Can't really blame the AFL for this one, well not in the way you are talking.

The VFA was a dead duck as soon as the AFL started playing Sunday games, probably on the way out before that in reality.

The VFA was no competition and many of the clubs were insolvent. If anything the AFL/VFL have helped keep a few of the old clubs like Port & Willy alive, but really it's only a matter of time before they fold or move into some local competition...

The AFL didn’t need to play on Sundays. 

But they did it any way..

    Dug the handball off the ground to Bailey for the winning goal in the only premiership I've witnessed (aside from plenty of other clubs ?) In 87 vs Eseendrug.

    We also won the night flag in 1989 by beating Geelong in the final.

    I am talking VFA days when the Mighty Zebras were a proud club in their own right

    The AFL had no right to kill off the VFA, but they did it any way

    And their doing their best to kill off country footy as well

    Who wins this?

     

    Sandringham are two spots below us on the ladder with one less win.

    It is a proverbial toss up

    With Preuss and Weideman playing we might win. No wind should make for a good game.

    Spargo, Hannan and Maynard all out, not sure why the reasons given none were mentioned in any injury reports, but could they have been given the same treatment as OMac and sent away for special fitness training? Both Hannan and Spargo have looked to lose a bit of their spark from last year so maybe their trying to find that before the seasons done so they can work on hitting the preseason at full tilt? 

    Hannan has hardly played this year with injuries. Not going suddenly find form.

    8 inside 50's for no score.. sounds familiar

    Have not heard Weideman called.. is he playing?

    Got a likely concussion in the first 30 seconds of the game. Classic MFC 2019.

    JKH been in everything. Bedford looking good with pressure. We miss Maynard. Haven’t seen Melksham but is named. 

  • Quote

    Oh it’s so bad. They might beat the 84 points off turnovers from last night.

    disappointing quarter by casey

    after dominating the first 15 minutes for no score the two teams swapped goals until Zebras dominated kicking 3 goals in time on

    Zebras by 18

    JKH and Stretch getting lots of ball but not damaging at all

  • Quote

    We are currently being pantsed by a team on a 6 match losing streak

    Sound familiar?

    So Bedford gets a free about 35 out, directly in front of goals.

    What do you think the result is?

    Yep.

    Its a cancer on this club

    Casey enter 50 and get repelled, enter again and get repelled, enter again and get repelled

    Sandy enter once and goal from a nice pass to a player on a lead.

    Sandy 9 scores from-14 entries

    Casey 7 scores from-21 entries

    What the [censored] has happened to our entire club?

    Edited by ding
    Currently 6.3 to 3.4 their way

    Negatives - just everything. 

    Positives - Dunkley looking good? Hore will be back next week. Pruess has responded well. JKH still gets the ball. Beford can lay a good tackle.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
