AFLW 2024 - Round 9 - Indigenous Round - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Looking forward to hearing his progress in the EFL this season. Was a great player at North Albury but hope he stays away from Macca's and KFC. Carried a few extra kilo's at the Hoppers last season.Croydon FC will happily enter the 2011 season with the return of a talented son.
They have always looked after Damian Cupido.
I like the idea, but it's 5 weeks before round 1.
Clubs aren't going to field there best sides, players will be rusty & some will be missing due to cricket.
When was the last time a local side played a praccy game 5 weeks before round 1?
While it would be nice to win, it would be hard to justify the title of the best team in metro melbourne with Old Xavs & Noble Park not playing. Plus the fact its a lightning premiership.
The spots of Clayton, Mulgrave & Old Carey, who all won div.2 titles should have gone to the Div.1 runners up of their competitions.
Now that said, as i stated earlier, I do like the idea of the top clubs from different competitions playing one another. The competition should be run over the last 3 weeks of preseason, which clubs playing full games in a knockout system.
Of the teams participating, based on 2010 - South Barwon to win for mine but who knows who has picked up who & sides may not field all their top players.
Well Done to those who organised it & it should be a good day, and i will most likely attend.
noble park and old xavs declined to play (scared maybe)South Barwon will be favourites, but dont under estimate Maribyrnong Park in the EDFL, at full strength will give it a shake.
Cant wait should be huge.
lol, both teams & South Barwon would definently be ranked in the top 10 teams in the state for 2010, possibly even one or two in the top 5.noble park and old xavs declined to play (scared maybe)
haven't underestimated Marby Park at all. Just stated South Barwon would go in favourites.South Barwon will be favourites, but dont under estimate Maribyrnong Park in the EDFL, at full strength will give it a shake.
Cant wait should be huge.
On Sunday March 6th this event will be broadcast live via SEN Radio 1116 AM.
8 of the premiership teams from 2010 around Melbourne have agreed to play in a 20/20 style competition for their chance to take out the prestigious trophy of becoming Melbourne metro footballs best of the best and win their club $5000 in prizes and money.
The event and day has been organised by Benjamin Charles from SPORT SUPPORT. Also helping promote and run the event is Matty Pillios (EDFL MEDIA HOST) along with various other high profile metropolitan footballers and current or ex AFL players.The day will start at 11am and games will be played at CT Barling Reserve located at Plenty Rd, Reservoir.
The 8 clubs representing their leagues are as follows:
NFL – West Preston F.C (Ran all over powerhouse Heidelberg F.C to take 2010 premiership coach and are known to be physical.)
VAFA – Old Carey F.C (Smashed the VAFA B section comp in 2010 and now in A section will represent VAFA. Have picked up close to 8 quality players for season 2011. Old Xavs F.C declined to participate.)
GFL – South Barwon F.C (One of the favourites from a powerhouse comp. Will be at full strength and have the entire town of Geelong behind them.)
EDFL – Marby Park F.C (Back to back premiers will try and stamp its name as the strongest metro football team in the country boasting a ton of talent.)
EFL – Mulgrave F.C (Represent one of the strongest Melbourne comps and this year are in Div 1. Have recently recruited quality AFL & VFL players for season 2011. Noble Park F.C declined to participate.)
RDFL – Riddell F.C (Strong club with a massive following and will be keen to keep momentum from their 2010 premiership win.)
SFL – Clayton F.C (The club has been a powerhouse in Div 1 for a long time. Have recruited very strongly for 2011. St Kilda City F.C could not confirm.)
WRFL – Albion F.C (Stunned the WRFL winning the 2010 flag and with some new recruits will give it a shake. Coming from a comp with physical football.
EXTRA EVENTS
“Melbournes Fittest Footballer” (Vertical Leap, 20 Metre Sprints and Push Up Comp.)
“Grand Final Curtain Raiser” (60 Person Beep Test between any local registered footballer.)
Should be a cracker of a day! What are everyones thoughts and feedback on it?
I'm pretty sure i remember hearing both sides had players out that day not just Marby Park. Was awhile ago though, so you may be right. Anyway, did hear it was one of the best standard praccy matches played in quite awhile.Remember back to last year a week out from the season when Marby (with 8 players out) took on Balwyn (at full strength) in a practice match and come a close 7 points from taking the honours.
South Barwon will be favourites, but dont under estimate Maribyrnong Park in the EDFL, at full strength will give it a shake.

It's been denied on the EFL forum by their coach.Ben cousins rumour to Balwyn is floating around again
Werts from Monbulk really good kid kicked a few goals last year be interesting to see how he handles 1st divy, good luck to him.EAST Ringwood is on track for a much-improved 2011 Eastern Football League season after some key off-season acquisitions.
The Roos have signed former Collingwood player Ben Kinnear, Box Hill duo Gary Conyers and Julien Moussi and promising Monbulk key forward Dylan Werts.
Roos coach Chris Cogan said the recruiting drive was still in process and he hoped to sign up at least three more players this week.
