    Did somebody say "junket to Adelaide at the clubs' expense"?

    VAFA General Discussion

    Where I am in Perth, there are about six clubs in close proximity. One club started off with no fees for colts (under 20) and then they all followed suit soon after. In recent years, one club that regularly struggled for numbers went down the track of no fees and free gear but most clubs have...

    Does she reckon he has "cocky knackers"?

    Goulburn Valley FL 2026

    The current state of the GVL admin, combined with the fact that the Bendigo league has made sweeping changes at board level and look to have solidified a sinking ship would be equal contributors.

    Might need to flog off another sports team (if they own any still).

    With the absence of a few from the new board, I'd expect they'd be given their exit ticket at the end of the year - especially if a replacement becomes apparent - given the fact that the league's eyes are seemingly focused on clubs to the north.

    NOW to sometime later in the year (maybe) - Talk about anything

    Can't see it working in the VAFA though. Some of their clubs would rather have three Under 19 teams than give a smaller club nearby a single player to help them out.

    The natural assumption is that they would pick the best 35 as you want to have the best playing list possible at your disposal.

    Revamp for National Cup

    Unfortunately, even a return to the old Champions of Australia series format in the 1960s and 1970s would not help bring back the Foxtel Cup competition. The CoA series involved the VFL, SANFL and WANFL premiers as well as the winner of the Tasmanian state premiership in the first weekend in...

    New Leagues for North-East Victoria?

    They were slightly wrong LOL

    Looks like the league is making some positive strides. Some new blood to provide new ideas. Great to see the clubs supporting the need for change.

    Bunk Moreland posted this on the Eastern FNL board today. Interesting reading. Langwarrin has earned praise for becoming the first MPFNL club to implement the new under-19s player cap for 2026, setting a positive example for the competition. The Mornington Peninsula Football Netball League...

    I could see it as an issue if a football club connected to a university was seen to be paying players. Out would come allegations of taxpayer money being used to pay for footballers, etc.

    I think the clubs contemplating an exit are more likely to be heading to Eastern or Southern. I doubt we'd see any of Brunswick, Fitzroy, Parkside, LaTrobe Uni, North Brunswick, Old Ivanhoe, Preston Bullants and West Brunswick cross over any time soon. All seem happy with their lot at present.

    ... but will likely only give the club one week's notice when the demolition date is locked in.
