Highett looked good yesterday the little bit I watched, would be a worry for GE going in to the season.

So they should be, after all the difference in the salary cap is only 100k

I’m not a GE supporter, far from it but struggle to cope with the comparison between div 1 southern and E grade ammo’s.... I wish we could pay something to attract players

Are they the club coached by Bryce McGain ?

McGain coaches Waverley Blues.
Glen Waverley Hawks were recently promoted from div 4.

Very confusing with 3 clubs with Waverley in their name.

Things at the Highett v Glen Eira game we’re a bit tense with Highett playing 6 6 6 and GE refusing, both not backing down.

Good old combine. Missed a chance to see how that set up would work.
Enough said. Drag the horse to water but ...

Good on them, why practice something you won't be playing? That doesnt help their structures and thats the whole point of a practice game!

Only the sensible leagues have stayed away from 6-6-6

From what I hear the combine should have played 2 6 10... might have made the score look a bit more competitive

The only problem with the 6-6-6 is the old timers complaining about it.

Makes for some good free flowing footy. But as usual with any modern change, the oldies complain.

As a Collingwood supporter, I dont see how you could say the game is more free flowing having watched the Pies and Cats game on Friday night

From a local footy perspective, how do you police it with just 2 field umpires and 2 boundary umpires? Does a player in Div 3 or 4 of a local league have the fitness to get back inside the 50 after a goal in the last qtr?

Its a typical reactionary move by the AFL to a problem that would have sorted itself out once a coach came up with a game plan to beat teams who flood. But still teams flood as soon as the ball is bounced and you still have players winning the ball in their back half and looking up to see no one in front of them, so nothings changed!

From memory Terry Wallace successfully invoked the "flood" whilst coaching the Bulldogs late in the 2000 year and that game was the Bomber's only loss that season. That was nearly 20 years ago and I'd suggest the flood hasn't been defeated by the collective coaching group in that time.

The only thing 6 6 6 changed in the AFL in round 1 was the lowest scoring round since 1967. Clearly a good move. Scoring ruins the game.

 

[Tigjack27]

So who are the teams to beat? who are the star players in this division?

i thought the vafa were not using the 6-6-6 rule?

Smart clubs are trialing it to see if it helps their forward lines

I have correspondence from VAFA that 6-6-6 nogt being implemented. The VAFA will need to issue urgent memo to all clubs if they have changed their mind

What a great stat, hopefully they see the error of their ways and dump it next year. Leagues not implementing are the smart ones

Wow we all know this but 2 weeks ago on a VAFA clubs facebook it said that that club would practice it in their own forward line to see how it worked for them. Get it - THEM not the opposition. VAFA clubs can do it if they like as a set up in the home and away - opposition would stand anywhere!
