2nds 2025 VFL thread

Couldn’t agree more.
But what affect would that have on the old NEAFL clubs?

Not much. The only non-AFL former NEAFL club in the VFL is Southport. It would be up to the new VFA/VFL as to whether they admit the Sharks, and if the costs outweigh the benefits they might have to return to the QAFL. Which would be a shame for them but I doubt there'd be an alternative.

National reserves comp, yes please. Best for the AFL clubs, best for the VFL clubs and best for fans. Just align the AFL and reserves fixtures as closely as possible and you're set.

My old man reckons Preston had one of the best full forward going around in any league across the nation in mid to late 80's, a larrikin named Jamie Shaw who also played one game for Fitzroy and on debut kicked 5 but just wasn't committed enough to play longterm in the VFL even though he was clearly good enough. My old man is known to exaggerrate when talking footy lol

Also an entertaining barman........larger than life.

Something to keep an eye on: with the prolonged conclusion to the AFL season, how long will it take for the VFL (sic) to release next week’s finals fixtures?

It is in two weeks' time so i don't think it needs to be rushed.

Having said that i would expect the 1st week finals venues and times announced not very long after we knock off the Hawks

It’s next week.

It’s next week.

Forgot thinking of AFL.
This week is the break in VFL except for the wildcard round

It would be nice to have uniformity in our code

I was actually at that game,Shaw did it so easily, kicked 5 without raising a sweat. You could see that he wasn’t really interested in playing at a high level and I think he went back to play at Preston the following week.

Who of the winners in the finals over the weekend do we play next week, Richmond or Williamstown?

I'm assuming it will be at BHA.

Richmond I think, since they're the higher placed team. Will be at BHA too

If we win against Richmond on Saturday we play the loser of Box Hill v Southport.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Reminder for those missing the AFL team playing, don't miss the Lions VFL vs Richmond at BHA @ 12.05 pm on Saturday.

McDonald stiff to be dropped. Reckon he’s done very well since he came into the side.

No Ty.

No Ty.

Resting him for Cats game you think.

Or want him rested as a option.

You'd assume hes in the 24 most likely to be selected for the QF

 

[BuntonRules]

Elementary, my dear Watson.

Howling wind blowing straight across the ground towards the outer side.

Goal kicking won't be easy then.

Just started watching the stream (wondering if there was pre match) and pretty sure we weren't supposed to be able to hear the commentators.. then there was a phone call and the last thing I heard was "pretty sure we didn't say anything defamatory..."
