EDFL Premier Discussion 2025

[Route 59]

Surely you are the cans mate.
His fit as and still more than capable. Big blokes don’t fall off trees. Good on him for continuing to do what he obviously loves and if his getting some $$ for it even better.

He is a superstar Turbo but is also 38-39 years old. The decline could come quick, like it did with Browne, although he went home for $ so bit unknown how much longer he could have gone at this level.
Gamble paying him big dollars in my opinion. We’ll know by round 10 I guess.
On a different matter, big 10,000 posts coming up for you this year.
You need to concentrate nearing the milestone and make it a good one.

Haha that’s wrong. He turned 38 years old in September 2024.

He’s a quality pick up no doubt Turbo, especially as Pacco were deficient in the ruck this year, but he did slow down a bit last season compared to what I’d seen in 2023.

 

[FootyNuff123]

I saw him at his local running track just last week and he is fit as a fiddle, he will still be one of the comp's premier ruck this year no doubt.

You obviously don’t know who won Pacco’s B&F last year… their ruckman who won most weeks

Hofert? I haven't seen his re-signing announced... has he gone elsewhere?

I’d take Hofert.

Browne had a really good year last year, in a league with good ruckman, he went up against osullivan (4 or 5 league medals at 43 & Pattinson ex richmond) Hargreaves from Wedderburn, putt, hosking the best ruck in Bendigo the year before, so don't think he'll fall over the cliff anyime soon either

Alright enough about Matty Dennis and whatever he does and decides to do, might be time to start a seperate thread about him
