EDFL Premier Discussion 2025

[Flyingleslieskite]

From the NFNL Board - “Anyone else spot Nick Okearney (keilor edfl star/ex st kilda draftee! at Reservoir yet to be announced?”

Surely he’s not leaving a premier Div club for Div 3?

If he was leaving the EDFL and Keilor to play in the Northern FL it would be West Preston Lakeside with his ex Parade school mates

Looks like they got wrong bloke which makes more sense.

Tasmanian State League star with Glenorchy Jaye Bowden has signed at Maribyrnong Park under Brodie Holland. Wouldn’t be coming cheaply I wouldn’t have thought.

And here they come!
Suggest Marby under Brodie won’t be premier easy beats a lot are suggesting…

he is 35 and clearly his best is behind him. Still bottom 2 for me.

I predicted they will be very competitive.

10 games at Glenorchy in last 5 years. Whoopi do. $200.00 a game would pull him up.

Hes washed up and if he was that good he would have played VFL or SANFL earlier in his career

They will struggle Turbo

These types tend to go well in edfl premier especially if his still fit which I believe he is.

Fair enough mate but as you know footy is very up & down and things can change quickly. Stay well mate and HNY.

 

[Bont the Lord]

They will struggle Turbo

I think they will be fine to be honest

Can’t see them being anything other than 8th/9th along with Douttas and EK will drop down as everyone expects.

All other 7 teams will fancy themselves as finalists

Any truth to EK requesting a demotion to play div 1 2025?

Wouldn’t surprise me, it’s very unlikely they will compete week to week but don’t like their chances. Which Div.1 club would be willing to forego a shot at a Premiership to take promotion ?

I can't see it being a 9 team competition in 2025.
Either way it will be a fixturing headache regardless if it happens with fixtures already released

Here we go, every year there is a rumour like this about some club...
Any truth to EK asking? Possibly EK don't look like fielding a strong side and will most likely struggle in 2025, but I doubt they would ask.
Will the EDFL oblige? Categorically NO. The fixtures are in, they have enough trouble working it out as is, they won't want a bye in both Prem and Div 1 and I couldn't see any Div 1 team putting up their hand to go up on short notice when most would have already allocated their player budget and targeted who they could based on playing in Div 1.

I predicted they will be very competitive.

So long as they finish above EK, which from the chat on here seems likely, they'll be reasonably well positioned to consolidate & look to take steps forward in coming years.

spot on turbo look at no3 jarred from strathmore
would be 40 odd now at a guess but still presents extremely fit and is used totally outside where is ball use and brain still contributes to so much

Jarad has been very good but also plays in a very good team, would be nowhere near as effective if playing in a lower team

From what I saw last year he’s slowed down quite abit from his form of previous seasons

Jarrad also played over 200 games and won 2 flags in the SANFL before landing at Strathmore, bit of a stretch to compare them.
