EDFL Premier Discussion 2023

[ROOS77]

It’s very possible and makes sense in a lot of ways. It’s to difficult being president & coach especially at premier level. It’s difficult enough to coach.

Who will be coaching DP next year?

 

[Turbos mail]

Who will be coaching DP next year?

Saade Ghazi
Rocky maybe

 

[garbage]

Who will be coaching DP next year?

Pat will 100% be coaching at EK for as long as he can or until he wins a flag. Then see ya and then bye bye EK , unfortunately, unless they move him on through a new President or committee.

Keilor all good with Mighty Mick whilst others eat their own. Some clubs B’s their own worst enemies

Which clubs are you referring to as other than the EK position mid year I don’t see anything unusual. Mighty Mick is a legend but let’s remember his on the huge coin. And keilor almost voted to oust him a few years back now.
Has that now changed the landscape along with the salary cap/points that clubs will now go hunting higher coaches and offer them the big $$ rather than recruit heavily.. However not many around of the calibre of McGuane, Ayres, Dan Jordan, McCartney, Tudor and could probably add Holland. Just to name a few!!

Maybe Bullen might return???

Maybe Bullen might return???

I think Greenwood, why else would he come back

 

[ZingerAbed]

I can think of one reason

Bit early to compare Tudor to McGuane. Maybe Pacco are hoping they are getting the next Mick? Without proper infrastructure and culture no one will get to Micks heights

Spot on ontheroadagain!

Pacco have been wiped in three of their last four finals. Culture (or lack of) shines through when the going gets tough.

With their 18’s winning the flag and a new coach, they have a perfect opportunity to embed a great culture without having to go and recruit heavily.

 

[StormRider]

Hearing that Scotland was told to exit stage left on Wednesday! Any truth to this or is it just a rumour?

Heard the same and he is ringing around few of the DP boys to get them over to EK.

Not sure that’s exactly what EK needs… a bunch of 5 point (at least) players

Usually lucky to get one or two out of u18’s that can go straight into a senior team that is top 4. Even when you win an u18 flag. Number of gun u18 at Abers, Keilor and Strathmore play 2’s for years before getting a senior game.
Doubt many out of that flag team are going make much difference.

You forget that Pacco’s 18’s have been ordinary for years, at times non-competitive.

And I’m not talking about these 18’s being world beaters in Rd 1 of 2024. However, a new voice and some decent youth coming through (on top of an already solid list) could pay dividends over the next year or two.

 

[HELLSBELLS]

Rocky blindsided, reason was failed to meet KPIs set, Rocky didn't know of any KPIs but I'm sure the Christofi Cougars will say otherwise.


EK looking to Heath Scotland for next year.

Scotland will be in like I said in July.

 

[Oldtimesceptic]

I’m also told Marty Allison and Strathmore have parted ways as well…… yet to be confirmed but from a reliable source….very very reliable
Bit of a shake up going on in premier division…. Coaching side of things
Spotlight off EK so the insestual and narsacistic ways at EK can for the time being fly under the radar…. Sigh of relief from pat

if you are going to try use big words maybe learn how to spell

 

[kuppyours]

Are we expecting the competition of premier div to bounce back next season? Hope it does. Was great to see the number of juniors both teams used Gf day. Hope we see premier of old soon!

EK AGM tonight. Might get interesting...

Moved to tomorrow night

EK AGM tonight. Might get interesting...

Can I ask why it would be interesting? Unless someone has the numbers to overthrow coach, president,secretary, club historian and U16 premiership coach and have a major financial backer nothing will happen. If it does then the club will be back in C grade in 5 years

(retired) gone from Overland Reserve.

 

[bangfrom50]

Brandon Coletta (Hillside) and Heath Shaw (retired) gone from Overland Reserve.

Is Colletta 100% confirmed back to Hillside?

 

[BC04]

He wasn’t popular among the Essendon reserves however plenty of that coaching is manipulated from the AFL guys above.

Are you serious? You obviously did not see his results with the Essendon vfl side this yr. They went backwards bigtime

 

[The Defender]

Is Colletta 100% confirmed back to Hillside?

No, someone mentioned St.Albans a chance.

Definitely not Hillside .
