I heard there has been a stampede of juniors bashing the door down wanting to join DP
I wonder where their juniors will end out. Div 5, 6 or 7?
Deer Park doesn't seem to have much below reserves.

if you think deer park is better than every team in div 1 why the edfl put them in div1 instead of premier we haven’t heard any teams from div 1 complain about deer park going to dominate div 1 and should be in premier we just have to wait and see you might be right

Aucklander jackson barling is a gun!
I would assume he won’t play much but bullants won’t play finals so maybe just enough to qualify for finals.
No just DP.. But this talk of St Albans struggling to make finals in B Grade is outrageousSo, both should go to Premier?
Over estimating St Albans ability..
Have seen them play against DP for the past 5 seasons and they have been poor finishing 7th in all years bar 1 year when they were 6th.
Suggest they will closer to the bottom end of the ladder.

I'm hearing St Albans smashed Hillside a few years ago in a praccy. They also made light work of EK when EK were in Div 1 (before Pat). St A beat Hoppers this year who were a top 4 team.
They will be fine in this comp. Top 4 IMO.
Announced 2 VFL players so far. Imagine they are both 5 points ? I’m sure this week will be filled with Deer Park signings!!When do we find out if DP & St.A players above 1 pointers will gain a point for going from Prem comp to Div1.
I’m sure spineless Edfl won’t apply this.
WC couldnt've picked a worse year to open the cheque book!!!!Announced 2 VFL players so far. Imagine they are both 5 points ? I’m sure this week will be filled with Deer Park signings!!
They will be making this a very short stay in Div.1
I think all clubs would feel pretty flat with what the board has done to the division but to be fair to WC a lot of those recruits are homegrown or least played there previously so it’s massive positive for the club. Archer, Dunn & Johncock out would free up a lot too you would thinkWC couldnt've picked a worse year to open the cheque book!!!!
Very good point.When do we find out if DP & St.A players above 1 pointers will gain a point for going from Prem comp to Div1.

Very good point.
By-laws clearly state that if moving from a major metro club (WRFL) premier league to EDFL Div 1, then the player is to be given an additional point.
That’s why I said above 1 pointers.But if they’re a junior 1 point player then this doesn’t apply.
I would suggest that all players would drop a point not gain a point.That’s why I said above 1 pointers.
Eg Greenwood 6 pointer, drops 1 point, but gains 1 point for dropping Div. he should stay a 6 pointer this season.
Understand your views however they are technically dropping a division so should attract an extra point. But if a side is relegated from say Premier to Div 1 such as Glenroy they don’t attract a point.Gotta laugh at the nuffies genuinely suggesting players should attract an extra point Because their clubs have changed leagues
As if that would ever occur
The rule is there as a disincentive to players shopping themselves to clubs in lower divs year after year
Turbo with common sense, only a Laverton nuffy would suggest otherwiseUnderstand your views however they are technically dropping a division so should attract an extra point. But if a side is relegated from say Premier to Div 1 such as Glenroy they don’t attract a point.
It’s more around it was the clubs choice to change leagues not a forced relegation so I understand the views.
There should be a ruling on this but maybe they should stay as they were in 2022 with their player point value. I think that’s fair..
The whole thing smells.
