EDFL Premier Div 2020

[Newatthis]

I assume abers were on the limit of the salary cap last year $20,000 less this year and they sign this guy,in your words the biggest offer I’ve heard in a long time,how in the hell can they be under the cap next year.

Others took a huge pay cut to get him across the line, that and his partner will work in the canteen.

They have lost Blackwell so it releases some $$. Don’t forget they have been fined before so are on notice.

Hearing Craven and rush maybe retiring or moving on. They will free up some space.
Remember they played a lot of kids so they don’t cost much. I’m guessing 7-8 kids under 20 throughout the year.

I don’t think they will be under but they would claim - no Blackwell or Pound next year

I'm sure that there's something more worthwhile to discuss than the status of a players marriage,
Pacco recruiting heavily again - will this be the season that it pays dividends or will the likes of Keilor, Abers & Strathmore still be too strong?

Let’s show a bit of respect and leave players relationships out of these discussions

Abers obviously recruited well with Meese but might be losing a few ?
Strathmore a young side last year on the rise so if they hold their list and add some top end talent that compliment their list they could be strong.
Keilor undefeated season with a rough run of injuries(Cavka, O’kearney, McGregor) Can bring in these players almost as new recruits and haven’t lost any players have they?

Will definitely be a competitive season

 

[Passionateman]

Abers have lost 5-6. They have gained Messe (who is a star), and were undefeated in their reserves last year. They had lots of under 19s deciding to play reserves last year. I think this is the perfect storm for Abers to lower their spending and to also bring in a fresh batch of youngsters, develop and keep them.

What’s the years and $ for the Meese deal?

Which 5-6 have they lost?

Meese is a gun! Not sure what he is on but he is worth 1.5-2k a game

Meese on >$2k per game as his junior club West Preston offered but were outbid. Will dominate as beside Deluca ruck stocks pretty light on.

the edfl is becoming like Premier League more and more - pencil in AB v K for GF again, so predictable with SM & Pv rounding out top 4. Battle for relegation more interesting which is a sad case. CB coming up but history says side coming up always struggle and Throw in AH and Ed’s (who have lost Angus and Lil) then there’s your bottom 3. Perhaps add Glenroy in that mix as well as they have lost a few.

Keilor have to be favourite for the title again. Abers losing some but they are still a strong club. Some reserves will step up to fill the void and all capable. Have the best junior program for many years but Strathmore gaining on that. Only EDS have had a better group from which they would have had players between 24 and 21 years old now. Down side for them though is most have scattered for various reasons. Greenvale will be the dark horse, they will have an up and down year. Strathmore and Pascoe Vale will make up the four. Maribyrnong pulled some games out of the bag but haven’t heard much to what is happening there. AH and CB to fight out relegation.

Can blame the lunatics who thought the points system was a good idea for this.. No surprise that Abers and Keilor both have the strongest juniors so will continue to dominate and teams like Pacco, Marby cant compete

 

[The Sandman]

Good get. Jets have lost some quality young talent to other Premier clubs in recent seasons. Pacco up to their old tricks of raiding other clubs Turbo?

nick parthers played at PV for a couple of seasons as a junior

You guys should probably stop talking about his private life. Stick to the football side.

Did the other clubs not see this coming??? I can assure you the edfl will do nothing. the rules were for everyone. all but a few prepared themselves for this. I hope abers new 3 storey clubrooms attract many more affluents outside of their suburb. eat or get eaten

I agree Keilor and Abers with maybe Strathmore for GF. Disagree with AH fighting for relegation. Looking at their FB page have seem to recruited well and their u/19 played in GF so should have some players come through. I believe Greenvale will struggle with a few leaving.

Would take a generation for the other clubs to catch up to what Abers have built, but for clubs like Pacco, Glenroy etc who have an ageing demographic and very few kids coming through makes it impossible, unless they start poaching talented u16 & 18yo so that when they get to senior footy they are only better point players.

Big call putting Strathmore ahead of Abers. Even though they have lost a few they seem to have recruited and some of their reserves will step up. Not sure AH will finish 6th either. Greenvale will struggle, but 8th? Or have they lost more than people are saying. EDS lost a few games by quiet a lot but they also lost some they shouldn’t have and by not many.
