VFL 2018 VFL Fixture

[jackcass]

Great news. Watching the VFL team play at Vic Park and then hopping on the train and heading to the G is one of life's great pleasures

Agree, only negative is the senior player held over as a senior emergency.

Indeed. And even then, it's not uncommon for that player to play the first half in the seconds before being held over anyway.

Alas, though, none shall ever be as tough as the great Tony Armstrong. 8 quarters in a day running on one peanut butter sandwich...

Dam no Away Game at Frankston

and More Games at Eddieland then at Vic Park

Yeah I'm suprised , as a fellow frankston boy would have loved a local game
Would have

Terrible fixture ripped off a home game and just 4 games at Vic Park with one in round 3 and the others penciled in for rounds 19, 20 and 21. I use the term penciled in as those games late in the year are traditionally the ones often transferred to Olympic Park.

Makes me glad I upgraded to social club access though, at least I'll have access to some shelter/elevation at our training ground.

Olympic park facilities are a disgrace
Won't be going till some shelters put in

Without dissecting the entire comp in detail, at first glance North Melbourne only get 8 home games this year, with the bulk of them to be played at Chirnside Park Oval in Werribee (Arden Street strangely not being used or able to be used at this time). Geelong get 8 games at Kardinia Park, but also get home team rights to their season opener at Torquay, where they have played annually for the last half a dozen years or so. So, technically, they get the full 9. Casey, Sandringham and Box Hill, AFL reserves teams in all bar name, also get the full 9 on their decks.

According to the release on the VFL's website, the VFL stand-alone teams are getting 10 home games each this year, in order to give them a leg up with attendances, gate takings and memberships. Okay, but that logic falls apart when you use up one of Frankston's home games on North Melbourne instead of Collingwood (our trips to Frankston, in my experience, are always packed affairs, which would make for quite the earner). Bending the rules for the perennially struggling Frankston and Coburg is one thing, but when perpetually strong teams like Willy and the reigning premiers Port Melbourne are getting an extra home game at their difficult to play on grounds, that crosses the line from well-intentioned welfare to substantively impacting the integrity of the competition...

And if a competition is lacking integrity , it becomes an event
Another example of AFL 101
Biased , untrustworthy , illogical
But at least their consistent
We get SCREWED all the time
It's OUR HISTORY

Umpires would consider it just a little less dodgy now.

We have another fixture change incoming...

Following an inspection of the ground by AFL Victoria earlier today, the decision has been made to relocate our Round 1 game against Richmond to Punt Road Oval, Richmond; and our Round 2 game against Collingwood (updated venue to be determined and communicated in due course).

So Trains going to Preston on the Weekend?

Yes, it’s only the Hurstbridge line running buses from Clifton Hill not the South Morang line. You’ll be ok to get a train to Preston.

Why did the wait to VFL Season to Start to do work at VIC PARK instead of During the Summer?

 

[MagpieBat]

In addition, there has subsequently been a ‘reversal’ of the venue for the return game against Collingwood later in the year.


Initially set to be held on Sunday, August 12th (Round 19) at Victoria Park at 1:00pm, that game will now take place on Saturday, August 11th at North Port Oval at 2:00pm.

At Vic Park train station, no resurfacing works taking place today. In fact it looks pretty good.
