GFL Season 2016

[ItsAllAboutMe]

Seeing we are still posting in the 2012 thread, I thinks its time for a new thread..

Any key signings yet?? Any chance Joel Corey or Josh Hunt will end up at GFL clubs in 2014? I could see Hunt stepping in as a playing coach, just built a house in Leopold so would most likely stay local.

Newtown looking for a new coach.

North Shore still on the lookout for a coach, does anyone want it?

 

[GullsFC]

Herald Sun last Sunday indicated Joel Corey is already linked to South Barwon.
Word is that Newtown are wanting to get rid of both coach and president Spaldings (not Nick). Wojo linked to take over the coaching role.

Division 1 club in Essendon League looking for a CHB - playing assistant coach.

Great remuneration for the right person.

Club has recruited extremely well and is looking at playing finals in 2014.

* would suit someone moving to Melbourne
PM me for details

Yeah well I know the top end teams in the o&m are a class above gv and geelong but as for consistantly throughout the whole league I'm not too sure!

This was posted on hdfl site. Just like to no what thoughts are from Geelong way on this?

Doubt there is a local team anywhere in vic that would beat South Barwon but IMO the standard drops away fairly quickly after that. I have been involved at both GFL and EDFL and I would have to say at a whole the a EDFL is definitely a better standard of footy.

Would have to disagree with your thoughts on this mate. EDFL clubs would definitely pay more for players and there probably is a few more bigger names playing edfl than GFL, but I think the depth of the GFL sides is a bit stronger all the way down. Completely different styles of footy as well with edfl being more of a tougher contested style of footy due to the smaller grounds, where as GFL is more open and free flowing. Overall I'd say there's not much difference between the top 3/4 sides in each league but the middle tiered GFL sides would be better than there edfl counterparts.

If anything I'd say the O and M league is probably the most over rated league IMO. Take out Yarra and Albury and maybe Lavington, then the league drops away fairly quickly.

 

[Albert Ross]

I'd guess that the GFL has a better ability to suck the better talent out of its neighboring leagues (GDFL, BFL, Hampden and Colac) than the leagues up on the Murray. The O and M and GV tend to have to fight it out for the same players, and also have to compete with Bendigo quite often. Also Geelong having the Uni helps, there are probably 20 (?) or more guys running around the GFL who otherwise wouldn't be.

Played EDFL and could not disagree more. Other than one or two sides the rest were rubbish.

 

[hawks88]

is it true that Micah Buchanan is heading back to colac?

It is very subjective and hard to be definite but from the footy I have seen in both comps this year I would say that Grovedale and Bell park would not make the finals in EDFL, also because there is relegation the teams between the bottom sides tend to be more competitive. The footy budgets at EDFL level are considerably higher, rumours that EDFL runner up Aberfeldie spent more than $500k on players and I don’t think there senior side had a player that had not at least played VFL level. Every A grade side would spend $300k+ each year and I would think that would be at least $100k more than most GFL sides. Of course money doesn’t always buy the best talent and South Barwon would not spend as much as Greenvale or Aberfeldie and I would reckon they would beat both just if they played a competitive game.

Agree it is very subjective. I would load up if I could get on either Bell Park or Grovedale to beat Airport West on any decent size ground.
