Might see some interesting results with this Melbourne weather

Was cold and rainy down at Franskton today. Between the weather, the start time, and Gold Coast having no supporters, today was one of the worst-attended games at Frankston that I can remember.

Thought we'd be in with a chance under typical Melbourne weather, but Frankston just did not handle the conditions well at all. Far too many handballs in slippery conditions. Despite that our attack on the ball was superb and we did enough to be in the contest until the last quarter when Gold Coast blew the game open.

Unfortunately this spells the end of any realistic finals chances. Hopefully this lets some of the pressure off the team and they can simply focus on refining their process. Grey and Smith will apparently be back into the team soon and aside from Footscray, our remaining matches are all winnable. In my view this is now pre-season 2025. Finish the season strongly and find what it takes to get most of these guys to sign on for another season, and next year I think we'll be in a good spot.

Sick of AFL games where its running at the same time of the VFL its not that hard to fixture the VFL before or later

Essendon beat Collingwood in cold and wet conditions. They completely dominated the 3rd QTR. The playing surface is unbelievable.

AFL Clubs choose when they play not the AFL’s fault

The grounds team are just about the best

Camera work at Tramway oval is horrendous. It’s normally bad there but this week tops it

I was too busy sulking over Frankston's finals hopes being killed.

What's the big deal about Port vs Essendon being the same time?

Maybe because of the girls , doesn't worry me

Ah that makes sense

 

[AussieNick1999]

Ah that makes sense

Yeah not great to be scheduling a VFL men's match at the same time that a women's team from the same club is playing a final. Won't help grow support for the women's game.
