No one seems to post much on here about their club , so just saying we have a few out. I would think Rovers are miles ahead at this stage and hoping we get a full list to challenge for promotion. Oakleigh came at us hard yesterday by playing direct footy in the rain. They have great new social facilities with $5 schooners of Carlton on tap. Once again a tough game between to local clubs.
Don't think I can recall any team having a percentage of 427 at this time of the season like what the Rovers have now. In fact, they have won the previous 3 games by 100+ points.

Mr Cave, it is a huge percentage. You are flying.
The relegation and promotion system is an absolute ripper. I couldn’t love it more. In the case of the Rovers, a little like Uni Blacks and Fitzroy also this year, a team drops down for a variaty of reasons. Sometimes just luck and injuries play a major part. But these teams are afforded the great opportunity to regroup in a lower grade and bounce right back up if they can keep their team together and if so they are more than likely to prosper. Rovers are looking great. Well done to you and all the hard workers there.

A few of the grades are very lopsided at the moment and that’s not good for the VAFA.

Even more so when you consider that is one of the main edges the VAFA has over other leagues
It will correct itself within a year. It always does. Strugglers will go down and find their feet again. Likewise Rockstars will go up and be tested far more.

Same as some posters just come and go.
Correct Mr Bedford. The merry go round of life.

Therry could have up to seven players out this week , two to suspension and injuries. Rioli said they have massive depth. They have Hampton, Prahran and Ormond the next three.

Their twos appeared to be fairly strong but looked as though they had quite a few older players. Will be interesting. Injury bug seems to be worse than normal. We had 8 changes from the Therry game to the Preston game, all injuries. Compounded by already having probably 8 or more blokes out. We've used 39 players already.
On the discussion above about huge margins, I understand but I feel like that's common in at least a handful of VAFA grades every year. There's always one or two dominant sides and/or one or two sides well off the pace. Lets wait another 5 weeks when everyone has played each other once to see where everything is at. My guess is that Hampton and Ormond won't be miles ahead of everyone, there'll be a log jam from 3-8, but Brunswick and Ivanhoe likely to still be struggling. Again, we will wait and see.
Tips:
Hampton
Ormond
Kew
Prahran
Preston

It’s usually worst 6 on ground named in the best I reckon. Throws the opposition off the scent. Great tactic.

Still hearing stories about Therry and snipers. We never had an issue last year.
Same tips here
Definitely there is merit to what you are saying, but if the same players were getting in the best each week (which they are) but in fact were the worst, wouldn't they get dropped eventually?

Therry are fine. Zero to worry about re them being snipers.

I can’t see Oakleigh dropping this one from here.....

We had a similar thing with our live scores today - had Wyndham Suns winning by over 1100 points. Maybe it wasn't our data entry people after all!

Who are Wyndham Suns?
Great win by the Rovers against Therry Penola in wet conditions out at Boss James Reserve today.
The Rovers were down to one rotation on the bench and were a point up at 3/4 time, yet they were able to beat the Lions by 22 points and be 6-0 by the end of the day. If Hampton Rovers and Ormond continue their winning streak by the time they meet in Round 9, surely the VAFA might move the starting time of the match at Boss James from the traditional 2pm to 3:30-4pm to be staged as a twilight match?
