To state the obvious all 16 clubs recruit from the same pool of talent. There are no surprises. So it is each clubs opinion of that talent that determines who they select at draft time and then how they develop that talent. It sounds very simple. I understand that not everything goes to plan all...

Not re-appointing a premiership coach for no other reason than dropping the presidents son, i would call that a sacking!

One from left field that has nor been mentioned is Peter German. A premiership coach at Burnie and Subiaco. AFL assistant coach at Hawthorn and Fremantle. Currently coaching Casey Scorpions who sit 2nd on the ladder. A former North Melbourne player. Who has a great record in developing players.

I quote Ashley Prescott (01/10/2008). We would love to get him. He is a super talent. He could become a valuable acquisition. CHRIS YARRAN. Is he tall/small? Is he back/mid/fwd? Is he quick/skilled? Big motor? Inside or outside? Tough? One dimensional or multiple tricks? Is he what we want?

First time i have seen Essendon "live" in over 12 months. Overall i thought it was a fair performance. What did disappoint me where the unforced errors (chest marks) and poor decision making(stationery targets). positives-Bellchambers & Hooker, persistence at the contest (1st Q)...

I understand that the silly season may have started early. However how is this for starters..........Barry Brookes has re-sigend at Craigieburn AND they have signed Aaron Henneman!!

I agree the signs are good. I like the fact we seem to have a bit of grunt and a touch of arrogance about us. EG Kyle Reimers. However and there is always a however. We are now getting to the stage where we are expected to win or at least be ultra competitive. This presents a whole new mind...

How can three games reflect how a season will pan out? In theory, perfect. However practically, cannot work. You cannot have grading and expect the draw to stay the same. By that i mean the two same clubs playing at the one venue in 10s, 12s, 14s & 16s.

Woolley Lamb, Your comments are similar to other posters on this site, however we never get any worthwhile solutions or discussion. So...any suggestions?? Marby are not the first club to have experienced problems with numbers at junior level and they will not be the last.

OK GUYS, I can understand about being positive or seeing the glass is half full all the time. HOWEVER who is going to take responsibillity for our present situation? I have asked many times who is in charge of football operations, list management and player development and have never had an...

do not know how strong, however they are coached by one of the best junior coaches of recent times.

Re: why knights as coach was wrong These are the questions that need to be answered.... Who is responsible for our drafting/recruiting? Who is responsible for our player development? Who is football operations manager? Are these faceless people ever going to be held accountable? For to...

The training squads for the A & B grade representative games are about to be released. Any suggestions? Remember its V NFL (DVFL) at Preston VFL ground, it is big.

You`re only as strong on the field as you`re off it. 1.Who is head of recruiting? 2.Who is part of the recruiting team? 3.Who is head of the football department? 4.Who is part of the football department team? 5.Who is responsible for player development? 6.Why is our player development so poor...

I do not think money is an issue at Strathmore. Junior membership is $250 per player! Lets say 24 per team at 250 = $6000! How many junior teams at Strathmore?

Out - Tom Davidson - Vermont

I agree, in the foreseeable future there is no opposition to Greenvale. Instead of talking about their chances for finals and a tilt at the premiership, clubs are just hoping to avoid relegation. To think that the EDFL brains trust believe this is a healthy situation. The only interest is...

I think you will find, the shack has played there before during the off-season.

l can guarantee you Oak Park will be better than 2006 ( 5th ) and 2007 ( 6th ). However will that improvemnet be better or worse than the other 7 clubs? Only time will tell. As it is, Greenvale is a certainity followed by Strathmore and the rest will battle it out to avoid relegation. From 3rd...

not entirely true.........more than 3 can go from one club to another...if both clubs can come to some sort of agreement..EG...2007..Avondale Heights and Maribyrnong Park..Janezic, Price, Lekkas, Karavas

aahh....poker machines..they are a wonderful sponsor

Who said 40pts? It maybe 35pts or whatever it takes to even the season up. Greenvale under 40pts? Hakim, Jorgenson, Randello, Kuret, Sir, H.Pekes, Potter, O'Neil, Pati....Unlevel playing feilds cannot continue for the GOOD of the WHOLE league.

Re: Northern Football League Div 1 talk floating around the power clubs in the EFL has it that the Heidelberg move is on again. any truth?

My apologises blastoff, i was referring to son06, whose aka General.

General, no need to talk in the 3rd person!

excuse my ignorance, however who has been ultimately responsible for our recruiting? l have heard Sheedy, l have heard Dodoro, I have heard the football dept ( led by Auld ). Whoever it was should go, for the often quoted examples. Actually we should have a total clean out. Is it possible that...

please explain

jett and tige, you both make valid points, however over the past one club has dominated the competition. The one with most money. At the moment there is little or no interest in the home and away season.Granted the finals series, have been close high standard games. However we need some...

i hope all clubs are looking outside the EDFL for their recruits. As all eating your own does is push up the pay rates of players already in the EDFL system.
