I wouldn't be shocked if once the new EK committee get their feet under the desk and realise the mess theyve walked into approach the league and ask to play in Div 1 next year Can't imagine more than 5-6 players staying on for next season, add to that the fact they'll need to recruit 40 - 45...

C'mon Turbs - if he hit his head on the ground then Josh is probably concussed, doesnt play the game out and Marby player suspended. BUT - Josh didnt hit his head, stayed down trying to get another shot at goal, and then proceeded to kick the next 5 Hillside goals. Josh himself said he was...

I'm just glad we get to see Pat implement his game plan weekly this year! He has coached 17 odd games since sacking Rocky last year and has won 4 or 5 of them! He owes Rocky a public apology - after all, he tried humiliate him publicly with his pre season comments

they currently are capped and have been for 20 years - max 4 teams per age group You can argue that's too high - but there is a cap

certainly do things a bit different down at EK Presentation night the week before finals Coach re-signing announced 4 days before elimination final. Most other clubs would hold the coaching announcement back til season was finished!

they could have a 4 pointer and 3 pointer come out for holmes and the other 1 pointer listed in the emergencies

The fixture nightmare is the EDFL's own doing! It wont get any easier next year with DP & WC not likely to have 18's, Avondale unlikely to field 18's and convincing EK & EDS to play in Premier and hope that Airport West can hang on to an 18's side If all Premier sides were to field an 18's...

Hearing that Marby will field their top 18's in Premier next season. Good result for the league if they do as if they played in b grade it would have reduced the premier comp to basically 4 teams

There is a limit of 4 teams per age group currently and this has been in place for years. Whether you believe that's low enough is a different discussion but its false to say there's no limit on each club and how many teams they can have in age group.

And good on him for all that. No ones doubting the hard work and $ he has put in to the place Successful and SUSTAINABLE clubs require much more than a one man show though. And there comes a time when ya can't buy everyone and a level of decency and respect needs to be shown Will be...

When's the last time you saw a President sack an under 16's coach and senior coach in the same year and then take on the roles himself!

even more so when you consider they have the bye the week later - surely could have waited til after the weekend.. In reality it shouldn't have happened at all - no one can tell me EK aren't meeting expectations up this point

it could hardly have been amicable could it! Truly bewildering decision, how the one man can hold the roles of President, Senior Coach, Footy Manager and Under 16's coach at an A grade club is mind boggling, but anyway EK as a club has allowed this to manifest over the years and here we are...

What would you like them to say - We got beat by the bottom team on the weekend, the players aren't playing for the coach and our best chance of winning a few games is to get someone else in? Probably more respectful to say nothing rather putting out a nonsense statement just to keep the big...

they've been doing it for years and its a much bigger set up than a few supporters bringing a slab or two in.

from memory clubs were asked for their opinions on this topic a few years ago and the consensus was to stick to a top 4

Turbs, the thing holding clubs back at the moment is $ not points Last weeks points by club Avondale = 41, Glenroy = 38, Abers = 29, EK = 46, Keilor = 27., EDS = 37, Marby = 32, Paco = 30, S'more = 23, GV = 33 Every club other than EK has room to move with their points. I'd guarantee the...

i think the points system should stay and salary cap should be scrapped The cap is being blatantly disregarded by who know how many clubs across the various comps. Its impossible to catch anyone out - just get rid of it The beauty of the points system is that leagues can manipulate the...

Strathmore and Marby not far behind them on that front either Turbo. Look at the reserves and 18's ladders and the top 4 in both comps are those 4 Those 4 clubs all in good positions to be competitive for a number of years to come if they keep tracking the way they are

Cry me a river! You've whinged and moaned for a week over a tribunal decision - Get over it! Lets face facts if your club wasn't blatantly cheating the salary cap you'd be without Stewart for 18 weeks! So just be thankful that you only miss him for 2

Fair enough comments I did say there shouldn't be relegation or promotion unless C'burn decided they wanted to go down - who could begrudge them. But if they wanted to stay up then they should be allowed to I did say it was problematic and i would prefer no team gets promoted if C'burn decided...

It's called pre -season!

I dont think there should be any promotion or relegation if we dont get nay further games in this season. Whilst "on paper" You would think EK would be favourites to win a flag, we all know our games aren't played on paper If Craigieburn say they don't want to go down (a big IF i know) then...

if i'm not mistaken the clubs foot all of the bill (or close enough to it) for the umpires anyway don't they?

Not quite true Turbs. Stewy and Chris Kelly shared ruck duties for Marby in the premiership years & Marby simply saw Stewy as a Forward who could pinch hit in the ruck He always had outstanding ability and could turn a game on its head. consistency was an issue for him. i remember seeing him...

Veszpremi was actually 7 points at one stage during his time in the EDFL - when he crossed to Douttas from Paco from memory May have been changed mid season back to 6

Try telling that to some of the female footballers running around! There are a few that believe they should be treated exactly the same as their male counterparts!

I think Hillside have missed the boat unfortunately.I thought 3 years ago that they could be the next EDFL powerhouse and they would be a major beneficiary of points and cap coming in with the abundance of very good junior players they had. They obviously couldn't win one to get promoted, which...

EDFL announcement imminent that they will push on with a 9 game season beginning mid/late July for all senior comps. I'm still of the view that it wont be the right decision for all clubs but i guess we'll see if individual clubs have the ability to make the decision they deem right for their...

what do you mean by invested heavily Turbo? Financially, he'd be paid as per any senior coach - ok maybe a few $ more than the average, but wouldn't be on huge money. if you mean invest as in club have put faith in him and assistants and vision - wouldn't any club do that for their senior coach
