Pegs have already informed the WRFL they are leaving for the EDFL

Apparently a certain club in the area close to PEGS started ringing other club presidents telling them to email the league advising that PEGS shouldn’t be in the EDFL. I’m guessing enough clubs did this and it may require a vote from all 30+ clubs for them to grant access.

Just shows how self centred some clubs and presidents are, PEGS should be in the EDFL.Interesting that the reason they joined the WRFL when they established junior teams was the EDFL's requirement for their seniors to also join the EDFL. Has the EDFL relaxed this condition?

St.Bernards would be looking on with interest if they have.

PEGS and St.Bernards juniors should be in the EDFL. Who cares if their senior teams are in the VAFA.

I reckon an under 18 coming up to seniors would need a new jumper anyway, given numbering system doubt an under 18 would have a number that didnt clash with seniors
Bigger picture completely understand the theory of alcohol and gaming with juniors

Unless that number was already being worn by a player in that grade (be that Seniors, Reserves or Thirds), logos aren't different (not that officials are overly concerned about whether a league logo is in the right spot) and the sponsor assuming there is one doesn't advertise something illegal for Under 18s consumption then there's no reason why that jumper can't be worn. Sponsors it seems aren't necessarily part of the matching uniform policy, just the design of the guernsey socks and shorts.

Pat? Pegs coming in would not be good for EK. Probably Avondale Heights either.

Thats the clubs issue and the players choice. It happens in footy, move along

Its not the players choice at all.
Having your junior section in the EDFL and your senior section in the VAFA, means that the EDFL will lose players when they transition to senior level, as their senior section is affiliated with the VAFA
I believe your junior and senior section should be affiliated, to be able to join the EDFL, this will also minimise the EDFL losing good talent from the area, when the player transitions to senior level. Just my opinion.

A lot of EDFL Juniors get lost to the VAFA regardless with a lot choosing to play with either St.Bernards or PEGS once they're done at junior level. Especially if it means still being around their school mates.

And thats not just those who went to those schools. A lot who never went to those schools end up playing senior footy at those clubs or making it their club.

Some EDFL juniors may also choose to play at another VAFA club eg Therry, SKOB, Old Xavs, MHSOB, Melbourne Grammar given their school links as a way of means to keep in touch with school mates. Could say the same for Uni Blacks/Blues, even other clubs close to the zone such as Fitzroy, UHS-VU, Brunswick, West Brunswick and North Brunswick.

He will be great for the youngsters. Would be good to see him get on the park a bit more for them!

Hopefully there are no hero’s out there that try to be tough around him.
hope the umpires look after him and any idiot that does something stupid is sent off straight away. We want to attract these players to play in the league.

This already occurs, St Francis FC juniors EDFL Therry FC seniors VAFA. Maybe of a case do nothing unless it’s in our backyard. The sooner the narrow minded clubs realise that the only way to negotiate on ALL issues that impact a club or clubs is as ONE.

Ascot vale will always be a junior club. Can’t see them getting seniors in the 10 years. So there are all those players that could end up at multiple clubs across multiple leagues. Not sure if they have a partnership with Parkside (WRFL) but they do use their ground some Sundays.

They'll all just end up down the road at Marby Park or Moonee Valley to play 18s and seniors IMO

Great recruit for AH and will definitely bring more attraction to the ANZAC Day clash.

I think the hero mentality has gone out of premier league.

Amazing that the so called Premier Clubs ( EK, ABER, AH, EDS, MARBY ) would be in panic mode about 100 kids coming into the competition for the sake of locality.
2 junior clubs just entered up north Merryfield and Dallas and those power clubs said nothing.
At least this leave no doubt that these power clubs dont care about the league, they only care about the cash cow of junior footballers who wear their jumpers this year
Disgusting behaviour by "would be" community leaders
