It's all at the stadium and in support of next year's World Cup
Things like change rooms, corporate boxes, wifi, supporter comfort (probably toilets). You don't get much excitement for $25M it seems.
My view is that players should be playing other roles at VFL level than their natural position. Not all the time but say one half every two games.
The VFL comp is not about winning it's about discovering and developing players. Winning is very much second.
Reminds me of the medal they used to give to the best VFL reserves player prior to the AFL. A commentator said it's a good medal to win but you never want to win it twice.
Agree
Also Chandler and Bedford will look back on that VFL bye followed by presumably covid the next week and wonder...what if.
Wonder if Salem will play VFL next week (hopefully good weather)
Zorko is the only one who can defuse this.
He needs to admit he made a highly inappropriate remark and tender an apology.
What was said need not be repeated.
$20k to a charity nominated by Petty.
The issue here is to send a clear message about unacceptable behaviour.
Cricket took sledging too far and paid the price. AFL is no different
Definitely advisable at Frankston. Must be something in the water down that way. Old Port supporters can be interesting but alas not many of them left.
Forgot to give an honourable mention to Box Hill Oval.. lovely grassed areas
Even when they are they aren't because they are required to finish around 45 minutes before the first bounce. The numbers there even for the last quarter are insignificant.
I actually like the use of the old inner suburban heritage grounds. Unfortunately Casey played at very few of them this year. Port Melbourne, Coburg and Windy Hill are probably my favourites. Frankston and Williamstown on a wind free day are also great
Where is Nitschke when we need him. What a name for a footballer even if my spelling is wrong.
I'd almost give up a first rounder for a Freud or Camus. Hell I'd even take a Conrad to guide us through the Darkness
