EDFL Division 1 2016

Hearing that Glenroy have landed a very good ruckman can anyone confirm

Can confirm! not sure on name but rumour was he was an interleague ruckmen in strong country league.

If that is confirmed you would think that brings the roys right into finals mix with a good ruckman a good young midfield there backline has always been strong an winter Wallace an Carruthers up forward good signs for the roys

don't think this will happen. Looks like the Saints will pick up the required players for 18's. I dont think seniors will be the easy beats a few people have touted them to be, seeing that people think the carusos were the club.
players joining the club every week, I'm hearing really good players, so they will have a decent side for divvy 1. If not pushing finals in 2016, with the young no name talent thay have, will be pushing finals from 2017. As a sponsor I am delighted the changes the club has made a massive turnaround to where it was. Could be a really good game first up against Westy at Mutton. I reckon northern could be a smokey for finals....???

Thats good to hear Goalside. Dont like to see any side go under

Should be a few good hitouts, hopefully the young fellas can show a bit and build some confidence for the year ahead.

Cragieburn

Oak Park
Glenroy
Northern
Tullamarine
Hillside
Taylors
Haddy

Oak Park/Glenroy on par with Westy
Northern new team, really young could make 4 or go the other way at bottom, but youth get em thru
Hiilside lost Stocco? Ferraro's ankle any good?
Haddy just not retained enough premiership players to give it a good go
Tulla always thereabouts
Sorry to Taylors.

Think Hillside flying under the radar boys. Should be top 4 I reckon. A good blend of home grown talent mixed with some handy recruits. They are slowly building a good base to launch, however maybe not quite ready this year but let's wait and see. Probably not the big name players but they will be fast. Let's remember they almost beat Craigieburn (at Craigieburn) last year so with there game plan so could they be a smokey??
Glenroy seem to have picked up a few but the question remains on there younger players and if they can improve around the Winters, Dulic etc.
Oak Park will be thereabouts & Craigieburn short priced favourites again.
Westy need to bring in some younger players and change up things. Broadbent a great pick up!!

There's my top 5.

 

[Billyblogs]

I think c/burn will do it with a leg in the air
Oak park,Westy,glenroy,will improve but I'd think tulla will cover them they seem to be under the radar again

 

[u know it!]

Any clubs looking for a ground to play on for practice matches private msg me and I will give you a contact! Cheers

IMO crazy then daylight to westy and roys, I think tulla and OP will be fairly stagnant without to much improvement in lists, Roys the sharp improvers but still behind westy, think the roys will have more firepower up forward than westy but the tigs will still have stronger mids, relegation coin toss between lakes,haddy,NS as i don't see to many wins for these 3 apart from when they play eachother will make these massive games, going to be great division!

Ferraro's ankle is questionable but I hope I'm wrong, he is an absolute star and a great bloke.
Taleb broke his ankle late last year also, so time will tell how the young bloke fares. Very humble kid with an enormous amount of talent, if his ankle is good watch out. Mo can turn a game on its head if given the chance.
Good luck to you boys and Hillside.

Where is Stocco going?

He kicked more goals in A grade before he went to Hillside.. delivery

Off to Sunshine in the WRFL.

Rumours that Volpato has left coburg in the VFL and will play entire season at hillside, wants to play with mates

I would like to know why you think oak park haven't improved there list??? Lost 2 players and from all reports have brought in 10-15 new players. That will improve there list and with them finish last in the 2nds then there dept wasn't much. But with up to 15 new players I think there list would have been greatly improved which means spots for seniors will be harder hence I think that they will improve on last season and will be fighting for double chance behind craigieburn.
I agree with your opinion on tullamarine. Lost 3 key position players not sure if they replaced them. Plus there senior players are another year older and might find it hard this year. It could be like TL from last year where they relied to much on there older players and just avoided relegation.

To be honest mate when putting my opinions up on sides a lot is only based on what I hear on here and rumour, being involved with cragieburn and more recently glenroy which i am no longer heavily involved with can get better insight to these 2 clubs, regarding OP again rumour based that German and another player leaving i think (bloomfield) I might be wrong on that, but replacements that i know of cronin,andersen,hillsdon all ex glenroy and not going to improve you to contender with cragieburn, I'm hearing danny campbell has changed his mind on going there and the only other IN I've heard is Smith and granted this is a great pick up, so unless someone gets on here and names some other pickups I wouldn't have OP list as improving.

If true really puts them in calculations as the kid can really play.

 

[cranium65]

Yea, just a few issues to clear up. Shouldn't take long to fix it.

Any news? Season getting close.

That would be huge for Hillside.

 

[Turbos mail]

Just got confirmation he has gone back to Hillside. Great get.. His a smaller player so it's hard to get opportunities at the higher level, but believe he left Coburg as wanted to play with his mates. Might challenge Broadbent for that comp medal.

 

[Aucklander]

No news. Not sure why the delay.

Hillside certainly go up a bit in my predictions with Jacko back. Not sure they'll be top 4, but certainly thereabouts.

 

[Aucklander]

Good to see Glenroy using two of their very best youngsters on the 70 year anniversary flyer.

Alright then. Must be frustrating.
