Hi all.

Aucklander and I have had a couple of runs through recent posts in this thread and removed a few unsavoury comments.

The usual griping and gossip is par for the course, but some posts go overboard.

Trialling at Essendon for the vacant spot there.

Trialling at Essendon for the vacant spot there.

I like the fit with the planes, Ben mckay is soft and injury prone, Laverde is undersized so he's a real chance to make a impact there if he gets a chance.

With Lachie Sullivan and Ethan Phillips getting onto AFL lists, is it time for the VAFA to put some pressure on the AFL to start providing a development fee back to SKOB just like they do to junior clubs?

I think the answer should obviously be yes.

East Malvern Knights getting that ca$h

Essendon have decided to keep the spot open and not take him.

 

[Mr Platinum]

They found out today that the Baldwin injury is not as bad as first thought, good for him but bad for Soff. He was a lock on Friday.

Good on them for getting it, but the VAFA clubs they played for should also be getting it. Knights are a great club, but cash is not an issue there.

Great club ?

 

[XXXXAFL]

Great club ?

Junior club is. There is no affiliation with senior club in SFL

 

[God Yeah]

Spot on in regards to the finances. The Knights have been flush with funds for sometime, credit too them on building what they have at the junior level.

They did say Prem B-D/3 Players would be considered for the Perth game i think

i like it, gives a whole VAFA picture rather than just the top grade

The rooms are being rebuilt using parts of the old , been tough for their cricket club as well . It's never any good to not have a home base.

I admire the forward thinking of those at HQ, it will be almost impossible to administer and police.

They said they'd stick with 12 days at the conference a few weeks ago

Another Slobbo wank piece , that flog must've got a lot of head knocks in bars

I'm no fan of Robinson and putting to one side what the VAFA may or may not do in the future, there are many neurologists, neuro-surgeons, and neuroscientists et al who have expertise in concussion protocols who are of the view that a 12 day standdown is insufficient.
