Preview - Strathmore Community Bank Premier Division By TOBIE CHAPMAN After Keilor and Strathmore kicked off with a Good Friday Special two weeks ago, it’s finally time for the official start to the Strathmore Community Bank Premier Division season. Aberfeldie start out the season as favourites, but it won’t be easy to repeat their dream 2015 with some impressive signings for their competition. Avondale Heights v Keilor Keilor are coming off a gutsy win against Strathmore, and the week off will have been appreciated by Mick McGuane’s team. Avondale Heights have a new coach in the form of Daniel Archer and have experienced a fair turnover since last season and are no certainty to make finals, so a positive start to the season could be vital. This clash is made even more meaningful as a result of Michael Tanner, Luke Cartelli and Dean Galea all leaving Avondale to line up for Keilor over the break. Cartelli played a major role in helping Keilor win first up, while Galea showed how dangerous he is around the goals and Avondale will almost certainly be worse off for their departures. Keilor will be keen to follow up with another win and send a message to Aberfeldie early on in the season. Keilor won both games against Avondale last season and expect them to put in a good showing again. Aberfeldie v Maribyrnong Park Reigning premiers Aberfeldie kick off their season at home against a Maribyrnong Park now featuring former Geelong midfielder Joel Corey. Aberfeldie have lost star ruckman Angus Graham, but have kept their midfield core while adding former North Melbourne ruckman Ben Mabon, who has spent the last two years in the SANFL. They’ve also added VFL experience in the form of Angus Grigg, who spent time at North Ballarat, and the returning Sam Cattapan, who placed third in the Northern Blues’ Best & Fairest in 2014. Maribyrnong Park are an improved side from last year, but it’s tough to see them challenging Aberfeldie first up. With the addition of Corey and Port Melbourne Colts boys Nick and Chris Prowse, they may be a sneaky chance, but Abers are a terrific football side. Airport West v West Coburg Both these sides had difficult seasons last year, winning three and four games respectively. Airport West have brought in Damien Cupido as coach, but will likely spend the season battling relegation. Similarly, so will West Coburg in their second season in the Premier Division. They’ve got a number of new recruits in and will be hoping for improvement on their four wins but it won’t be an easy task. This should be a tight battle though, two sides that are in similar positions. Airport West had the edge late in the season with a win at home despite inaccurate kicking, but West Coburg won early on in 2015. Hansen Reserve may prove to be the difference this week, but expect a hard-fought match. Strathmore v Essendon Doutta Stars It’s not an easy assignment up first for Dean Wallis and the newly promoted Stars but it’s a challenge they should relish. Strathmore were somewhat disappointing against Keilor, but with some big ins it may take a little time for it all to come together. Hamish McIntosh started slowly last week but soon found his feet against strong competition and should play a key role this week. The Stars have some handy additions who could make immediate impact in former AFL players Cleve Hughes and Darren Pfeiffer, but it’s never easy to predict the fortunes of a newly-promoted side. Wallis and co. will be looking for at least a full-hearted effort and competitiveness early on, but if Strathmore are to challenge this year these are the games they need to really assert themselves in. Pascoe Vale v Greenvale (Live from 2pm on 98.9 North West FM & EDFL Team App) These sides finished third and second in the regular season last year, before Pascoe Vale were beaten in the Semi-Final by Keilor, while Greenvale were comfortably beaten twice by Aberfeldie in the finals. Greenvale in particular will be looking to come out firing, a Grand Final loss fresh in their minds and they’ve retained most of that side, with a few handy inclusions. Pascoe Vale haven’t been as lucky over the offseason, with a number of departures outweighing their inclusions, but on the positive side they’ve retained all of last years’ big recruits. Pascoe Vale are at home, but on paper Greenvale have the stronger side and should be a step ahead this season.
