Strange that Windy Hill was allegedly being redeveloped from June but hosted the EDFL finals.

Can do without those two, and aren't St. Kilda now split with Sandy? Wouldn't that leave them at Moorabin?

Yeah, Sandy/St.Kilda have split. I don't really care, I just want more games in the SE/Eastern 'burbs

Would love to go to Moorabin next year.

So St Kilda are having their own VFL team next year?

Yes, replacing Bendigo

Indeed. Nothing had been done to it when I was last there a couple of weeks ago. I actually think it had more to do with the centre wicket for the cricket. The centre square was looked after differently after about July. They kept the grass longer etc.

Couple of left field appointments

Justin Plapp has taken over the reigns at Casey Scorpions for 2 seasons and former Box Hill Hawks assistant coach Paul Hill takes over the reigns of Peninsula gun Simon Goosey for 2015.

 

[eth-dog]

So where should we send Goosey to next for scouting? Sandringham?

I had not heard this. Source?

Still just one game per week or expanded?

Actually, found this: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-10-20/tv-boost-for-state-leagues

* off. The only positive I can see is that they may broadcast a game on Sunday as well.

Only if it's a money spinner.

Which is why it surprises me that Seven would touch VFL at all.

Don't need to spend much money on it though.

Correct, but potential for tangible profits generally far outweighs the need to not spend much.

I can see your point. Although as long as it's live and has Phil Cleary I won't complain.

As long as it doesn't have that red neck David Rhys-Jones I'll be happy.

When is the VFL fixture released, Jack Package?

 

[Zach Package]

When is the VFL fixture released, Jack Package?

be stuffed if I know.

It's obviously got a fair bit to do with the AFL fixture so i'd guess it'll be out in the coming weeks

 

[yaco55]

Its usually out the first or second week of December.

So, Yoda_, who's the second VFL team in the Foxtel Cup since Footscray is ineligible? Williamstown? By my reckoning, the teams should be:

Box Hill
Williamstown
Norwood
South Adelaide*
East Perth+
Subiaco
Aspley
North Launceston

*If the Magpies count as a stand alone side
+If East Perth are the same as Box Hill, being the Eagles reserves, if not, East Fremantle
