    SEASON 2024

    Wesburn, the town/locality, used to be known as West Warburton originally prior to 1925. They had a team in 1907 and again in 1923 playing as West Warburton and in 1925 played as Wesburn. This was in the Upper Yarra Football Association and on each occasion they finished last. This was also long...

    Player Watch 2023 AFL Draft Pool Discussion Thread

    I remember getting Inside Football after the 2004 draft and Richmond got an A+ (or close to it) for drafting 5 players in the top 20....1 - Brett Deledio, 4 - Richard Tambling, 12 - Danny Meyer, 16 - Adam Pattison, 20 - Dean Polo. It's all subjective.

    Player Watch 2023 AFL Draft Pool Discussion Thread

    Wasn't sure which way we would lean with Curtin, Watson or anyone else (and still don't), but after signing two small forwards in the trade period with Ginnivan and D'ambrosio I think it less likely that you would draft another on top of that. Breust and Wingard still to fill that role in short...

    List Mgmt. Hawk's List Management 2023

    Read somewhere that you can only take as many picks to the draft as you have spaces on your list (hence 61 given to Essendon for D'Ambrosio as it could not be used). If that is right, with 4, 44, 47 and 49 we would have to make a spot available so that we don't lose 49 (Kosi trade) if we...

    Ultimate Glory 2023 Trade speculation and Shinbeggars discussion

    There's quite a few on here who claim to be ITK. Often spout theories that rarely eventuate unless blatantly obvious and have a strike rate less than a blindfolded dart thrower. There is no way the club would genuinely have an insider spurt out all their trade plans on a forum like this or pass...

    SEASON 2023

    The league have already announced at presentation night that they are going to 2 divisions but I happened to read a newsletter from another club which mentioned that they will likely have 12 clubs in Premier Div with Emerald the automatic promotion as premier along with Officer and Berwick...

    SEASON 2023

    Let them have it. With the League's ridiculous 8 pages of demands for hosting clubs you are lucky if you can break even, let alone find enough volunteers for the day. There's no way my club will put in for hosting and I have heard similar from others. It might be OK if you get a Grand Final but...

    Belgrave History

    I am not involved with Belgrave but I did show them the medal about 6-7 years ago and they paid me the same amount as I had paid for it originally and the medal is now in the Belgrave FC display cabinet.

    Analysis Hawthorn rebuild: are they tanking?

    This is aging as well as milk being left in the hot sun. It brightens my day that a West Coast supporter of all clubs should make it as well. I would have thought deliberately playing a WAFL team in the AFL might come under greater scrutiny, especially with a coach who couldn't care less what...

    Unlikely. Carlton's Cripps lawyer was busy with the McKay case and is now recovering on the golf course. Mike Fitzpatrick even packed his lunch for him, at least that is what I think was in his brown paper bag. Damian Barrett will say Hawthorn players get suspended deliberately as another form...

    You'd like to think so but as there is no evidence I would love to know what the club actually know to link the two clubs.

    Toast Celebrating 150 years

    I really do hope you are 150 years and love that you beat Essendon for your celebrations. I wouldn't want to poo on anything, just curious as to where the information comes from that links two separate clubs together.

    Toast Celebrating 150 years

    There was nothing reported that anything from the 1873-1880 club was ever transferred to any other club. It might happen these days but was very rare in the 1800s. The St. Kilda FC AGMs, when mentioned by number sequence, have some of the following recorded: Prahran Telegraph 10/4/1897 -...

    Toast Celebrating 150 years

    A St. Kilda club was formed out of South Yarra in 1873 and merged with University in 1875 but disbanded in 1880. (Prahran Telegraph July 24 1880) The club that formed from the St. Kilda Alma in 1885 was a different club (The Age and The Argus March 16 1885). They merged with Prahran in 1888...

    Toast Celebrating 150 years

    It's interesting to note that the St. Kilda club that formed in 1873 actually disbanded in 1880 and did not continue in any form. The St. Kilda Alma FC wanted to become a senior club in 1885 and changed their name to St. Kilda. St. Kilda Alma had existed as a junior club at the same time as the...

    SEASON 2023

    New netball fixture is out for Premier. Woori are not in it and Beaconsfield have returned after being dropped to D1 originally in an exchange with Berwick. Last year Woori only had 2 sides in netball and teamed up with Healesville who also only had 2 sides.

    SEASON 2023

    The problem is that the valley doesn't have more kids, this only suits the SE growth corridor. Big clubs like Wandin and Woori couldn't even field U19s last year and Olinda only had about 14 or so players most weeks - those three clubs were the top senior clubs behind Narre. It is causing issues...

    SEASON 2023

    This is very concerning if it does eventuate. If clubs can't play a full roster of matches - 3rds, Ressies and Seniors along with netball - then how are canteens and bars going to operate if people won't stay a full day as there is only one or maybe two matches on. That then impacts the...

    SEASON 2023

    I wouldn't have thought that old Yarra Valley or Mountain District clubs in OE are considering joining Eastern due to the netball component, which Eastern don't have as a Saturday event at the same venue. It is a big part for most of those clubs now.

    SEASON 2023

    I think there are still a few issues to sort just for the Senior football fixture in Div 2 such as the Kinglake transfer to Northern status, whether Yea and Broadford will field teams and if Yarra Glen drop back to fill any possible void. Then you get to Women's footy, Under 19s, Veterans and...

    Unofficial Preview Round 1, 2023: Hawthorn v Essendon, MCG 3.20pm March 19th

    I would be wrapped if we actually had this draw. That way I get to watch my local club on a Saturday afternoon and then the Hawks on the Sunday, maybe a couple of double headers with Box Hill at City Oval before going to the G. Not sure why people hate this as either the 1pm or 3.20pm Sunday...

    2022 Hawthorn List Management Discussion (including Trade, FA period)

    We passed on two selections so think there are two spots there. Imagine Newk gets upgraded and possibly one of Blanck or Bramble. 1 rookie and leave one open for mid season looks likely and invite a few that missed out to play at Box Hill.

    News We’re going to Dingleyland! Construction to begin.

    I'm sure this has been answered but the plan/image for Dingley released by the club looks very green. How many car park spots are there as it is a fair way from the train station? If it is the future home of our AFLW team how are fans going to go there and how many can do it?
