That's a huge get for Port. Maybe this coming year things will click and we'll see signs of the finals side they were tipped as being in 2024.

Looks like it could be a decent year for the Victorian standalones. I wouldn't be surprised to see Werribee up there in the top four again after they managed to stay in premiership contention this year. My gut feeling is that Williamstown underperformed somewhat and will at least be in the top six next year, and I think Port's team will finally click and be in the finals hunt. Frankston are looking promising with a lot of key players already re-signed, but I think we need a few gaps filled if we want to go further than we did this year.

Coburg and the Bullants I think will struggle again, but I hope I'm wrong. Coburg showed signs this year that they can play well, but building on that foundation will be hard when you're not in a great position financially. Bullants I really fear for. Preston City Oval was deserted when we played up there, virtually no atmosphere and the facilities were looking quite run down. I really hope they can find a lifeline in 2025.

I hear Willy with a big AFL signing to come.
Sandy players not happy about the new coach and some already gone

What's the word on Port Adelaide joining the VFL? Or are the waiting until the official national ressies comp?

No national comp in the near future an VFL president told me a couple of months ago

Port and the Crows have been pacified by the SANFL recently after the league made concessions to the two reserves teams, but I suspect that Tasmania's entry to the VFL will spark another attempt (with strong backing by the Eagles if they continue to struggle in the WAFL).

Willy finished top 6 this year?

Willy finished top 6 this year?

After finals, yes. I was basing my post off ladder positions at the end of the H&A season.

I know, but Willy should be aiming higher than 6th which they finished this year.

I know we've moved onto 2025, but had a day off today, it rained and I got bored and reflected on 2024.

A worthy premier but was conscious of Werribee's low scoring for such a good side, and so looked through the record books.

Found their 1504 'points for' during the H&A season was the lowest by a top tier VFA / (current) VFL premiership side since Moorabbin in 1963. A long time.

Next rainy day I have a day off and get bored ill look at their measly 1067 'points against, have a feeling it will be longer.
