Berwick’s first season in the Eastern Football League Premier Division has generated plenty of talk, and for good reason.
The Wickers are 3-6 and sit seventh on the table under coach Clint Evans in what has largely been a promising first season in one of Victorian footballs most respected community leagues, and being one of the south-east’s biggest powerhouses, there was bound to be plenty of chatter about whether they had the cattle to mix it with some of the best.
With another lockdown, and community sport on hold, we’ve decided to take a look at the Wickers from a statistical perspective, courtesy of PremierData..
