A former women's coach from the eastern 'burbs got his knickers in a twist perhaps.

Isn’t he also coaching at Essendon VFL?
Also, I don’t know if his missus ever worked at the VAFA, maybe you’re thinking at Matt Handley’s wife?

Nothing more than a tease Maxwell.
It is a curious appointment. That said, I think hinting at a connection between someone who may have once worked at the VAFA and known to 'Plugger' was regrettable.
Don't know 'Plugger' but I'm told he's had coaching ambitions for sometime, has put time into preparing himself for that next footy step and is a student of the game. Pretty sure he'll surround himself with plenty of experienced coaches too.
Who knows, maybe Hedge's former coach and one about whom he has spoken volumes might be interested in adding his experience.
Perhaps Brian, version 24, could don his hair hat and give us some insight into whether 'Plugger' is made of the right coaching stuff.

I am not Brian (I follow Collegians) however I have spoken with some staff at HQ and they are over the moon to have Plugger as the VAFA rep coach.
I was also curious to find out whether Mrs Lynch has ever been employed by HQ, which I was told was not the case.
I am just hoping Plugger can get our best 22 players on the park in the representative game and that we can win!
They tried that a generation ago. Even had Phil Stevens involved. Can't see it happening now.
The VAFA is already a member of AFLVictoria and there is not much of any significance that the VAFA can do without the permission of AFLVictoria.

I sincerely apologies to Mrs and Mr. Plugger re working for the VAFA.
Should be better informed.

I think it's a good appointment. Coaching a rep team is really about bringing together a group of opponents to play together on the day, as opposed to developing a long term team strategy that'll work over an 18 game season. Plugger would be good at that, a very popular people person and highly regarded amongst his playing peers. He'd also be learning plenty being amongst the VFL system I would have thought.

This isn't the place for sanity and reason. Enjoi ur ban.
Geez Maxwell! Just as well you're not a mod. Applying that sort of posting stringency would probably mean only JJ would be left. Besides, a little controversy keeps OTP on his toes.

I now see how grave your breach of all things good and proper has been and that you really have done little more than slap yourself over the wrist with a damp lettuce. Not to mention missing apologising to the real aggrieved person.

He'll be fine. He'll draw together plenty of good experienced support. Go Vics!
Think Max is feeling a tad disappointed that an impressive women's coaching record was overlooked.

Is it just me or was that state game like watching an intraclub? Was just a training drill

It wasn’t a proper state game. It was a charity fundraiser. Pure and simple. If they raised heaps of cash because people watched and donated at the ground or via the telecast then it achieved all it was designed to do.
Good move getting Harf to coach the Women's side after leading Carlton in the AFLW.
I put the appointment of an experienced coach in this instance down to Max being so convincing when commenting on the senior men's appointment. His influence in VAFA circles has to be seen to be believed.

Maybe he could have Jon Edgar alongside .
Well Briza, I guess it's of considerable comfort to you having something positive to comment on relating to your alma mater. Heaven knows it can do with it.
Anyone finding it hard to foresee this season being completed?
Really would take 1 player to be found with C-19 and it would basically shut the season down.

So if any player happens to get the flu this winter, we call the whole thing off so we? Gastro? A bit of a raspy throat?
COVID-19 takes twice as long to pass in but it is easier to transmit and there’s no vaccine so if you get it, you get it. In men aged 18-35 it’s far from lethal, more like a normal flu. Currently there’s 4.5 confirmed cases per every million Australians.
