Went to Eltham for the junior rep games. Large under cover area and you can watch from social rooms? Hahahha.. when people stand in front of the glass you can’t see anything and the under cover area you speak of is tinny.
Eltham is a great venue due to the elevation but don’t kid yourself about the facilities.
Eltham didn’t put in for the finals, so let’s move on.
Stay home and watch or go.. Wind and weather has played havoc every single finals series at Preston for last decade! This year will be no different by the looks of it.

Did a brilliant job of the womens grand finals on Sunday.
The sooner the mens finals are played there, the better.
Anyone know if Epping will have grand stand seating this weekend?

Not much under cover area but their seating is fantastic. Literally no where to sit at Epping.
PCO is a far better option.
Pretty disappointing VAFA has secured Coburg and Preston and we are heading out to Lalor, Thomastown and Epping….No disrespect to those facilities during home and away but without seating and shelter it’s not ideal for finals

Was informed the asking price at PCO was crazy. Not sure of the negotiation side of things but was told the asking price was around $100k for the series. IF that is true then that is a significant ask on past seasons.

Given their financial plight and a need for a quick injection of significant funds, the statement does seem like a plausible scenario though it is well overs to stage a finals series.
Imagine what the punters at the gate would be charged if the league accepted it

The guaranteed money model is stupid and won’t allow us to get the best venues. Just have a shared revenue model, will attract more clubs and venuesWas informed the asking price at PCO was crazy.

There's only two clubs from Div1 that frequent the venue so which Heidelberg or Banyule person was it?Was informed the asking price at PCO was crazy.

I spoke with someone involved at Preston and was told the league offered 5k plus Preston could keep BBQ turnover. Preston put in a counter offfer that involved about 10k plus a percentage of can sales, which was taken back and refused by League board. Perhaps the bloke at the pub had a stutter and added an extra zero.Was informed the asking price at PCO was crazy.

Considering what individual clubs are paying to hold the finals for NFNL this year Brutal, the guy at Preston may have failed maths in year 8 or as usual only those doing the actual negotiation will know and the truth is somewhere hidden in the narrative that suits both parties.
I went to the Womens Grand Final at Eltham and watched the game from inside sitting down and had a great view.
There was a big crowd outside well below the viewing area.

Banyule straight sets
Boro fantastic today, our boys tried hard but Boro too tall and too strong. To finish 3rd in our 3rd year in Division 1 and to win 12 games is amazing.
Things haven’t gone our way late in the season but we have earnt the double chance so hopefully the 2 teams tomorrow belt the living suitcases out of each other.
In our 3 years only Heid, Mont and Nth have a better win loss ratio against us.

Didn’t mean to disrespect, has been a meteoric rise for sure.
Looks like a lot of long term injuries as well, so a fantastic effort thus far. Mclarty and Aylett have been missing a while, assume injured?

All good, McLarty was out by round 3 and aylett by round 5. We know what we need to recruit in order to be competitive, especially after today.
Had a few leave early in year so has had a big bearing on depth. Next week is a new week and we look forward to trying to make a preliminary final
How does the VAFA negotiate a suitable deal with preston and the NFNL couldn’t? They are hosting their lower tiers there without alcohol sales. Would make about 5% of what the NFNL would have made them.

Umpires greenlighting knocking blokes out today.
Bridges looked fantastic today, ran very hard and played the big ground absolutely no worries.
Mont were extremely stiff losing Lentini in the first 30 seconds. That was Wilds third yellow but could easily be 6 weeks if it looks bad on camera.
Mont never really got going but still managed to keep it close for most of the day.
Was near on perfect conditions with very little wind.

Should have been red ,if that wasn’t red I am not sure what is was as deliberate as you could see. the man down hurt Mont as the game went on. Will be some big weeks. Umpires let the league down not red carding that.
Bridges were pats on the back and fist pumps on the bench when Wild came off, looked like a plan was executed. Wasn’t a good look.
