A Section Premier Section 2024

Amazing that they did what they did this year, on the back of 9 retirement's from last years team, Piskers injury and Kennedy doing his ACL, missing basically the whole season.

I doubt any other club in the comp would have finished the season second on the ladder.

These are just excuses, all clubs have injuries and retirements. Move on

You obviously didn’t attend the game.

Watched it on TV alas....didnt compare to the Uni prelim referenced and Scotchies finished full of running..happy to defer to you Platinum!

 

[man in outer]

Yes the routine of a six day break and Friday afternoon game

Play on the weekend and train....broadly that is the routine I would say.

These responses never cease to surprise....obviously not excuses because Platinum is not seeking to be excused. Just putting forward an opinion based upon some information. Surely we on the forum welcome that.

Trained Tuesday and Thursday since Jesus played for Nazareth
Now this week what do Scotchies do?
Will be run over time on third quarter.

Yeah, I know, was the same with umpiring until OMs got kicked off the Junction and we moved to Mondays and Wednesdays. Sub optimal is putting it politely.

Why is Hewitt emergency for the 2s when he played in the Big V game last year

And why is Lachie Johnson in the 2s for most of the year - he was recently on an AFL list

Looks like an upset on the cards.

I've just watched the William Buck Premier Grand Final, and the VAFA's decision to play the William Buck Premier Grand Final on AFL Grand Final Eve Friday has paid off big time, judging by the size of the crowd at Elsternwick Park today.

Congratulations to Old Scotch. Well deserved win.

Watch the uproar about Hill not been allowed to play over the concussion protocols from Brighton again

 

[Over The Post]

There is that. Justified? Maybe. But the simple fact is that if he'd have been given an exemption, it'd set a precedent for the compulsory stand-down period being challenged in every other competition as well as the VAFA.

 

[Jascave]

Congratulations to Old Scotch. Well deserved win.

What made the win even more remarkable is the fact that Old Scotch were coming off a 6 day break like Hampton Rovers in Premier C, but unlike the Rovers who got smashed by Old Carey in the Premier C Grand Final, overcame that hurdle to post a convincing win.

He would have missed more games than any other player during the regular season for concussion (assuming medical clearance was granted). 21 one days is ridiculous. Make 19 days, so he misses 2 games.

Not a VAFA person but went to the game today, good game of footy, was a little underwhelmed by the crowd tbh, apart from the sections behind the goals the rest seemed pretty sparse. Didn’t seem like a big crowd for a Premier Division grand final. I just read 3500 on social media which seems small.

Not sure about the Friday thing, it’s a long weekend now so many people take the opportunity to get out of town, I think you’re probably better off winding up your local footy season last Saturday.

It was a significantly larger crowd than last year. Congrats to The Cardinals, 46 years in the making.

I’m an OSC and went to most games for years, when they were making up the bottom of A grade, in B grade. They’ve come of age and all their teams are excelling. It’s a great thrill for the volunteers, the lifeblood of these clubs. “Good old Scotch!”.
