes resume

Thanks for that Gremlin. Sounds like a really good signing. It is however guaranteed to set Turbo off and running on his pet hobby horse about Strathmore exceeding both the salary and points caps. 4, 3, 2, 1.......

 

[KB Hungry]

Can anyone confirm or deny Ivan Maric having signed for Keilor? Wouldn’t have thought they needed a player like him with Browne there.

I hear the EDFL are looking to try a few things with the under 19.5's next season.
1. Start some of the games at 10 am
2. Play some games on a Friday night
3. Reduce the quarters to 20 mins.

 

[Didplay]

I don't understand 20 min of football why play less footy when 1 year later they are playing up to 30min.

I would like the EDFL to consider installing lights at Windy Hill and playing 1 premier league game each week under lights on Friday night. Share the games equal between all clubs so each club gets 2 “hone” games there a season where they have access to run the bar and canteen/bbq. But after the game the bar closes and you head into Windy Hill bar. Surely they would also increase revenue, so it’s a win-win. Great way to get extra income and promote the league..
