VFL Round 16

[footyman]

Go Williamstown. Great game. They have now beaten Bendigo twice and Werribee, yet lose to coburg and geelong

Amazing weekend of results really. Willy did Bendigo over for the second time this season. Tasmania have beaten Sandringham twice as well this year. Devils were awesome today.

Completely f***ed my tips up this weekend.

One thing remains the same - Coburg are s**t. They'd get rolled by Port or Williamstown reserves sides I reckon.

One thing that irks me about the VFL is that a side can have such a mediocre season and make the finals (a la American sports).

I think it was last week that eighth had a win-loss record of 5-8 as did ninth and tenth and they have a chance of making the finals

At least proper grass roots footy rewards the good sides with a final 4, 5 or 6 - instead of giving 8 out of 13 a finals berth.

The game you are talking about wasn't played in Hobart, it was played at Trevor Barker Oval which backs onto the beach at Sandrigham.

I know that's what Tigers said and I was just agreeing that it would have been shocking if i was played there because the weather was so bad.

Oh ok, yeah we played over in Tassie earlier this year and those support staff who went over said it was a shocker of a day.

Unfortunately, I couldn't go due to some financial issues.

The results this week have made things VERY interesting in regards as to who will play in the finals and in what position each side will be in.

Take the top 4. The Bullants now have half a game lead over Bendigo and Werribee, whilst Sandringham are a game further back in 4th.

The bottom half of the 8 is also very tight. Port Melbourne are just about safe in 5th with 8 wins, but, that percentage is a worry! Frankston are 1 and 1/2 games behind the Borough in 6th, but, they are heading a very tight battle which sees 1 and 1/2 games covering them to the Scorpions down in 11th. Box Hill, Williamstown, Tasmania and North Ballarat are the others in that fight. 3 have to miss out..but which 3?

Thanks for all the info, Pazza.

The last few weeks of the season will be pretty exciting.
