EDFL Premier Discussion 2023

Whilst a very good back pocket. Allison can be easily replaced. They’ve got serious depth in the under 18s & reserves let alone recruiting.
Condon hurts but I’m sure they’ve got a few on the radar in that area.
Vavra is a massive loss especially if Keogh is playing full time vfl. Also egglestone did his knee before the grand final so potentially 4 big outs but strathmore will replace and be there again.

Who is Keogh playing VFL "full time" with?

He played a few games for north Melbourne this year.

I'm aware thank you. But what was meant by "full time" is what I'd like to know.

VFL footballers aren't full time athletes. They're part-time.

Tim Quick announced to EK

Bahaha, PC and GA cheque-book dualing over local footy. Getting Dazza McG all hot under the collar too. Delicious. Grab me a box of popcorn.

 

[MortlockWatcher]

Pot v Kettle in a cheque book face-slapping contest LOL.

 

[Localblues]

For those on Facebook. Mcgoldrick and Pat having a bit of a too and fro on the Tim quick post.

With the list of outs at deer park as of right now they’re bottom three…

Very out of character for the two of them, normally quite reserved respectful sort of characters…..

Good to see the Edfl addressing the big issues and introducing a salary cap in the women’s competition.Laughable (almost) and will only put pressure on the clubs to pay money.
They cannot even police the salary cap and should be more concerned about running the Mens competition than trying to buy popularity from the minority.

Sorry I meant with north Melbourne moving on from a few talls he could play regular football at north.
Not full time as in full time athlete.

Don't worry mate, it wasn't hard to understand what you meant.
Good on him though, he's obviously developing well.

Good player and I wouldn't be surprised if we find him on an AFL list eventually. He'd be a great backup ruckman too.

Can people enlighten me as to how these so called signings work. Is an agreement between club and player an enforceable document in a court of law?. If so, is the contract that has been entered into subject to obtaining a clearance ?.
Based on the above questions has a player or club ever taken a breach of contract to court and if so what was the outcome?.
Lets be honest Pat at EK must be some sort of salesman but does the sale come watertight for the player?. Honestly cannot believe Tim Quick has left Deer Park for East Keilor and does anyone have the scoop as to any reasons why other than monetary compensation?.

Only Tim can answer the reasons why.

As far as contracts go as long as they are done properly ie. signed by player and witnessed/signed by club official then they hold up and clubs can deny players a clearance. Unlikely Tim was contracted for 2024 so Deer Park don’t have any options to hold him.

Don't new players have to become registered before they are considered valid, i.e. February 1, unless otherwise arranged (not including multiple year deals including 2023 and 2024)?

Don't the players have to become registered before they are considered valid, i.e. February 1, unless otherwise arranged?

That’s true.
There was an example of that this season with a player signing at a club, taking a sign on, then having a change of heart prior to Feb 1. Believe he paid back the sign on in good faith but technically the club didn’t have a leg to stand on. Only a matter of time before some mercenaries take a sign on without playing for said club

Purely money ?

Zero doubt as is the case with all that grace Pat !

Doubt it’s because Pat can coach

 

[Still Me]

In QLD if a player moves from one club to another it comes with an additional 2 points loading. Does that apply in this competition?

Believe its 1 extra point going from one prem team to another.

Yes so Smart and Quick will be 4 or 5 points?

The irony of a deer park person complaining about another club paying big money for players is laughable. About time they copped their right whack!

Exactly - I don't know why clubs do it. They roll them out in Oct/Nov and come Feb they are off to the country or have left for " Personal Reasons" -

On another note, i was looking for the Joke of the Week and come across the headline "Introduction of Salary Cap for EDFL Womens Comp" - surely they are taking the Pi**. What's next a Cap on free membership for juniors......

 

[Flyingleslieskite]

Keilor young gun Jovan Petric playing VFL with Williamstown in 2024. Should be playing VFL week in week out though.

 

[TheFootballWhisperer]

Sorry for my absence but in the words of MJ (Michael Jordan) “I’m Back”. I can see EK (East keilor) making a push. They’ve splashed the cash and are always on top of the salary ladder but I see them with their new additions being a greater threat then Strathmore. Dumont will be found out whereas EK have some genuine stars that can put pressure on Mick in his selection meetings. The argument about them going over the cap is relevant but it cannot be understated they have some guns in the yellow red and black.

I promise Christofi didn’t pay me to make this post

Most clubs would be over cap I'm sure.

Points is EKs bigger problem.

 

[HBFlanker]

is Dumont locked in?

Ive heard Norwood in SANFL were interested in him returning.

At only 28 years old he will dominate this grade.
