VAFA General Discussion

[bedford]

FWIW new vafa president creating a big footy account and the Herald Sun doing a write up on Div1-Div4 recruits, what other nuggets does 2024 have in store? Bedford as the new mod?

Happy to accept fwiw

Yes, but the VAFA pulled the rule change due to certain clubs raising concerns. They wanted exemptions to the 12 game ineligibility clause if the player is a 1 or 2 pointer. So the VAFA are going back to the drawing board.

It's not like the VAFA is run by a couple of bigger clubs is it?

Never fear. And no need for pessimism, as the VAFA will get this sorted well before 2030.

how so?

 

[bedford]

Dale Christie leaving the VAFA and going to Port Melbourne as GM , sure has had a lot of paid positions

The very slow rolling out of the fixture is interesting. Nothing since the Premier roll out.

The new rules for 2026 are interesting.

I'm sorry, I forgot only the premier grades exist champ.

 

[bedford]

Pathetic no fixtures fo the 2 Premier grades missing

 

[bedford]

Every local comp and country have their fixtures out , but the biggest hasn't

Latest memo to clubs indicated a late January or early February release for Premier B/Premier C Men's. Something about needing the VFL fixture out first (if anyone can explain why they need the VFL fixture first it would be appreciated)?

Only possible reason I could think of is that VFL fixture dates might impact on finals ground availability. B & C (and other grades) use Coburg, Sandringham and Box Hill.

It's actually mindboggling

The shit dog walkers must be distraught

 

[Over The Post]

Merry Christmas and good cheer to you too, Bedford.

And everyone else, while I think about it.

 

[CARLTON2011]

A lot to consider with fixtures. Co tenants of grounds, school fixtures. We know the dates of each round. That's good enough this side of Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Go Panthers.
