VFL 2026

[MRobbo]

Tomorrow’s game at North Hobart can be heard on SEN Tasmania also can be heard in Melbourne on SEN Fanatic or anywhere via SEN App. Whether you are at the ground or maybe watching it on 7+ if you want to listen to it on SEN Sync will be operation.

It will be hard to encourage past and new supporters back to the Club, as with all Standalones.
During the VFA days, it was 'our boys' representing our suburb.
Now people realise that their former 'suburban' club is 'hopefully' a pathway for wannabes.

OzNik: You are passionate, and I admire your love for the Dolphins.

Frankston should be the pride of the Mornington Peninsula, and I believe it wouldn’t be too difficult to develop.

Have the Dolphins considered scouting the local competitions for good, better, best, and promising footballers? Inviting them, even occasionally, to train with the VFL team would yield benefits.

A Frankston Dolphins team composed of local players from the Mornington Peninsula would encourage strong support both locally and regionally.

There is a small forward at Old Peninsula that would easily get a game , but i think he might want to be a king in a small nation

From my understanding we absolutely do look to the local comp when recruiting, but now that we're a team that's consistently in finals contention we need to also be looking at established, VFL-ready players who can impact for us straight away. Don't get me wrong, we have gained some great recruits from local and Talent League football in the past (Ollie Moran being a great example, but at the level we're at now it'll take a bit of development before guys like that will establish themselves in the senior side, I think.

money in the MPNFL is ridiculous, no wonder players dont want to have a go at VFL level

 

[DTLSchulzy16]

Strange strange game in Frankston

 

[AussieNick1999]

Can't lie, tonight stings like hell. Had the game in our hands and blew it in the last quarter. I'm glad we took it to them, but I'm personally over having teams that we just don't win against. Williamstown, Werribee, Box Hill, Southport, and arguably Footscray now have become bogey teams who we lose composure against.

Great comeback after Q time

 

[bedford]

Went to Dingley today , massive crowd , such an outstanding facility

Obviously pleased Willy won but given what I've read about Frankston over summer, I feared a bit for the Dolphins. Didn't go and was pre-occupied with the Dogs on Telly, so interested to know what the situation was to make you say the Dolphins "had the game in our hands"?

Saw Willy was in front at HT, so what was the story after that?

a 5 - 7 minute stretch close to the second half of the last quarter, Dolphins couldn't kick a goal despite having all the play

 

[bedford]

Box Hill look hard to beat , have a great mixture of talls and smalls

 

[DTLSchulzy16]

a 5 - 7 minute stretch close to the second half of the last quarter, Dolphins couldn't kick a goal despite having all the play

That shanked set shot down a point into Ellison keeping the ball in only to snap it out on the full was something. Surely the point to tie and then trying to lock it in was a better result?

 

[DTLSchulzy16]

Tom Berry hammy for Southport 20 minutes in

 

[Borough Blood]

Thought it was free entry today at Frankston? Went past and they had the pricing poster up.

 

[AnUltimateRessie]

Tassie v Coburg game going for a record amount of turnovers at this rate

 

[AnUltimateRessie]

Sam Siggins first goal kicker for the new Devils

Probably just a leftover from last night. We got in free. There was a security guard checking bags but that was it.

 

[Bipolar Bear]

Amazing team performance against a half-decent unit, great defense and effort.
No players over 20 disposals, but a huge tackle count for Tassie.
Back 6 look like they have played together for half a decade.

 

[MRobbo]

For those wondering

ABC had commentators at Whitten Oval

Fox Footy had Lauren Wood boundary side at Frankston then rest of the commentators in the studio.

Channel 7 Tasmania had Lily Thompson boundary side at North Hobart , commentary was done in a studio in Melbourne

Thoughts?

don't care

 

[MRobbo]

Congrats to Tassie they dominated the 2nd half to win their first VFL game since June 2008.

 Footscray look very strong again, steamrolling Casey at Whitten winning by 40 odd. AFL debutant last week Lewis kicked 6 looks to have benefited from an AFL prèseason, looks fitter and Jack Billings

who will have to wait for an injury to get a game in the AFL Dogs midfield.

Like the way the Dogs try to win VFL games and flags, along with Box Hill, the most consistent of the AFL Reserves and aligned teams.

Think it's important AFL clubs create a winning environment at VFL level, think Footscray have only missed VFL finals once in 13 years in the comp, with 3 flags. Club now has a winning culture, a far cry from when I started following them and that' was late in the Ted Whitten era.

Pretty much this. We had several chances to ice that game and couldn't execute in the critical moments. Not to mention the atrocious first quarter.
