VFL 2025

[Mr north man]

You had me until "woke". The entire thing you're discussing before that is actually a very good idea. Not everything is a conspiracy theory.

Well let’s see how things work out with this planned protest march on the Tennis tomorrow and things get out of hand which it will and the political woke go quite and try and defuse it all with the attitude don’t do it again or you be sent to bed with no supper.

They can do that but in time you'll see Werribee will take those players who go to GWS intially to find more opportunities at a stand alone

 

[Shonuff77]

Apparently Werribee have their first home game in round 3 against Footscray. Should be an absolute belter with a big crowd.

 

[Flyingleslieskite]

Looks like theres a few returns to the VFL taking place, with Liam Hunt ex Coburg/Williamstown looking likely to land at Footscray, while Angus Hanrahan(ex Frankston/Port Melbourne) has reportedly landed at Sydney VFL.

Few interesting names popping up to be on the move;

Mitch Szybkowski (GWS), Nathan Sulzberger (North), Rye Penny (Weribee) all pen to paper

 

[bedford]

That Brenton Rhodes has put a in and outs list up , all he's doing is copying Paul Amy's tweets

It's good to have it all consolidated into one list, especially when clubs don't always make announcements for every list change.

 

[troybe]

Brayden Crossley (Southport) has been invited to train with Western Bulldogs

 

[Shonuff77]

Werribee are playing 4 practice matches.

Roo boy: Adam Tomlinson joins North Melbourne’s VFL team

Adam Tomlinson is the latest former AFL player to join the ranks of the VFL, linking with North Melbourne as a marquee recruit for the club and competition.

@paulamy375

January 30, 2025 - 11:01AM

He was linked with an SSP trial at West Coast Eagles and Gold Coast, and with Collingwood and Sandringham in the VFL.

But Adam Tomlinson has landed at North Melbourne VFL, continuing the influx of former AFL players to the state league since the end of last season.

Tomlinson began training with the VFL Roos last week and took part in match simulation with the AFL squad yesterday at Arden St.

The 31-year-old played 185 games, 140 with GWS and 45 with Melbourne, before being cut by the Demons last October.

He expressed hope he could find his way to a third AFL club but nothing has eventuated.

Tomlinson was a Giants foundation player and crossed to Melbourne in 2020.

An ACL injury in 2021 meant he missed the Demons’ premiership but he played in Casey’s flag in 2022.

Last year he had eight AFL appearances with Melbourne and dominated at VFL level, averaging 24 possessions from nine matches.

It’s been a busy off-season for North Melbourne, bringing in former Gold Coast Sun Darcy Macpherson and his brother Ewan, delisted Saint Olli Hotton, ex-Hawk Jack O’Sullivan, Sandringham’s Oliver Lowe, Sandringham Dragons graduates and premiership players Adrian Cole, Sam Linder and Nathaniel Sulzberger, and Casey Demon Oscar Van Dam.

Matthew Clarkson, the son of North AFL coach Alastair, has switched from Richmond.

The Roos have also latched on to Koroit’s Paddy O’Sullivan, the brother of their high draft pick Finn.

Former AFL players to join the VFL in the off-season include Dyson Heppell (Port Melbourne), Curtis Taylor (Collingwood), Jack Bytel (Coburg), Riley Bonner (Casey Demons), Francis Evans (Carlton), Lachie Gollant (Williamstown), Will Hamill (Frankston), Nathan Kreuger (Geelong), Charlie Lazarro (Port Melbourne), Hewago Paul Oea (Southport), Ethan Phillips (Carlton), Ethan Stanley (Box Hill Hawks) and Tex Wanganeen (Port Melbourne).

Frankston men's preseason fixture so far (time and venue still unknown for Hobart game)

 

[Shonuff77]

2 more signings to close out January. Harry Maguire played 11 games for the borough last year.

 

[bedford]

Mark Murphy and Steve Alessio on to the Borough coaching staff

 

[Shonuff77]

Hopefully the VFL has Anzac Day games. It falls on a Friday.

Pretty likely that Frankston will do one in my opinion. Our ground is meant to be match-ready by mid-April.

I predict the dolphins will play the borough Friday night. Willy to play the bees at Point Gellibrand on Friday Arvo. To have 4 standalones on that day should draw good crowds. Not everyone is interested in the magpies v bombers.
