EDFL Premier Discussion 2024

[oldone1]

EKFC seem to be signing some quality. Maybe they won’t be as bad as we thought.

with what they are signing 0-18 - hopefully they can steal a win somewhere

 

[dandy redlegs]

Got them to a GF and they beat Keilor on the way to the GF something no other team ( other than APW) has been able to do for a long time. Can’t be all that bad.

Daniel Harris recently appointed as an assistant is an excellent choice.
Adam Contessa recently appointed 18.5 coach, another excellent choice.

Fair coaching panel put together by Pacco moving forward. Cannot recall a better credentialed coach for an 18.5 side in my memory. Ex AFL player, coached at premier senior level at multiple leagues and lives locally and invested into the club though his family involvement.

Pacco going down the path of promoting and playing the kids. Could we see them leapfrog other powerful clubs in the immediate future with this plan moving forward?

Hey Turbo. Hard to play the kids when best player Kaakour off to hillside and Mua Tavo off to StAlbans. Both are gun players. Have 2024 assistant coaches stayed at Pacco?

Deer Park are building nicely here, that's 4 very good signings... More to come I hear.

 

[BlueJet]

Ability to sign players was never in doubt, ability to fit under the points cap, is..

 

[Oldtimesceptic]

They'll get some good players, just a matter of how quickly they will gel. And whether or not J Sherman sticks it out. Those home grown players lost Hill, Caluzzi and Laguda will be back eventually, whether its 2026 or not.

Highly doubtful they will come back.

Played on 44 points in the last round. 10 of those drop a point (including Chatfield).

Hill - 4
Christofi - 4
Jong - 3.

There’s 11 points used out of 12. So to fit others… players are coming out of that side.

You forget that in order to get Hill, Christofi & Jong in the side that 3 players must come out, that's atleast another 3 points... maybe more. They would have a minimum of 4 points still to use if they are all 1 pointers who go out. They can still target another good player and no doubt they will.

That not the 6 points they need for McKenzie (if he goes there). So higher point players will come out. My point being… they are a fair way off reaching the pinnacle of this comp.
