EDFL Premier Discussion 2022

[Johndoe]

I know it’s been done to death this points conversation but how do other sides catch up to the Keilors, Abers etc??? Remember there was a lot of disgust around paying juniors to switch clubs..
You can’t even chase there young talent as those players come with high points.

EK are doing exceptionally well but on the back of spending. Yes it’s working short term but should this be the answer to success???

Look at div1 for example and APW, Tulla doing well as are Roxy atm. But neither has strong good juniors at 18s, 16s so they will be in a heap of trouble if going up. Westmeadows juniors appear to be reasonable and Hillside 18s flying but neither senior side is close to being ready for promotion. Westmeadows flogged Hillside on the weekend but have an ageing list compared to Hillside.

How do Glenroy, Avondale improve???
Douttas copped a flogging on the weekend but a strong club. What’s the answer there??

Personally think a club should headhunt McGuane with a big offer to switch clubs. That might throw things sideways next season. BUT my point is how does a new coach bring players with the points system in place????? It can’t happen..

Turbs, the thing holding clubs back at the moment is $ not points

Last weeks points by club
Avondale = 41, Glenroy = 38, Abers = 29, EK = 46, Keilor = 27., EDS = 37, Marby = 32, Paco = 30, S'more = 23, GV = 33

Every club other than EK has room to move with their points. I'd guarantee the thing holding back Avondale and Glenroy (as you mentioned) is the adherance to the salary cap

Champion bloke, good to see him back on his feet and available to play again. Will be very handy for the cougars when not picked for Essendon

Turbo from all reports EK president doing a mountain of work around the juniors similar to the marby model to get good quality juniors coming thru the system . west meadows need to move heaven and earth to retain Mo Kakour he is the key to that club reading anywhere near it potential

Mountain of work is an understatement EK president priority is not just seniors. Equally invested in the junior program too. Will just take time I guess.

MoKak is loved by the players there, should definitely try retain his services

As a head coaching role ? I don’t think he’s at that level yet but never know! All the best to him if it’s true

Interesting response. EK president from all reports doing great work but my point is it’s going to take 4-5 years as they have no 18s and 16s play div2 being my point there.

Interesting comments re Westmeadows. For them to progress they need change imo as there “so called” better players would struggle in premier..I just think to progress you need to recruit a “big” name coach.

Hey it’s just my opinion and we all are entitled to have a view.

Here's my vision from the Aberfeldie v East Keilor game from Round 6 at Clifton Park. Apologies for the annoying wind noise throughout the video - may be a good idea to lower your volume.

I think your right about top three but with the past two seasons of covid I reckon this has disrupted the progess as for a big name coach everyone I have spoken to rate mo and say his players love playing for him. from my stand point this is a very important part of coaching also he is now also the main coach of the Bashar houli academy so he mush have something

Huuuuuuuge win. Keilor still got EK and pacco last two games. Ladder going to change a lot within the next two games I feel.

Awesome comp this year.
