Believe me it would make no difference. The VAFA tribunal has been dispensing absurd adjudications for decades. And they don’t discriminate. They are equally inept and incompetent for district, school and uni based clubs. Calling it a lottery would be too kind. Its a ship show and has been for years.

Calsher Dear (Son of Paul) was available to play for Beaumaris last weekend as the Sandi Dragons weren't playing. The club decided to play him in the 19's..... He kicked a lazy 14 goals 6 behinds and had 30 possessions.
Why wasn't he playing in the senior team??? Seniors go down by 10 points and find themselves out of the 4 at the wrong end of the year.

No one has a crystal ball, Beaumaris have plenty of good players in the Reserves , the 4 point ladder loss was due to the Senior Coach so see how the next Month plays out , see Diggins is back this week
Same for me please

Unfortunately video doesn't capture the actual incident - out of shot for a split second - otherwise suspect we'd be having a different conversation. It's about 28 mins into second quarter of Fitz v St Bernards
An intriguing last few rounds coming up in B grade
Geelong (9 wins) has the bottom two sides and barring a catastrophe will finish on 11 wins. Likewise Beaumaris (9 wins) have two very winnable games and should also finish on 11.
DLS and STBM (both 10 wins) play each other next round. In Rd 18 DLS have Fitzroy away which shapes as a loss. STBM have Willy at home which, based on Willy’s away record, they should win comfortably. If DLS defeat STBM, % means they are a lock to play finals. Lose and they probably miss out. We then have the very real scenario of 4 teams finishing on 11 wins with % separating 3rd and 6th.
While anything can happen, over the course of the season St Bernards have been head and shoulders above the rest and should salute comfortably. Based on current lists the runner up might be in for a very long season in Premier next year. All would need a massive injection of talent and depth to be competitive in Premier division. For the sake of the competition it would be good to see Fitzroy in Premier next season.

Agree JJ
But aren’t Fitzroy a district side and therefore unable to ever make A grade due to the nasty ammos who can only support old boy clubs?
Sorry but I couldn’t resist...
I know. The cheek of them to have the temerity to perhaps play in A grade. Just like Beaumaris a few years back and the countless other clubs over the years. No doubt there are challenges but if the stars align and you are good enough then you can make it. Likewise you can go into freefall pretty quickly. I think most impartial VAFA followers would love to see Fitzroy in A grade next year. I know I would
I made some comments on another thread about the difficulties encountered by nearly all clubs at the moment, irrespective of school, uni, district or religious affiliation. Probably not the place to post it here but I might roll it out on the ‘General’ discussion thread when it inevitably gets raised again.

Agree, I think it would be wonderful to see Fitzroy get promoted up to premier section. They have all their men's sides playing finals / in contention to play finals. They seem to have helped form a great community club with a good supply of juniors from their local club.
Plenty of permutations and combinations will be looked at over the next few weeks in terms of results predicting for spots 2,3 and 4 in the Premier B finals, but it's great to see sides having so much to play for at this time of year and not just having to go through the last couple of rounds going through the motions pre-finals.

Beaumaris - the club that keeps on giving !!!!
Mr Angels, the Sharks have plenty of talented players to choose from, an under age player has years ahead to play Seniors, big issue down there is the Senior Coach and his delusions of grandeur

"the middle part of the ladder continues to be tight as Beaumaris mount a finals race which started with them defeating Old Geelong on the weekend"
I think the scribe failed to inform the readers that Beaumaris were deducted 4 points and created this 'finals race' all by themselves. I'm all for excitement and drawing in of the reader but please include the reasons for their ladder position.

I went to do my tips and saw that there is no game today. What’s the reason for that with only 2 rounds to go? Doesn’t make sense
It splits the Prem A to Prem C from the Divisional Grade finals. Sole reason.I went to do my tips and saw that there is no game today. What’s the reason for that with only 2 rounds to go? Doesn’t make sense

By my old reckoning the last time all the grand finals were held on the same day was the last week of August 2000. Other than that there has been a split round.
