2024 VFL Season - Finals

[DTLSchulzy16]

The rule is crap because theirs a claus in there that says that at the AFLs discretion a player who falls outside this criteria can play in the final. It’s unlikely that the AFL will reject an application coming from a AFL club to play an ineligible player.

The x player has been injured all year. Can we play him. That’s why there’s discretion. Like the old local footy stories of naming players not at the ground just so they are eligible to finals

Really there’s just got to be some common sense about it

 

[MortlockWatcher]

When I was a team manager with a club in the Perth Football League a couple of years ago on the match day form, the two clubs had to confirm how many players were present "in the correct attire" at the ground for both clubs. To be included as a player, you literally had to be suited up and either on the field or sitting on the bench.

None of this crap like the bloke in the Omeo league a few years back who was sprung holidaying in Bali while being listed on a team sheet.

who hasn't played a game at all at any level of footy in 2024 according to play HQ

 

[Flyingleslieskite]

Curtains on the 2024 season for Port Melbourne today?

 

[Shonuff77]

Werribee defeat Footscray in a scrappy low scoring game.

Certainly can thank a nice contribution from the umpiring team out there today.. but the state of umpiring is the best it's ever been right? Believe even Dons coach said they were on the end of some favourable umpiring decisions post game.. when the winning coach is admitting to it, you know the umpiring was a joke

If Port were able to kick straight they might have been able to win.

In reality was over early in the season, the few wins we had gave fans false hope. Essendon were probably just a tad better but the officiating when it mattered tipped the game in their favour and once out of Ports grasp went back to normal. People may misinterpret what im saying, im not making excuses, Essendon was slightly better which brings me to the question - what does next seasons coach look for ? What type of players are we in need for to once again make Port Melbourne a power house (like we were expecting the past seasons to only to have our expectations deflated). How do we make it a reality this time ?

Season was over a few weeks ago never a chance of playing finals after a 0-5 start to the season

Werribee defeat Footscray in a scrappy low scoring game.

If the Dogs can't win it, then I hope Werribee do.

Interesting that your last few reviews of the Tigers' home games are describing the games as "dour" or ""scrappy" low scoring games, why do you think this is the case?

Is it Werribee's more defensive style, visiting teams playing to stop Werribee playing or is it just mid season dull conditions contributing to dull footy?

Werribee won't win it cause they're more defensive. Too many sideways kicks. They were more exciting to watch last year.

Think a number of performances against Top sides suggest very little.. the issue is the mindset against teams around or below them. 3-4 against Top 10 which included outshooting the Dogs and leading all day bar 12 seconds against the Suns and then compared to being 2-5 against Bottom 11...... not much else to say there really

 

[bedford]

Good win by the Bloods over Sandy another basterdised club not using their home ground

 

[AussieNick1999]

Frankston leading by 30 points at 3qt. Barring a spectacular fadeout we should get home from here.

 

[DTLSchulzy16]

Northern Bullants on the other hand…

 

[MRobbo]

Frankston win 6 gam3s in a season for first time since 2013

Frankston 13-16(94) def Collingwood 11-9(75)

 

[DTLSchulzy16]

Frankston win 6 gam3s in a season for first time since 2013

Frankston 13-16(94) def Box Hill Hawks 11-9(75)

Except it was Collingwood and not Box Hill

 

[AussieNick1999]

Frankston win 6 gam3s in a season for first time since 2013

Frankston 13-16(94) def Collingwood 11-9(75)

Think you're mistaken there. We won six games in 2022, beating:

Essendon, North Melbourne, Carlton, Williamstown, Geelong, Northern Bullants.

 

[Flyingleslieskite]

Northern Bullants on the other hand…

Back to the drawing board.

Adam Simpson looking for a new job now

Gonna start the conversation but Essendon VFL defender Matt Foley must surely be in the running for the Fothergill-Round-Mitchell medal as most promising player under 2.

Couple of other names I want to throw out. Davidson from Richmond's VFL side has gone from strength to strength whilst Felix Flockhart from Port Melbourne is quietly putting together a very good season leading the ruck department for the Borough in a ruck/fwd role.

Joel Trudgeon should be up there for consideration too. Averaging 28.8 disposals so far

Ive kept an eye from a distance as he was on the cusp of being drafted in his year. Has always put up reasonable numbers

what's been the knock on him?

Suns have lost every depth key forward they’ve got in the space of a week. Real chance of missing the wildcard now
