I have seen several messages here and there but can someone give me a run down of players coming in and players leaving the EDFL?

I follow West Coburg and have a soft spot for North Coburg so if there is any info on these clubs that would be great! :)

I umpire in the EDFL so I have no team, but a mate plays for NCS and he tells me that Simon Whittle has left OP and gone back home to NCS.

I played a bit of footy at Marby over the years before venturing over to Nobs last season. Love that club, all my mates play there and am thinking about heading back either this season or the next depending on how my preseason goes.

Will they have a team next year?

The whispers were that they were going to be cut from the league as they had too much trouble last season fielding junior sides.

EDFL rules say that each team must field 7 teams a year.

And of course Sydenham-Hillside join the league next year making 11 in B grade.

Be interesting to see how they go. The Hillbillies do have a lot of local support, could have a big effect on how Taylors Lakes go next season, in terms of players lost......would make for an interesting local derby.

Who's your mate at North Coburg? I play there as does B1954

Simon Whittle hasn't come to the Bops yet, he hasn't been at any trainings, but he is being talked too. I hope we get him though, it seems like theres a pretty good chance he will come. He almost came last year as did Alex Tortora from Greenvale but they both fell through at the last minute. Apparently we're talking to about 10 or 15 players including Simon Whittle and Travis Potts, who won a B and F for us

And Ross Teranova has left Pascoe Vale for Roxburgh Heights

My mate is Vanders..I played my juniors at NCS as well.

As for Terra....will RP have seniors next year?
 
Yes Roxburgh Park will have seniors next year along Sydneham Hillside. Apparently the coach of Roxburgh Park is former AFL Player John Rombotis and Jarrod Molly is the assistant coach. Also Peter Daicos has somethinf to do with the coaching at Roxburgh Park next year. You Can see the Collingwood connection​

Should be right, but the junior situation is certainly not healthy, the bottom age juniors are getting stronger in numbers but u16/u18 players are sparse. I played most of my footy in undermanned u18 sides at Marby after heading over from Abers who had players missing out every week. There are just too many Clubs in such a close area, and too make things worse they all flock to Clifton Park due to their solid junior reptuation which they deserve.

Marby are a proud senior club, they'll keep battling away.

Is that the Terranova who went to St Joes?

Been putting the hard word on a few boys from Nth Coburg to play u19's at Nobs next year. Uzsicnki still down there?

Joe Uzsicnki? As far as I know he's still here
 
Marby had once a upon time a good junior sides with numbers in every age group from under 10 to Under 18. What went wrong was that everybody want to play for Abers because they were an A Grade Team in the seniors and also in the higher under age groups as back then the Under 18 and Under 16 played in where you seniors played. (e,g If Marby Seniors played B Grade then its Under 18 and Under 16 played B Grade no matter if they won the grand final. There was no promation. I think that has changed now)

The U/18's are aligned with the senior sides.

16, 14, 12 and 10's are aligned on Sundays.

Is that senior or reserve players going to Sydneham?
At least six senior players have left Tulla 2 to Keilor park,2 to Abers,1 to Strathmore and 1 to the WRL included in the above is the capt, 1st & 2nd b&f winners.
 
Fair chance East Keilor are going to lose a couple of highly paid 20 year olds that they recruited last seasonPretty keen on having a year back with there mates from all reports.
