EDFL Premier Discussion 2024

[Turbos mail]

yes Keilor would beat them

The top 5 at Yarra would be rated better than the top 5 at Keilor. The likes of Gibbons, Wheeler, Masters would easily be better than keilors best 3. Then the ruckman Howe would beat keilor ruck. Plus they have another Howe just out of AFL. Throw in Williams up forward who is still pretty handy. That’s 6 high quality players..
Anyway it’s really irrelevant and just 2 different styles played on totally opposite grounds. Yarra leg speed would be telling as mentioned by a previous poster.

Good luck out running the current Keilor team!

Always find these discussions interesting but you'll never know for certain.
The top 5 at Yarra would be as good as any around.
IMO the question is whether they bat as deep & where the game is played- a large country ground or an edfl mudpit, would also have a say in the outcome.

Due to circumstances beyond their control Deer Park are clearly not going to win the EDFL premeirship this year. Allowing Goater & Morrish to pursue their dreams in the USA and supporting Testa & Knight with their commitments to career progression is reflective of a caring football club. However, it is very very clear that the premiership for Kiosk and Bar supplies has been won by Deer Park as at Round 5. The variety of food on offer at very reasonable prices along with an outstanding bar at reasonable prices should not be overlooked and be applauded. Well done Deer Park...

Allowing Goater & Morrish to go, haha. It’s not their decision to make it’s the players. Judging by the points I guess the recruited to cover for them anyhow.
Still time for Deer Park to make 5th if they are good enough. Already played the top 2 sides in Keilor & Pacco.. EK yet to play them 2 and Abers .

Ya having a laugh surely

Even at away games

 

[torpfrom50]

Deer Park have the unique ability to perform when it matters. Ask West Coburg if you are in doubt. Building nicely as we lead into 2024. A very strong group with an A Grade coach who will cause some real headaches for opposition teams and their coaching staff in 2024. Watch this space going forward...

When is this likely to take effect

 

[BlueJet]

Stop taking the bait.

This is a summation of The Longbow's posting.

You never no with dp supporters there been drinking there own bath water for years

Goulburn Valley League is second rate.

It is now, shadow of the it’s former self compared to 10-15 years ago…

They have a similar issue as this comp but instead of Keilor by how much, it's Echuca.
It's still regarded as a higher standard comp than Bendigo though.

rochester beat echuca only 2 weeks ago though. so very beatable. haven't seen anyone get close to keilor in about a year

Pretty sure even Silver Tongue confirmed Echuca a few short. But still, a win is a win.

A depleted Echuca, yes but doesn't really detract from the point made that the consensus is that both comps are largely considered one horse races.

 

[tigertony]

Who cares about Echuca or wherever in the country… this is supposed to be about EDFL premier Div.

 

[BlueJet]

Discuss it then..

 

[Aucklander]

Discuss it then..

Any discussion which includes Keilor sounds like EDFL premier discussion to me.....

 

[TheFootballWhisperer]

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, it’s time for the whisperer’s reviews. Another week of Essendon district football league action filled with drama, anticipation, anticipation and excitement. Let’s get stuck into it companions.

1. Abers to respond vs Deer Park but it won’t be convincing. They play bruise free football and look good when it’s going their way but if deer park can get on top and pressure them while getting Daw isolated then anything is possible.
2. The Jets to continue to fly up the EDFL ladder and will down the winless and division 1 bound Airport West
3. Pat has stars on every line but it won’t be enough to overcome the real stars of the competition. If doutta lsoe I will officially never tip them again.
4. Strathmore to conduct open training at canning reserve. Awesome Ash could lace up the boots for this game and they’d still win.
5. I’ve waited for this. There is no greater heavyweight battle in the league then what is going to unfold at Raeburn Reserve. The Streak is in danger. Tudor has been sensational to start season 2024 and will need all hands on deck to defeat this unbeatable and unbelievable Mick Mcguane led side. Ahmed Saad back into the mix following what we thought was a season ending injury, he just won’t be denied. He took West Preston to glory in back to back triumphs and will want to add a Premier Premiership Medal to go with it. He’s the craftiest forward I’ve seen at local level and I sense mick won’t be so mighty after trying to find a matchup for him. Matthew Watson, Paul Ahern

, Paul Guccione and co will go toe to toe with the likes of Honey, O’Kearney and Ellis. This is a match fit for wrestlemania. The whisperer, declares, that….





Pascoe Vale will prevail in an all out classic by five points.

 

[TheFootballWhisperer]

Abers are the only team that can push Keilor legitimately, even last year when they were 6th they were up at their ground most the day just Keilor too strong late which is always the worry, the other 2 fold up against them like a deck chair

I tried to tell everyone, abers are pretenders. Mighty Mick has one had on the cup

 

[TheFootballWhisperer]

G'day big footy maggots,
You're hiness here sir pat aka e.k coach/president here.
Just know one thing e.k are on the march and that continues tomorrow against the old mob pretenders deer Park!
Easy 10 goal win on the way!!
Beware e.k are coming loud and strong

I want royalties and pay over my constant East Keilor involvement and hype I try to do about EK. I’ll send you my invoice.

 

[BlueJet]

Yep - discussing how the powerhouse of the EDFL stacks up against other sides = not EDFL-related.
Got it
