    Last weekend shows that Coburg are a more capable side than their record suggests. They can't afford many mistakes from here if they want to be in the top 10 mix, but they're not out of contention yet. Frankston also can't afford too many missteps. We don't have an easier draw like last year...

    Looks like the folks running the VFAFOOTY channel on Youtube have uncovered some more old VFA footage. Round 14 1981 - Frankston vs Dandenong: Round 4 1991 - Werribee vs Frankston (played at North Port Oval for some reason): Round 14 1991 - Springvale vs Williamstown: Round 14 1992 -...

    Multiplat AFL 26 - Releasing May 8th

    Anyone know if they plan to update state league playing lists for this year?

    We still need to get the PA system redone, Robbo. We actually paused selling records to observe the ceremony and from our spot you couldn't hear a word of it. I could barely make out the Last Post and the national anthem. I also think it'd be good to incorporate the New Zealand anthem like the...

    Wondered who he replaced last night. But yes I agree, no idea why he was dropped in the first place. While it could have been a more convincing win, it was a great response after two awful games. Cotter looks like he's finding his feet after some not great form early in the season, and Oscar...

    From the sound of it this sounds less like a shakeup of the current structure and more of a return to the old policy of AFL clubs having to pay a licence fee if they opt to field a standalone reserves team instead of affiliating. To my knowledge none of the unaffilated clubs had to pay a fee at...

    Sounds extremely unlikely that the AFL clubs would agree to pay a licence fee to fund standalone clubs, although it's not as if it would dent their finances much. Assuming you have 10 Victorian AFL reserves teams (either standalone reserves or affiliations) then Tasmania, and then finally the...

    Source on this? If true this is going to put a majority of Vic standalones in a terrible position.

    I personally think the real damage was done when the AFL was created out of the VFL's expansion rather than being created from scratch. If you look at our other national competitions such as the BBL, A-League, AIHL and the NBL, you'll see that they generally comprise 10-14 teams, with only 2-3...

    Having spoken to a few of the current board members, there is a lot of confidence that those funds will be recoverable. I've also been told that the missing sum doesn't amount to much. It's worth mentioning that we did make a profit last season and our home crowds so far have been fairly...

    This season has become a concern for Frankston. While we managed to avoid getting blown out and kept the margin to five goals or less, we couldn't string any good form together yesterday save for a few minutes at a time and the result felt quite inevitable. It's clear that the departure of...

    Lot of pressure on Frankston today. We're 1-2 with a tough draw this year and Werribee has been a difficult place for us for years now. We need to at least put in a competitive effort today.

    TV ratings have probably been shithouse because it's two second-tier rep teams playing when there are AFL games on the same day. So none of the networks think it's worth broadcasting.

    VFL 2026

    ABC's coverage is definitely a work in progress. Lots of gaffs between quarters with conversations being caught on live mics and periods where either the audio or video feed will cut out while the other stays. It's nothing appalling and I find these errors to be funny more than anything, but...

    Frankston were absolutely embarassing today. If this is where our team is at then finals is off the table for us.

    Flipping off opposition supporters is nowhere near the same level as throwing a beer can at someone. Even if this coach acted first, the response is overblown and not appropriate. Does everyone on the hill deserve to cop blame for it? No, but if anything like this happens again the club is going...

    I wasn't a direct witness either. We normally sit in the pocket near Gate 3 and only saw someone having words with one of the Williamstown staff after the game. I can't read the article since it's paywalled, but whether it was one can of three or whether it was a regular supporter or not, this...

    I have only heard secondhand accounts of this and didn't witness it myself, but yeah I've heard a few accounts of a can being thrown. Not on by our supporters and it's about time someone put the foot down and told the loudmouths on the hill to pull themselves in line. They've given our club a...

    Pretty much this. We had several chances to ice that game and couldn't execute in the critical moments. Not to mention the atrocious first quarter.

    Probably just a leftover from last night. We got in free. There was a security guard checking bags but that was it.

    VFL 2026

    Can't lie, tonight stings like hell. Had the game in our hands and blew it in the last quarter. I'm glad we took it to them, but I'm personally over having teams that we just don't win against. Williamstown, Werribee, Box Hill, Southport, and arguably Footscray now have become bogey teams who we...

    VFL 2026

    From my understanding we absolutely do look to the local comp when recruiting, but now that we're a team that's consistently in finals contention we need to also be looking at established, VFL-ready players who can impact for us straight away. Don't get me wrong, we have gained some great...

    For us it'll be that we play most of our home games on either Friday or Saturday night, as Robbo mentioned. Although I don't get why they couldn't have covered the Southport game if we're going to be stuck playing in such a shitty timeslot. It's a tradeoff that I'll accept. As much as I'd like...

    Question is how do they get rid of more standalones? If they could simply terminate our licences with no consequence they probably would have done it by now, and they would have booted Preston a lot sooner. Obviously there are conditions that would have to be met if the AFL decided to kick a...

    VFL 2026

    Not that I'm not concerned about the future of our competition, but I don't see any real answer to the logistical challenges that currently prevent a standalone reserves league. The AFL clearly doesn't want the cost of a national reserves league and flying two sets of teams all across the...

    I don't record stats, no. I mainly film for the women's team and just record segments of men's games as a hobby. I only did the full game last weekend because I knew it wasn't going to be uploaded everywhere else (whoever was filming from the roof was doing it just for the team's match review, I...

    I was able to film Saturday's practice game against Sandringham for anyone who wants a look.

    I doubt they'll be that good either, although I hope they can be reasonably competitive because that's important in attracting supporters. What will ultimately decide their fate is whether locals get back on board with the club.

    Sandy win with a kick after the siren today. A poor last-quarter fadeout from Frankston. To make matters worse, Kobe Askew left the ground early and looks to be another addition to our injury list (I was also told today that Nick Burke will be out for the season with an ACL injury.) Obviously...

    I've never heard a single bad word about hom from anyone. And having met him a fair few times around the club, can confirm he's a good guy. And of course his coaching record speaka for itself. He took us from the bottom four to a finals berth with a list that everyone thought would perform worse...
