Caught the Eltham v DC game on Saturday. As a neutral who hadn’t seen Eltham or diamond creek play this year I was impressed by both and the battle to get the game on each sides terms was intriguing. *Never been a big fan of playing coaches, he obviously has a strong support team but I rated...

Lalor have forfeited there reserves for the coming weekend already on a Thursday night. There must be enormous concerns for there viability going forward.

Most AFL teams train in public venues nearby. Most clubs will have “scouts” or “track watchers” who are probably watching just as much as Jen is. I don’t think any Club would be worried about training footage appearing on social media. What the pies are doing isn’t anything ground breaking and...

Div 3 finals start on the 21st, Div 2 & Div 1 with the same finals structure start on the 28th and finish the week prior. With no crowds at any of the games wouldn’t it make sense to start all of the finals as late as possible?

Is there any reason why div 3 finals wouldn’t start the same weekend as div 2? I thought it would make sense to push them back as far as possible especially if they are going to start dropping games off if we can’t start next week.

Beaten by Kilmore but they pushed Morang and defeated Laurimar. Also thumped Turtles. Played Morang 3 times in 6 games, played Kilmore x 2 and played Laurimar x 2 while playing reservoir and mernda once. Other clubs have had significantly easier fixtures. Kilmore have played Morang and Laurimar...

What a shambles this is. Understandable that games can’t be made up but how was the fixture ever released with an 18 round season and no byes scheduled. Quite embarassing actually.

What practice matches are on this weekend?

Started back in Jan Re-start was in Jan

A little bit of perspective. Pendles greatest 2 flaws have been his aerial contest and converting set shots from the left hand side. He slices and misses to the near side quite often. His over head aerial is simply terrible but very rarely is it required and elite traits more than compensate...

who does rantall push out of contention for round 1? I can’t see him going past too many as an outside player and he isn’t big enough to compete with the bulls. Bianco in a similar position, he is fantastic either side of the body but he was dwarfed by Wilson on the wing and lost a number of...

excellent training report once again Jen 👌

From what I saw today.. * Murphy look ready to play consistently as a 3rd tall/ rebounding defender. Important to remember he didn’t play a lot of junior footy as cricket was his preference until 17. *of the new boys Macrae stood out and found plenty of the ball, made some mistakes but his...

I suspect common ground will be found shortly.

Will have to make do. Contact allowed from 13 July gives clubs 12 days prior to a July 25 start. Plenty of time

Any chance of a backflip? I have had players enquire about moving clubs because they are desperate to play.

Couldn’t agree more

so much for a unified approach from metro leagues. I understand clubs wiped there hands and took the it’s too hard approach but I feel like there should have been more done in regards to discussion around alternatives to keep players on the park. the prospect of players transferring out or...

I have already had players enquire whether they can transfer to a comp that is still going and I know of 2 other clubs that have had the same question asked. AFL Vic needs to cancel transfers or run the risk of a player mass exodus to other leagues and weakening the standard of the league for...

I honestly think which ever way it goes there will clubs who will come out of it in poor shape. I’m happy to coach and provide a release for my playing group because i am confident In the work the club has done over the last 3-4 seasons from a revenue model. We aren’t a big club with a massive...

My self and the other coaches have done the online course and will share the responsibility during the training stages. The president, Vice President and 2 other general committee members will share the COVID officer roles during game (of game day happens) it took about 10 minutes to read...

some of the players are contracted but how would I or the club stand in there way for wanting to have a kick.

I can attest this as a senior coach I have been approached by a couple of small groups who have asked whether they could go with mates in the VAFA. Troubling times for clubs.

HW seniors won by about 5 goals against Surrey Park

SP seniors beaten by about 5 goals

I think the inner suburban clubs really need to embrace each other as respectful allies to ensure there own longevity. Ben has set the example for all clubs committees.

its actually comical that you actually suggest that the senior coach or the football club would jeopardise potentially breaking a 20 year finals drought to qualify the senior coach to play reserves? Come on champ switch on. You clearly weren’t at the game nor was the person you talk to. Join...

Switch on you clown he hasn’t played for a month as he is clearly injured.

Missing finals certainly isn’t a pass mark for the year. The close games against Morang, Mernda and Turtles during the middle of the year where we gave up starts, fought back to be in front late in those games only to lose proved to be really costly at the end of the season. Win 2 of those and...
