I’ve just had a read a summary of The Code Report which recommends the merger of the SFL with the MSJFL. Code pumps-up the SFL as the league best placed to run a junior competition and recommends the VAFA as a “stakeholder” be “periodically updated on the progress of the merge” – effectively dealing us out of the process. Toss in the recent defection of Bentleigh back to the SFL and it hasn’t been a good few weeks for the VAFA.
In view of the fact that the VAFA has been a significant supporter of the MJSFL over the years it seems - prima facie at least - the VAFA has been treated poorly by Code. The proposed merger will make the SFL a formidable league.
