Keilor and Greenvale will be to strong for the comp.
Weaker players from Keilor have already been told to look elsewhere, as there list is to large. They are well coached and don't rely on a handful of players.
Greenvale are as strong as last year if not stronger. Very quick and consistent.
Douta Stars might no be as powerful as everyone s saying, could be wrong.
Strathmore is hard to say, do believe top 4 spot.
West Coburg, was a strong team last year and may of tok it up to Keilor in the A grade comp, but only a handful of their premiership players remain.
Cragieburn and Oak Park will be similar, they have handy players but are not consisent all over. will be interesting to see if Tom German plays Cannons as he is a gifted first year O'Park player.
Keilor Park & Avondale will struggle i believe as they do not have a main core playing group.
Not that Aberfeldie were as strong as people thought last year, but most of their top age playrs have gone up. But they do have some talent through their 16s. They will prob battle it out with cragieburn and oak park for middle ladder respect.

dropped into Doutta on Saturday to watch them play Epping. There were 8-10 (under 18 x players) playing in the reserves game. If you think Doutta's 18's wont be in the top 4, then you are dreaming. They handled all the physical intimidation handed out by the Epping older blokes and gave a little bit back, so if any team this year think they will be a push over then watch out. They are very quick, good skills and some very strong bodies. ..........also Ned Pearson (turned 19 in Jan this year) did play in the reserves game and for a guy that has not been on the training track that much for 3 years moved pretty well.

yeh both fantastic players got a real future but i think german will be heavily involved with cannons. as for lane ive heard something along the lines of him not playing. maybe someone can correct me but both have plenty of potential.

Boys, coming from an EDFL U/18 player last year, this is how I think things will pan out this year

Aberfeldie - Will struggle this year, with the likes of Jacobs, Platt etc. going up. Not sure if Thomas and Suarez still qualify but will most likely play ones anyway.

Avondale Heights - Unknown. Hopefully they can consistently field a side this year.

Craigieburn - Will also struggle. Don't seem to have the ability to take the next step. Had their chances against a few sides last year but just couldn't string four quarters together.

Doutta Stars - Definite top 4. Will lose a couple of players (Pearson, Fistrovic) and, most likely, won't have Joyce for most of the year, but will still be up there. Watch for a leaner Jake George this year, who will be Doutta's main target up forward and should kick 50+ goals this year.

Greenvale - As is often the case, Greenvale have been widely tipped to finish top 2-3 this year. But I personally believe they don't have what it takes (not in 2007 anyway). With Burns to play 1's and Kovacevic likely to play Cannons, these are two big sets of shoes to fill and will struggle without a big target around the ground.

Keilor - Will again be up there. Don't lose many players from last year, and the continual influx of some good 16's players coming up each year ensures that Keilor will always be strong.

Keilor Park - Will struggle.

Oak Park - Depending on players that play Cannons, Oak Park could be a darkhorse this year. Will intimidate many sides, and with some very good players - Crosswell, Spike Ingley, German, Peart and Andy Smith (depending on Cannons) - could surprise a few this year.

Strathmore - Top 4. A lot of bigfooty posters are writing the Mores off but I think it's a bit early to be doing that. With Toniolo, Neilson and 05/06 leading goalkicker Nick James still U/18's, mixed with the 16's coming up, the Mores will still be a force. Only lose 4/5, including 2006 Under 18 reps Staudt and Contessa.

West Coburg - Relatively unknown. I do know that they lose a lot of their players, as most of the 2005 premiership team remained under 18's in 2006. With the likes of Lobosco, Stewart, Drummond, Babo and Karaan not there, will definitely struggle.

MY LADDER
Doutta Stars
Keilor
Strathmore
Greenvale
Oak Park
Aberfeldie
Craigieburn
West Coburg

yeah i'll agree with most of that however they still do have a few very valuable players from last years team still there - Drummond is still eligable and is a super dangerous midfielder who could tear the comp apart however due to an ongoing injury he might still struggle with confidence. Staikuras another back to back premiership winner will be another dangerous midfielder and will on his day prove to hard to stop. Parkinson can match up on any forward in the competition however his temper can ultimately hinder his football ability. O'leary could step up into a dominating forward role as he did thoughout his junior days as a leading goalkicker for many years and is very strong body to body but it will be interesting as to where he does line up this year considering last year he was thrown around on the flanks. They are the big four who stay down though are more that don't stick out right now. They have an alrite under 16's group coming up at the moment also last years premiers though they made be found out as only pretenders in a faster amd stronger A grade.

I predict Wests will cause a few upsets however only at home and that theyll finish middle of the table along with abers and who i reckon will under achieve this year Douttas.
