ROUND 1 - Essendon District Football League

ENCOURAGE THE PLAYER SUPPORT THE GAME 

14/4/2012 

AT GROUND LEVEL . . 

with MARC TURRI - E.D.F.L. General Manager 

ROUND 1 

Round 1 

On behalf of the EDFL I welcome all players, officials and 

supporters to another season of EDFL football. 

It has been an exciting off-season for the EDFL with the 

addition of two new clubs to the competition. East Sunbury 

joins the EDFL from the neighbouring Riddell District Football 

League. Still in its infancy, East Sunbury will be fielding 

underage teams in the EDFL in season 2012 with a view to 

forming a senior division of their club in the coming seasons. 

The inclusion of East Sunbury allows the EDFL to establish 

itself within the Sunbury region whilst further cementing our 

foothold within the Hume City Council. Sunbury has grown by 

11,000 people in the past 10 years and is predicted to grow 

by a further 29,000 people over the next 20 years. 

Lead by President Peter Methven, the club has shown 

tremendous enthusiasm in making the switch to the EDFL 

and we welcome the people of East Sunbury to our proud 

competition. 

Burnside Heights are a new club playing its inaugural 

season of competitive football in 2012. The Burnside Heights 

Bears will field U10s and U12s in season 2012 and with 

the population growth in the eastern corridor of the Shire of 

Melton, the club is destined to grow rapidly as the population 

within the area continues to expand at a rapid rate. The 

area has seen the creation of new suburbs such as Hillside, 

Taylors Hill, Burnside and Caroline Springs and continues 

to grow. The club is ideally located with a great venue, an 

Auskick with strong numbers and a close working relationship 

with the neighbouring Kororoit Creek Primary School which 

continues to expand in student numbers. 

Justin Peagram has done a tremendous job of creating the 

club from the conceptualisation stage and it will be a proud 

moment for the club when they play their first competitive 

match for premiership points in round 1 of the junior division. 

The EDFL has also made a name change to the 

competitions. The Westpac A Grade competition will be 

known as the Westpac Premier Division, the B Grade 

will be known as Division 1 whilst a third tier of the senior 

competition will be introduced in 2012, to be known as 

Division 2 (commonly referred to over the preseason as C 

Grade). 

Supporters will notice that only the first 13 rounds of the 

Division 1 competition have been fixtured. At the end of 

13 rounds, the teams that finish in the top 8 will remain in 

Division 1, whilst the teams that finish in the bottom six will 

form the inaugural Division 2 competition. 

The EDFL’s live Match of the Day Broadcast continues in 

2012. Tune into 98.9 North West FM from 2.00pm every 

Saturday for the live broadcast. The Round 1 broadcast 

match will be the premiership flag unfurling for Strathmore 

against Aberfeldie. Teo Pellizzeri returns to anchor the 

broadcast and will be joined by experienced VFL caller Chris 

Weaver, with Alex Spangaro joining the team as Boundary 

Rider. 

Congratulations to Keilor and Strathmore on the success that 

was Good Friday. It is great to have clubs working together 

and there is no doubt that this initiative will be beneficial for 

these two clubs as the seasons progress. 

Finally, congratulations to all club officials who have worked 

tirelessly during the off-season to get their club ready for 

round 1. All clubs enter the new season with renewed vigour, 

enthusiasm and hope and I wish all Clubs, players and 

officials the best for the 2012 season.

WESTPAC PREMIER DIVISION PREVIEW 

with Cody Winnell - Leader Newspaper 

IT’S a great time of the year to be alive, ain’t it?The 

chill’s back in the air signalling footy season’s here 

again, and to blast out of the gates with a cliché: 

What a big pre-season it has been in football. 

Big-name recruits, retirements, ex-AFL champs 

signing up for cameo appearances in Division 1 only 

to be sacked before playing, and an actual gladiator 

signalling his return to the battlefield by the name of 

Kouta. Enter cliché two: “Wowee”. 

Essendon District Football League fans have 

questions aplenty: Can Strathmore rise again and 

capture its eighth A Grade (Premier Division) flag 

after last year’s resounding success? How much will 

ex-Essendon power forward Scott Lucas be missed 

down at Greenvale? Can Keilor, a perennial finalist for 

as long as one can remember, return to September 

action after a one-year hiatus? How will a hungry 

Pascoe Vale Panthers outfit fare in its return to A 

Grade? And with a top-four setup for finals, which are 

the very good sides that will end up missing out? 

While Round 1 will be run and won this Saturday, 

with five tantalising clashes on offer across A Grade, 

already we’ve seen a glimpse of what Strathmore has 

to offer in its back-to-back bid. 

The Mores comfortably accounted for Keilor in a 

Good Friday blockbuster last weekend by 44 points. 

This weekend, the Blues will be hoping to hit back 

when they travel to JP Fawkner Reserve this 

Saturday to take on the might of Oak Park. 

Elsewhere, Pascoe Vale will be on the road to 

Essendon Doutta Stars at Buckley Park, Greenvale 

will host Avondale Heights at Greenvale Reserve, 

Craigieburn will take on Maribyrnong Park at Highgate 

Recreation Reserve, and Strathmore and Aberfeldie 

will do battle at Lebanon Reserve. The first bounce 

for all games is 2.15pm.

THE WHISPER 

Steven Baker 

Xavier Clarke 

Daniel Harris 

Simon Wiggins 

It’s been a massive build up to season 2012 

with the inaugural Good Friday clash between 

Keilor and Strathmore already decided with 

Strathmore running out 42 point victors to 

kick off their premiership defence. A great 

initiative by both clubs and the league with 

a crowd of over 2000 people watching the 

action on a beautiful autumn day at Keilor with 

the ground in picture perfect condition. It also 

saw 15 year old Nick O’Kearney captain of 

the all conquering EDFL Under 14 Victorian 

Metropolitan Junior Championships side make 

his debut for Keilor in Friday’s game. 

Much of the talk in the off season has 

surrounded the introduction of a third tier of 

EDFL Footy which will be known as Division 2 

once Rd 14 Hits. So what does this mean for 

the EDFL structure? Following the Victorian 

Amateur Football League’s lead the EDFL has 

renamed A Grade as Premier Division, B Grade 

as Division 1 and Division 2 will be around once 

each Division 1 club plays each other once and 

then the bottom six clubs will break away to 

form this. 

As always the EDFL is set to deliver block 

buster games which put the league and it’s 

respective club in the spotlight and gives it the 

exposure it deserves. Such games include; 

Premiership flag unveilings; Strathmore versus 

Aberfeldie Rd 1 and Pascoe Vale versus Oak 

Park in Round 2 which marks the return of two 

Moreland Council heavyweights to Premier 

Division, ANZAC Day clash between Avondale 

Heights versus Aberfeldie and the Grand Final 

replay between Strathmore and Oak Park will 

also be one to watch. 

Throughout the season in both Premier Division 

and Division One supporters will have the 

chance to see some former AFL stars strut 

their stuff. Anthony Koutofidis headlines this 

act lining up with Moonee Valley in this rounds 

game against Keilor Park, Michael O’Loughlin 

will don the white V in the ANZAC day clash 

for Avondale Heights in a one off match for 

the former Sydney superstar, whilst Daniel 

Harris, Simon Wiggins, Darcy Daniher, Steven 

Baker and Xavier Clarke will join the already 

established former AFL players in the EDFL 

like Damien Peverille, Hayden Skipworth, 

Joel Reynolds, Lance Whitnall (now Glenroy 

formerly Craigieburn) and Barry Brooks just to 

name a few. 

The general feel amongst EDFL community 

is that Strathmore will be the ones to beat in 

2012 adding former Strathmore junior and 

SANFL star Andrew Horne and Collingwood 

and Northern Bullant Adam Iacobucci to their 

already impressive list. Aberfeldie are also the 

ones to watch adding former Bomber and Tiger 

Tom Hislop to it’s list and other former Bombers 

Courtney Johns and Darcy Daniher will be 

looking to overcome injury to have an impact 

at either end of the field for Abbers, with their 

need to make a mends for their sloppy second 

half of last season which cost them a top four 

spot. Greenvale and Maribyrnong Park will 

also be around the mark as per usual but one 

can’t help but feel that it may be a Strathmore, 

Abbers one, two come seasons end. 

In Division One, with the introduction of Division 

Two looming interest is ripe around who will 

go up and who will go down. Some Division 

One clubs are fixed on making sure they 

avoid the drop, which will be their number one 

priority for the majority of the season. Will this 

fear of falling mean that we will see improved 

performances across the board with life or 

death writing on every match? 

Lance Whitnall has joined Glenroy as their 

playing coach, which will cover the loss of 

Aaron Kite to Myrtleford, while Westmeadows 

have signed Balraj Singh a local footy goal 

kicking machine to their list, however either 

team will be hard pressed to compete with 

Airport West who with Adam Contessa as 

coach, Daniel Harris and Simon Wiggins on 

board enter 2012 as premiership favourites. 

One must not discount West Coburg and 

Taylors Lakes, both who will be wanting to 

make it back to Premier Division sooner rather 

than later. 

Looking forward to a wonderful 2012 season 

and providing you with plenty of whispering 

words. 




BURNSIDE Heights will also join the EDFL ranks in 2012 

starting their club and image from scratch 

Much like Roxburgh Park and Meadows Heights of many 

years back Burnside Heights will be a strictly junior club and 

start their process from scratch as opposed to East Sunbury. 

The EDFL's open offer for clubs to join its ranks may have 

attracted interest from the Sunbury region, but it was the 

Melton Shire that provided it’s first new arrival. 

The Bears have been busy with getting their Auskick and 

junior programs underway and aim to field three teams 

across under-10s and under-12s next year. The club 

hopes to grow into a senior outfit within a decade, aiming 

to build their junior culture before heading into the senior 

competitions. 

Both the EDFL and Western Region Football League 

were interested in the expansion club, but it was Burnside 

Heights that ultimately decided on its home after hearing 

presentations from both competitions. 

Burnside Heights president Justin Peagram said small 

differences between the EDFL and WRFL swayed the club. 

"The parents felt that a two-year age gap in juniors compared 

to one year was a preferred model," he said. 

"Things like [EDFL] licensing fees are also lower than the 

WRFL, so we had to look at it from a financial point of view. 

"The grading of the club was also an important issue. With 

eight divisions, there's that opportunity to be competitive with 

our teams." 

Peagram said being on the border of EDFL and WRFL 

territory, but surrounded principally by WRFL clubs, gave the 

opportunity to provide a point of difference. 

"We're confident in fielding under-10s and under-12s next 

year and maybe under-14s, which would be a bonus. 

"We're blessed with having one of the best grounds going 

around for juniors. Hillside (seniors) played there this year; 

interleague has played there. It's a good place for community 

sport and for building an identity." 

EDFL general manager Marc Turri was understandably rapt 

to have a new addition from an area his league considers to 

be a major population growth corridor. 

"We hoped the structures we've got for juniors would be seen 

in a positive light and I'm pleased (Burnside Heights) viewed 

it that way," Turri said. 

"With the growth that's happening in this particular area, it 

has the potential to become a powerful club." 

It remains to be seen how successful Burnside Heights will 

become however we must heap praise on the administrators 

and supporters down at Burnside for all the hard work they 

are putting in to get the club up on his feet and providing an 

opportunity for it’s kids to enjoy and prosper as footballers 

and people.

EAST SUNBURY 


THE Essendon District Football League 

has a new northern outpost with the 

recruitment of East Sunbury into its 

junior ranks for the coming season. 

Aspiring to field a senior team in the 

EDFL's third division by next year, 

the club, formerly known as Rolling 

Meadows, is the first Sunbury presence 

in the metropolitan competition. 

Rolling Meadows Football Club was 

established in 2000 after a number of successful years 

holding Auskick clinics at the Goonawarra Primary School. 

Rather than see players leave and try their luck at 

established clubs such as Rupertswood, Sunbury Lions or 

Sunbury Kangaroos, the administration decided to form a 

club. 

"We had a good nucleus of kids at that stage that all wanted 

to keep playing together," Abdilla said. 

"We came in at under-9s ... one of the biggest hurdles we 

had was finding a venue to be our home." 

Growth in the junior numbers peaked about three years ago, 

while the introduction of under-18s at the start of the 2010 

season did not lead to realistic prospects of Rolling Meadows 

fielding a senior side in the RDFL. 

Rolling Meadows took a vote on the club's future and had an 

88 per cent return on a move to the EDFL. 

East Sunbury will have juniors from under-10s up to under- 

18s in its first EDFL season. 

"There's certainly a few [ex-EDFL players] in the club who 

say there is a difference in the standard," Methven said. 

"But we've been fairly competitive in the second division in 

RDFL so we'll be all right in the third division of EDFL. 

"It's going to be one of those great unknowns." 

Abdilla said: "Based on what the EDFL has told us, we're 

best placed within that third division to be competitive." 

Gardener said he doubted the players would find the 

changes difficult to adjust to. 

"Travel-wise it's about the same. These are kids who just 

want to play the game and get out there and play. 

"Regardless of the opposition, I don't think there will be any 

problems adjusting to the new teams. 

"I did take the time to go and watch some EDFL juniors last 

season. They have some bigger and stronger boys playing 

and that might take some adjustment." 

Playing in the RDFL as the Rolling Meadows Thunder, the 

club will be known as East Sunbury in line with the cricket 

club that plays out of the same facility at Goonawarra. 

"We'd like to be known as being a competitive club, and a 

growing club. 

"We have to aspire to become a division 1 EDFL club." 

Methven said East Sunbury had every intention of fielding a 

senior side in the EDFL's third division by next year. 

"We've got the start of seniors with 15 players that go to 

open age next year. 

"We hope that the move to EDFL will attract players that 

want to play firsts footy. 

"The EDFL has given us an entry point to establish 

ourselves, and I'm fairly confident we can be competitive in 

that third division. 

East Sunbury's administration is optimistic about its longterm 

prospects as an EDFL club. 

"We've got that point of difference. If [Sunbury Lions juniors] 

had also come across to EDFL with us we wouldn't have had 

that," Methven said. 

"The population in our immediate area is set to explode and 

we're ready to tap into that." 

Obviously with already being an established club East 

Sunbury has the upper hand in an administration sense to 

Burnside Heights which will ultimately assist their ability to 

form into a senior club. 

We look forward to following the progress of these two new 

clubs as they take their first steps in the EDFL and onwards 

to greater success.

DIVISION 1 PREVIEW 

with Cody Winnell - Leader Newspaper 

THE battle for spots in the finals will be an exciting one in 

EDFL Division 1, but just as intriguing will be the desperate 

plight of clubs to avoid the dreaded drop zone. 

At the end of Round 13 the bottom six sides in the 14- 

team Division 1 competition will split to form a Division 2 

competition for the first time in league history. 

Should the ladder replicate the 2011 standings, Jacana, 

Roxburgh Park, Moonee Valley, Hillside, Hadfield and 

Glenroy would all become third-grade pioneers. 

But all clubs want to head the other way, up to Premier 

Division, and so footy fans won’t want to miss a second of 

Division 1 action this year. 

Moonee Valley has made headlines in the offseason after 

announcing it would shelve plans to have Jason Akermanis 

play a one-off game, replacing the outspoken ex-Brisbane 

Lions and Western Bulldogs champion with a Carlton Football 

Club hero in Anthony Koutoufides. 

Kouta will line up for the Valleys in their Round 1 clash with 

Keilor Park at Ormond Park this Saturday. 

But the Devils will hold no fear first-up, with a new-look side 

under a new coach in Rob McCluskey eager for early wins. 

The former Tasmanian State League, AFL Queensland, 

Western Region and Ballarat Football League coach knows 

his stuff and hinted pre-season that about 10 new players 

would run out in Round 1. 

Kouta will pull a crowd to Ormond Park, but speaking of ex- 

Blues, Lance Whitnall has taken over down at Glenroy. 

Whitnall, who will be a playing-coach this season, will lead 

his side into battle on the road to Airport West at Hansen 

Reserve first-up. 

But it won’t be easy. The Eagles have recruited boldly in the 

summer, with Daniel Harris, Adam Contessa, Clayton Rogers 

and Simon Wiggins all aboard. 

East Keilor under coach Steve Kolyniuk will hope to play 

finals again and will kick-start its season at home to Jacana. 

Reports suggest the Jaguars have had a strong off-season, 

but East will be favourites. 

Former Essendon gun Alan Ezard’s first game as coach of 

Hillside will be a twilight game at Hillside Reserve against 

Roxburgh Park. Hillside is favourite here. 

Elsewhere, Tullamarine will host Hadfield at Leo Dineen 

Reserve, Taylors Lakes will play host to West Coburg at 

Lionheart Reserve, and Westmeadows will tackle Northern 

Saints at Willowbrook Reserve.

FORMER PLAYERS DRAFTED TO AFL 

Brandon Ellis and Michael Talia are former EDFL junior players for their respective clubs and have both been a key part of the 

Calder Cannons program before being drafted. 

Brandon played his junior football with West Coburg and moved through the junior ranks before being picked up with Pick 15 

in the 2011 National Draft by the Richmond Football Club, making his debut in Round 1 of this season against Carlton in front 

of a blockbuster MCG crowd, slotting into their backline. 

Michael Talia has joined his older brother Daniel who is at Adelaide on an AFL after being drafted by the Western Bulldogs 

at Pick 39 and also joins the club where his grandfather Harvey Stevens played in the 1954 Premiership team. Michael was 

a Greenvale Football Club junior player and excelled at Assumption College in the football program there. Touted as a key 

position player, Talia looks like having a promising career as a bulldog. 

We congratulate both boys on their induction into the AFL and look forward to them progressing and representing the EDFL 

with distinction. 

“Congratulations to former EDFL players Brandon Ellis – West Coburg F.C 

and Michael Talia – Greenvale F.C on being drafted into the AFL” 


BRENDAN HOSKING - ONE TO WATCH 


The next time you roar ‘‘ball!’’ 

at the footy there’s a chance 

the man answering your pleas 

for a free kick will be Brendan 

Hosking. 

The 22-year-old former 

Essendon District Football 

League junior and umpire is on 

the verge of his AFL debut after 

earning a call-up to the national 

panel of AFL umpires. 

Hosking sat on the boundary 

for his third AFL game as an 

emergency umpire at the North 

Melbourne v-GWS Giants match in Tasmania on Sunday. 

After officiating in last year’s VFL grand final and a number 

of NAB Cup matches during the AFL pre-season, Hosking 

is eagerly anticipating his first assignment to be one of the 

three field umpires in a home and away game. 

Hosking’s fitness and running ability has put him on the fast 

track to taking control of AFL games. After three years in the 

VFL, his impressive training and 5000m times caught the eye 

of AFL umpires director Jeff Gieschen. 

The call-up to the highest level marks a steady rise for 

Hosking from boundary umpire in the EDFL in 2003, to field 

umpire in 2005, to the VFL development squad in 2009. 

Hosking started out as a footballer in under-10s at Taylors 

Lakes, playing and umpiring in tandem until he finished his 

under-16s top-age year at Keilor. 

‘‘I was a bit smaller than other guys and getting knocked 

around in under-16s,’’ Hosking said. 

‘‘I decided to concentrate on my umpiring rather than keep 

playing (under-18s) footy and get knocked out of every 

game. 

‘‘I love the game and miss playing it from time to time ... 

to still be a part of the game is really good and the highest 

level, it’s unreal.’’ 

Hosking won the 2008 golden whistle in the EDFL before 

being invited to the VFL development squad, going on to 

officiate a number of senior games through the 2009-11 

seasons. 

His first televised VFL game was a big landmark in realising 

what it would take to cut it at a higher level. 

‘‘I remember umpiring really poorly in my third senior VFL 

game. 

‘‘It was a TV game and it was a big eye opener that I had to 

step it up and be the best I can. 

‘‘I was still quite young and lacked a bit of confidence, but 

due to the coaching I got through the VFL with Kevin Mitchell 

and Adam Davis. Those two guys helped me with a lot of 

things.’’ 

A solid 2011 season with the whistle snowballed into a 

strong finals series showing for Hosking, almost catching 

him by surprise that he was in charge of the grand final. 

After running the 5000m time trial in 17:13, well inside the 

AFL umpire benchmark of 18:45, the ambition of joining AFL 

ranks became a reality. 

Hosking got his first crack at AFL level in the NAB Cup triseries 

between Geelong, St Kilda and Sydney and was also 

in charge of North Melbourne’s match against the Western 

Bulldogs. 

‘‘It was an absolute thrill to receive the call from Jeff 

(Gieschen) and Rowan (Sawers). 

‘‘(AFL) players are great players, but nothing changes; you 

just have to umpire as you see it.’’ 

Running and positioning remain the two big focuses for AFL 

umpires’ training, while Hosking is optimistic about his ability 

to handle the mental side of things. 

‘‘You have to be tough-skinned. My family and friends have 

been very supportive but after every decision, regardless 

of whether I’m umpiring or not, they’re coming to me for an 

explanation. 

‘‘In the two years I did on the VFL senior list I’d go to AFL 

games and observe umpires, because they’re miked up you 

can listen in, be able to look at the way they work together 

and communicate.’’ 

Hosking works as a strength and conditioning coach in 

Cairnlea fitness club Run With Me. 

He will wear the number 16 shirt this season, vacated by Jeff 

Dalgleish, who has taken the number seven that formerly 

belonged to umpiring games record holder Hayden Kennedy. 

Mathew Tomkins joins Hosking as a former EDFL umpire 

in the AFL this season. He was called up to the national 

boundary umpire pool, and was one of the four officiating 

in the round one match between North Melbourne and 

Essendon. Other EDFL umpiring graduates heading to VFL 

level this season are trio Tom Christie, Adam Havelburg and 

James Davey.
