EDFL Div 1 Discussion 2023

[StormRider]

Is this a piss take? If they rolled that team out against Keilor, they would get flogged by 15 goals. At the moment they are a 3-6 team. But they will recruit. Is Mark Galea a Deer Park junior?

He is and a One club player to date..

No way

WC have released a statement regarding the incident. The disappointing part is that they say they are committed to educating their players etc. Not saying that those involved with be sanctioned internally by the club outside what the league hands down is bizarre.

Where is said statement?

15 goals......turn it up!
They will suprise and push most of the top 4 premier sides.

Not with the side they had this year. They need to recruit. Keilor would smack that team. And I'm sure they will recruit.

Gloury’s unprovoked act was a disgrace and weak, one would assume a big penalty to be come. There was sniping and cheap shots from both sides throughout the game, not a good showcase for the league.

On Roxy’s Facebook page they have a big announcement tonight. Maybe a new coach??

Watching the GF and previous years it goes to show that speed is required come September. Bigger experienced bodies are great during the year but come finals you need speed and a bit of youth. Yes a couple of experienced players but WC were to slow as has been displayed last year and when Craigieburn won. Their speed and run was to much.

Speed and $400k

Exactly, does anyone really expect DP to be given congratulations for blatantly cheating? Spending that much $$$ , you'd want to win a B Grade competition!!!!

“Had to happen”

“Were they should be”

“Ended up where we needed too as a comp”

Three quotes from the EDFL footy ops manager, a job he got because Kitey said he could have it. No interview, no qualifications.

If the above 3 quotes are accurate then why the hell didn’t they start them in Premier.
Assume one particular board members other favourite team from the WRFL will be coming over and starting in Div.2 next season despite them winning back to back premierships.

Where was that said? Regardless I think the job of footy ops has run pretty smoothly since Adem had taken over. DP going to Div 1 wasn't his call, it was the board and he just had to act on that. Pretty rough giving a bloke a clip for doing the job he's told to do

They won the div 2 flag and EDFL wants to put them in div 3 ?

Would be interesting to go back and look at these in 12 months, a lot will change between now and November. Silly season about to begin!

Not to be taken too seriously, I’ll go -

1. St.Albans - Stable quality coach. They didn’t finish the season out but they pushed both grand finalists during the home and away. Have the budget to get the finishing touches.

2. Marby Park - Won’t play finals with the current list but expect Brodie to put a strong team together with his network. Too good of a coach with a premier base of kids, they will be there at the business end.
Pencil in lady’s day

3. Hillside - Coaching appointment will be crucial, someone that can take that young group forward. Older players still run the show, Eg. Covelli picking and choosing where he plays. Have the foundation, add some match winners and a quality fwd to replace Josh and they can make another step. Plenty of cash just need to stop paying overs to players that don’t help them. The best players are homegrown and young - Ryan, Hearne, Pettigrove etc.

4. Craigieburn - bit of a surprise packet this year, Jacobs was a great appointment. Tulla’s CHB is going back and expect them to add a few more. Big watch

5. Rupertswood - Depth is still an issue to go all the way. Galea another year older won’t help either. Swallow and Landt missed a lot of games, probably need an another gun mid. Having finals every week available must have putting some money in the bank.

6. West Coburg - Didn’t lose a game. Deer Park not here, would need to lose alot to slip too far I think. Clearys back to Avondale would be a worry if true.

7. Moonee Valley - Arguably the best coach in the division. Can see them making a run if they can just add a bit more class. Play their own ground very well

8. Tullamarine - could be top 3, could be bottom 3. Have to wait until the DC show starts announcing recruits. He will go hard, but hearing about half of existing list will exit.

9. Roxy Park - Farrelly will leave a big hole. They played for him and punched above his weight. If true, and it’s Terra, then 9th might be the ceiling. Can’t afford to lose McFarlane

10. Keilor Park - Started well but faded badly. No depth. Were not much stronger than Tulla, Westy and Glenroy in the second half. Another looking for a new coach.

11. Oak Park - it’s a massive jump and haven’t seen enough to know how they’ll fair.

On the surface it looks like a really tough and even comp, let’s hope that’s the case!
The bye comes back too with 11 teams

Div.2 WRFL (second tier). No idea of the standard
