2024 VFL Season

Great win from Frankston in Sydneys West after last week.
Not pretty, but a huge morale boost. Well done to them

Didn't see much of the game since we were at Pearcedale for the women's matches, but I'm rapt to have a win on the road. Ugly at times apparently but they found a way. Pretty sure that's our first interstate win since the northern clubs joined the VFL.

Both our women's sides won as well making it three wins in one day.

Are the Borough bandwagon back up and about after the win last night?

Are finals a chance again after two not so convincing consecutive wins over the two battling stand alones?

Always a chance we are just a game out from finals however i feel that we didnt capitalise enough on our early favourable draw to put us in a strong finals position. We probably wanted to be 5 from 7.

It does feel that the side is starting to work alot better together with more cohesiveness and the break is very timely before playing Footscray. If we can win at least 4 of the next 6 i think that we will go on to play finals. Unfortunately i cant see that happening, we are good and on the improve but i think even the most optimistic Port fans wouldn't be betting on finals, having said that - this is Port Melbourne were talking about... never say never.

Demons, Blues and Suns losses hurt. Port were the better team for most of the day in all 3 but let lapses kill them, especially the end of those. Coming up

• Footscray will be very tough but the bye will really help
• Williamstown game will be massive.. are they are struggling against a 1-4 Bombers atm but are a strong side
• GWS are beatable clearly
• Richmond, Geelong and Box Hill will also be tough

Well played to the Bullants also. Had a feeling they could be a sniff today with the team changes the Pies had

lol Collingwood were up by 23 points at 3 quarter time and still lost to the Bullants..... after losing to Coburg a few weeks back.

Please revoke their VFL licence

What did the VAFA do to have Collingwood inflicted upon them?

If we beat Footscray we will play finals but for that to happen each one of our players will need to be switched on and at their best. Has to be no tourists wearing the Port jumper that day.

Saw the last quarter of Williamstown and boy they are good and very dangerous in attack.

Agreed, Collingwood should go

I smashed out 2 games today. Last QTR at Arden St was a cracker, then I drove to Preston and watched the 2nd half, unbelievable comeback from the Bullants. They kicked the last 5 goals and completely bossed Collingwood in the last 20 mins.

They could be called Old Collingwood and pay whoever they want !

I was at punt road oval. It was a long game but a good game of footy, undermanned tigers put it t9 Footscray all day but in the end the doggies classed prevailed to win by 31 points.

Footscray 17-14(116) def Richmond 13-7(85)

My tip for another VFL flag

 

[bedford]

Sandy , pathetic wearing Saints jumpers , surely have a clash strip , but that's probably deserved getting in bed with them and a dud coach

Everything has gone downhill for Sandy results wise since 2016 after both backflipped on Saints making their own VFL team and Sandy had planned to go stand alone

Can someone clarify for me who pays for the clubs to play interstate?
Is it funded by the AFL? The VFL? AFL Victoria? AFLQ? AFL NSW-ACT?

It's a question I have never asked out aloud before but should have by now.

The AFL reportedly were responsible for those costs when the new competition was announced in late 2020. Correct me if I'm wrong.

AFL pay for a certain amount of players, staff to go interstate

From what I've heard at my club, the AFL pays for interstate travel directly.

Dumb time when the AFL team is on at the same time in Sydney

The AFL team take that into little consideration. Its most likely the Swans request so they go with that.

Good chance for Frankston to get up. I doubt any of the Swans AFL listed players would want to be down by Frankston on a cold Friday night while their teammates stay in Sydney.
