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.

Who are the signing?

 

[unwise gamgee]

Who are the signing?

dion hill (east keilor), lin jong (mulgrave), zen christofi (east keilor) and josh chatfield re-signed all announced on their facebook in the last few days

 

[ChazzMichaels]

dion hill (east keilor), lin jong (mulgrave), zen christofi (east keilor) and josh chatfield re-signed all announced on their facebook in the last few days

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.

Any home grown coming up from juniors ??
Oh i forgot EDFL let them in to the competition with the promise of a junior program

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.

Turbo Brian Lake coached caroline springs u/18s
3 x afl premiership player
Norm Smith medal
All Australian
Best on ground in Japan
Best on ground portsea polo
Not sure how contessa stats stack up against lake

 

[BEST OF EDFL]

Hearing he is close to resigning at Pacco.

Hill - 4
Christofi - 4
Jong - 3.

42 mate and drop 12 and 5 one point multiple premiership players back plus Bailey morrish

Says 44 on PlayHQ for the last round. So was just going off that as a basis for the team. If 5 one point players come back, it still means others are pushed out. The team will improve. This isn’t the WRFL. And there is a way to go to get on Keilor’s level.

Add a 3 point Bundoora ruckman.

I’ve heard mark galea and Lachlan smart also returning which are both 1 pointers.

They definitely winning the recruiting battle this offseason so far.

No pies in paper bags next season at DP, saving them for new recruits

Hopefully the powers to be at deer park don’t out of the kindness of their hearts allow a couple of players to chase personal goals in the united states on the eve of the season. You’d hate for a decision like that to cost them 2 flags in a row

And don’t think Mickey is asleep at the wheel at Keilor. They got some nice additions coming as well from what I hear. Even might have a ruckman this year which will give them an even chance in middle

I bet each addition will play for unders because that’s the Keilor way.

Believe 2 of the assistants have left one was a player, Iaccabacio both from all reports were loved by all the boys which makes it all even stranger! From an outsider looking in it all seems very strange as to why there has been so much turnover at a club that played in a Prem GF a month ago.

The coach is why

Might be the culture

Nope, one thing
New assistant coaches will hopefully improve the situation.

The coach got Pacco to a GF, something no one has gone close to at Pacco despite how much cash they’ve splashed in the last decade. Doubt he is the issue, why have you jumped off Tudor now ? Any reasoning ?
