George Q - I assume all home games are at Vic PARK ?

[GeorgeQ]

Mike,

I spoke to the club this morning and they said that VFL home games would be at Victoria Park this year. I did not like the sound of 'this year'.

thanks heaps George the ressies draw was much appreciated! I reckon it would be good if they played a few at Waverley too. It'll be mad to get back to the good old days of sitting at a game with a VB in the hand and to be able to go run on the ground at the quarter and half time breaks but best of all no stingy AFL !

Only justnoticed this post, so I hope someone else notices my query:

I have a copy of the Reserves VFL draw, but does anyone know which actual GROUNDS they will be played at?

Or are we at the mercy of the AFL simply throwing matches here, there and everywhere depending on the waether, ground conditions, how Wayne Jackson's dicky knee feels that day?

Or better still, be there at Port for the first clash between Collingwood and Port Melbourne since 1896 !
Let's reclaim local footy.

I enjoyed my first ever visit to Port Melbourne.

Great effort, Pies, but to win by only 9 goals after leading by 15 was a bit of a worry.
Wasn't Rowdy sensational. He really stood out in that grade. Lots of good players in first half, but they really went to sleep late in the 3rd Quarter.

I noticed a lot of Port Melbourne supporters complaining that it was unfair that the old VFA/VFL clubs had to play against AFL reserves sides, and maybe they had a point. It seemed a bit unfair that they had to line up against the likes of Brown and Crosisca. But I guess, in time, it will even itself out. It would be a pity if the AFL reserves sides completely dominated the competition.

I'm hoping the VFL will become as strong a competition as the SANFL. It could become a great alternative to the overpriced and over-hyped elite competition.
