#EDFL2020


2019 RECAP

Last season was never about wins and losses for Keilor Park, as the club looked to re-establish itself after sitting out of the 2018 season.

The Devils ended up going 0-15 and lost all but two games by more than 100 points.

Their best result of the year came in Round 17, where Keilor Park booted six goals in the second half in a 78-point loss against the Northern Saints.

EDFL MEDIA SAYS

Expect Keilor Park's line-up to potentially feature up to 18 new faces come Round 1.

The Devils have done an outstanding job in attracting new players to the club over the summer and look set to field three open-age men's sides this year.

Given its significantly better depth, headlined by the arrivals of defender Adam Harris, on-baller Shaun Ujcich and not-yet-cleared key position star Daylan Kemspter, expect Keilor Park to start racking up wins and, with a bit of luck, maybe even push for a surprise finals berth... however unlikely that might currently seem.
