Metro South Juniors

[Jetters]

take EFC out of the MSJFL and its toast..but this was always going to happen once EFC joined the SFL..so what preparations have the MSJFL made to be ready for this?..none i would suggest..just hoping it would go away..on the other hand EFC is leaking players like a busted tap and clubs in the immediate area are the benefactors..parents of kids playing juniors at EFC in the MSJFL wont go south to play sunday football in the SFL..wont happen..they will just leave..really hard conundrum and i cant see who wins out of all this..because noone does..

The EFC have told the MSJFL post the 2011 season that they will remain in the league. Pretty poor and deceptive from the EFC.

The EFC have become a very minor part of the MSJFL and a weak club; their u16s from last year were their last strong group. Ever since they have moved their seniors to the SFL and rumours of their juniors moving started they have got progressively weaker and weaker.

Zedman, I dont understand why you are so cynical of the MSJFL, it peaked in numbers a couple of years ago, but is currently not too much lower. However, there is certainly an issue with the older grades. IMO some sort of merger between the MSJFL and Metro West in the older grades, say u13s and above would be an ideal solution, as both leagues are having issues at the senior end.

It disgusts me the action of club(s), that are known to pay a significant number of senior players, yet let their juniors struggle and blame the league for their failure.

Jetters, the blaming the league for various things will always happen, sometimes clubs need to stand up for themselfs

"However, there is certainly an issue with the older grades" << you answered your own question..

SFL are weak they are allowing EFC to keep there u/13s down in the MSJFL
The MSJFL are weak for for allowing the EFC in 2 leagues
The MSJFL had a meeting on Wednesday night to discuss the EFC future
before the meeting its believed Ben had agreed to the MSJFL propsal of there juniors staying in the MSJFL for 3 more years,if they did not agree to 3 years they would be kicked out of the MSJFL
But the EFC board said no F...ing way to the 3 years
The MSJFL sh.t themselves because they would lose to much revenue(so one more year is better than none)
Now Ben is crawling back to the club, the club he tried to WRECK
Because he knows he cannot WIN or also cant have his own club called BENSFOOTBALLCLUB

P!ss funny and also about the only informed and accurate comment on this thread

I Went to SFL Junior delegates meeting last monday and sat in and listen to what was going on and the topic came up about Townies Juniors. All Clubs were told that they are coming over in 2012 and the rest 2013 and what i stated in last comment. So i Heard it from Delegates and SFL
So that' how i know
Sorry "Bluedemon" That life ?

The MSJFL are as weak as the SFL letting them have teams in both leagues 2012

Are you a parrot?? You have repeated this 3 times mate we get your point as ill informed as it is.

Edwardstown is a founding member of the MSJFL and it is dissapointing that they have a very unprofessional management structure and a weak board. No one except a small few do anything there to run the club.
The Seniors have lost 40-50 players since joining the SFL and the trend continues day by day.
If they choose to go to the SFL with all the juniors they will be extinct within 5 years a tragic situation as they once were a proud club.
EFC is a debarcle with terrible management and no support from volunteers" TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT YOURSELVES EFC BEFORE YOU IMPLODE."

An interesting opinion Footballmad but opinions are like a@#holes....everyone has one. It's those that do something to act on theirs that matter.

Seems you know alot about the club and how it's running. Generally that kind of knowledge and comment comes from being involved or knowing others that are close. Clubs need people that recognise there are issues to man up and help out rather than bagging from the sidelines. Let's hope you get your information from others that are close to the club and not associated down there yourself without helping out.

I would rather it was 1 club

Edwardstown have Juniors from grasshoppers to U18's. Of course they need 2 leagues to be involved with. SFL starts at under 14's. Its all about the future senior feed. I feel a sense of jealousy here and at the end of the day they are no different from any other club who is striving to survive in a competetive marketplace. Remember it is not about the egos of footy club people it is about the KIDS. Focus on their welfare. And it's not Bens football club it's Johns.

Apologies if I intrude on your thread, but Sorry but you're wrong Yankman - SFL have U8s, U10s & U12's on Sunday mornings. Many clubs have 2 teams in each grade.

Well that puts a whole new light to it doesn't it. Then it is about time the SFL asked them where do they actually want to play. All in, As down, or goodbye. They would be competitive in Div 6.

If you were the man in the crows shirt as I told you at castle Plaza EFC u/14s fees are $110 I did not say u/16s were $110 also

[1919]

subs for SFL U14 and U16 as set by the board are $120 and calculated on costs associated with running junior teams in that league. Please stop posting incorrect information in public forums.

After talking to a MSJFL delegate he said it Seems a certain person cant let go of the EFC Juniors,the delegate said he was talking behind the back of the EFC and is working with the MSJFL to have his own junior football club 2013,and they are looking for an oval if the council wont give them use of Edwardstown oval.
he also said If the EFC does not real him in,the EFC wont have any juniors in the SFL 2013.
and will be interesting to see if the 3 new junior coaches 14s 16s 18s have any local product, as all parents have been brainwashed into not going to the SFL.
Interseting time at EFC

[Bluedemon]

Edwardstown are a foundation club of the Metro South. For the last few years they have talked about going as the a seperate club, I believe it will happen.

Baffon you did not tell the forum what position you like Ben(over)

Off-topic but what was the thought process in the MSJFL changing from U10/12/14/16 to U8/9/10/11/12/13/14/etc.?? It appears that the depth of the comp has turned to tripe since making the change and has created an ever bigger chasm between the strong and weak clubs. Baffling.

i thought it was a very poor decision to chang to that highlighted option... as you said, that depth is lost. and imo really doesnt develop the kids the way it should... i personally believe you need that gap for the junior grades.
