couldn't agree more... so with the GF now just a formality time for the rumour mill to kick into overdrive... M. Voss now no longer contracted to Brisbane to head to Scotch for the same deal as S.Lawernce and F.Gerhig... OS for premiership next year...

aside from the grand final it was interesting to read in the herald sun that OE choked... again... will they ever make it to A grade? That said the VAFA's worst nightmare has come to fruition with both Uni sides in the same division... I wonder how they will tackle the same gurnsey issue... skins VS jumpers?
decaf latte drinkers vs. chai latte drinkers...
I would of thought Skinny vs Chai

easily. they have clash jumpers.
if htey don't want to wear those the away team can wear melbourne's uni games jumper, as happened in the 19'ss earlier in the year when blues played blacks

Will all the players the blues usually get because they are in A grade now go to blacks because they are in A now plus they have better social functions and are a better run unit?
What will come of all the Old Xavs playing for Blacks?
clash jumpers? na no way... it will definately be skinny vs chai... you don't know what your talking about..
Just a thought, but why don't Uni Blues wear a blue jumper with a black V and Uni Blacks opposite? Problem solved and no change of colours required.
clearly you lack the knowledge of when one is being sarcastical!
Clearly they are going to wear an away jumper. I just find extremely funny that the VAFA would approve two identocal jumpers (going back xx years)... the directors at the time must have been the same blokes who ran the mockery that is the DVFL (now NFL)
For someone that has no idea how the University teams are set up, how do students at the University choose between which team they play for??? Are students encouraged to join one over the other???

Cancelled
Uni Blacks and Uni Blues HATE each other with a passion. All at Blues have been dreading this day, as it dilutes the strength of their club. Ray Wilson has been a man on a nission and that mission is not only to win an A Section flag, but just as importantly, hope to see Blues relegated.
They pitch very hard for all of the new kids at the school, with Blues gaing a lot because they have been in A with recent success, whilst Blacks have pitched the most successful VAFA club line. Blacks have a lot more history than Blues, former VFL team in the early 20th Century with amazing names of VFL legends of the games to have played there.
All in all, I still think Blues will be a lot stronger, but if Blacks can stay in A for 3 years(very hard) they will once again be the club of choice.

Rookie
not that it matters too much as from what I've seen in the last two weeks the umpys have been ok, however does anyone know who the whistle blowers in the GF will be?
Bring back Dirk Kramer!
Bring back Dirk Kramer!
Good synopsis Brian but i must correct you on one point. The University side that was fielded in the VFL in the early part of last century preceded Blues & Blacks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melbourne_University_Football_Club
It will certainly be on like Donkey Kong when these two clash next year.
Good news for those not able to get to the game -
In a first for the VAFA, the A Section Grand Final between Old Xaverians and Old Brighton will be broadcast live on the VAFA website this Sunday.
For those interstate, overseas or just unable to get to Sportscover Arena to see the game live, the VAFA in conjunction with Sports and Entertainment Ltd will bring you the action live, free and uninterupted. Look for the coverage icon this Sunday and enjoy the commentary from Tony Schibeci, James Bell and Glenn Scarborough as they bring you all the action from 2pm.

I'd hate to be sitting on the comp on a sunday!!
will it be broadcast on TV, i.e. channel 31? seeing as most ppl have digital tv nowadays they should have teed-up to show it on the second ABC channel as the VFL will be shown on the main one..

All those attending the game on Sunday must be praying for good weather.
Not only for the standard of the game, but also for the off-field attractions.
(Old Xavs v. Brighton GF) + good weather = Plenty of good looking birds dressed up to the nine's at Elsternwick Park. Game On.

21deg, fine & sunny SMG!! Lets hope this stays it's course and the f**king wind doesn't roar up like it has been the last 2 sundays!!
Agree with ultimate hater on this one re live coverage of the A Section GF on the internet. Would it been better to have it either on the ABC2 digital channel, Channel 31 (remember, they used to do the VAFA) or the Auroara pay-tv community channel, rather than on the internet?

Both Saturday and Sunday are meant to be absolute ripping days weather wise. Should bring out some very lovely ladies as you all suggest.
Any news coming out of either camp? What are everybodies selections?
I am guessing that the Hornman will keep up his 07 Finals tipping record and go for Old Brighton in a close won.
Xavs by 4-5 goals for me.

Senior List
I'd take it a step further Jase, no AFL final on Sunday, leaves Ch 7 clear to send a few crews down to Sportcover Arena. Would be better than another re-run of that classic Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin comedy Hollywood or Bust.
Imagine Dennis and Bruce perched on the 1st floor outside the boardroom getting cosy with Sholls and The Brain, with the Ox roaming the pavilion wing getting a grab from Tim Ockleshaw or Justin Arnold as Bones brings them off for a rest.
Sounds good to me.

It's a hard GF to select Monkey.
And yes, my finals form has been cause for some concern.
A 20+ degree day should bring out the best offield talent seen for some years.
How many A Section Grand Finals have Old Xavs been involved in since 1995?
I'm not 100%, but i think it is as follows:
'95 - Premiers
'96 - Premiers
'97 - Premiers
'98 - Premiers
'99 - Premiers
'00 - Premiers
'01 - finals but no GF
'02 - Runners up
'03 - Premiers
'04 - missed finals
'05 - Premiers
'06 - Runners up
so yeah.. just a couple of apperances and wins..
