FWIW new vafa president creating a big footy account and the Herald Sun doing a write up on Div1-Div4 recruits, what other nuggets does 2024 have in store? Bedford as the new mod?

All VAFA posters being named,shamed and charged with 'bring game into disrepute"?

Your wish has been granted, the public bar will be open from 2pm, that is enough.

All we need now is Harry Hill to play under another name and we will have a great GF!

He should be allowed to play 9 hours makes no difference

A source close to the VAFA HQ Office stated they expected, planned & budgeted for 10,000 through the gate today.

Will try count on the livestream to see how close they get.

If the VAFA wants to continue its 3 week finals format, would it be a good idea if the 1st & 2nd semi finals in the Premier-Premier C was held on the same day in week 1, with the club that finishes 1st & 3rd at the end of the home and away season in their respective sections allowed to host the semi final, with only the preliminary in week 2 and grand finals in the 3rd week to be played at neutral venues?

Many leagues in WA and SA fixture the higher placed club to host finals at their home ground up to the preliminary final.

Some councils actually stipulate that matches must have the tenant club as one of the playing clubs (I believe that some in Victoria do this too) which means that it can be hard for leagues to arrange neutral finals. It would probably make HQ's life easier if they only needed to hunt for grand final venues and lock them in as early as possible (imagine knowing your GF venue in May!). Then in July, HQ can get clubs to liaise with their councils to ensure that their club would be able to host finals in the first couple of weeks if they were fortunate enough to be the higher placed club.

Would’t surprise me. They are pretty delusional in at HQ.

Did feel like 3500 looking from the UA rooms. Scotch playing in both games certainly helped.
