EDFL Premier Discussion 2024

[Pat from EK]

A parody account of Pat might have been worth a little chuckle here and there, but you just ain’t funny enough. Try some wit.

Most people read and post on here because they love community footy, it’s the trolls that often steer it away.

Morons don't need to be parodied.

Pat will WIT Group still sponsor the club with you going?

 

[Wysiwyg]

Spotted the Pascoe Vale coach at an expensive Moonee Ponds Dog grooming salon. Nails clipped, teeth cleaned, shampooed wig. Ready to go!

Yep and you thanks the morons who put in the point system that players can’t go play with a bunch of mates if all are 3-4 pointers.

The point system is the best thing ever to happen to local footy.

The point system is the best thing ever to happen to local footy.

The only thing it’s changed is recruiting strategies. Instead of chasing 24 year olds with big $$$

Now chasing 12 year olds parents with all sorts of rubbish promises..

It’s only part of the fix. Need to regulate junior competitions and invest in development programs across the entire league ..the EDFL can step in and support all clubs… then the points system will have its intended impact

Got a feeling this might be one of the best GF’s in recent years.

2022 Grand Final going to extra time not good enough for you?

 

[DP 2025]

EDFL Team of the year, good to see DeerPark get a mention...

 

[Survey]

At least a new team is playing(instead of Mores/Abers)

The EDFL need to grow a set and limit junior teams to two in each age group. It will upset the big boys but stiff, to is the EDFL, not the KSAPVDFL!

Well it isn't going to happen when clubs at the bottom have the same amount of points as clubs who have been in Premier for years. They are limited to the amount of players they can bring in to get them under the cap and competing against premiership teams playing who are on 26-28 points. There is no way in hell anyone but the top five will win a flag in Premier in the next 10 years.

And they can get rid of the "loyalty point reductions after one year" crap.
Players shouldn't have their points reduced until they are into their third or fourth season.

Twas the Night before Christmas. Will mighty mick reign supreme and spoil the party or will Terrific Tudor break the drought and bring it home.



Why Keilor can win?

Silly Question. They have consistency all over the park with a dozen players you could name as their most important. Batman and robin in the midfield in O’Kearney and Ellis, Willaims down back and crafty forwards such as Kosmas and Colenso as well as swingman Petric who took the game away from the griff. Mick was far too good post half time and made structural changes that commanding respect and attention in the premiership quarter last week, giving Tudor the hint to have contingency plans in place for what mick has up his sleeve. Their ability to win the contested ball, have first possession post clearance was the difference last week and to gain territory from those statistics cause headaches for Nick Ash and his boys. Their full ground defense will give the panthers something to think about.



Why Pascoe Vale can win?

Trump Cards. Tudor has a chnace to make history and here is how. Stillman and Stedrick are able to steady the ego heavy list and command the best from their teammates. Iacobaccio is a superb forward who chase excellence by clean ground work and zippy play to make their mark. Ahern roaming the ground with his aura and presence is second to none. Matthew Watson will play well wherever Tudor plays him - he has the trait to win the game off his own boot. The joker in the deck however is Ahmed Saad. He is a freak. On one leg, he can do no wrong and poses a threat to whoever is the poor soul that has to go toe to toe with the great one. Trump cards galore, they will need the bottom five players to stand up to keilor’s to have a fair crack. They did it a fortnight ago, can they do it again.



It will be either a Keilor smashing or a Panther win in a nailbiter.



The Whisp’s prediction:

First Goal: Saad

Best on ground: O’Kearney

Premiers: Keilor by 37 points



Good luck and best wishes to everyone playing, watching and involved with the weekend.

Forgot the most important Trump card Tudor has in his deck...I'll give you his stats tomorrow night!

Getting some calamari in me before the big day. Feels like my kids are getting married and I’m the MC. Forget waking up with the old morning wood - I’ll be going to bed with a sleepy stiffy!

The EDFL need to grow a set and limit junior teams to two in each age group. It will upset the big boys but stiff, to is the EDFL, not the KSAPVDFL!

Implementing that limit will see hundreds kids decide not to play football. Next suggestion?

So the smaller clubs with less juniors have no hope??
