What a brilliant game - close and high scoring. And that is what the powers to be will pat themselves on the back for.
But according to a post on Bigfooty, just 2360 people turned up to the game. That was a pathetic crowd.
Also, very disappointing that the VFL season fixture and possibly a season so far report was not put in the VFL Record. That was a simple thing that was overlooked.
1.10pm starts DO NOT work! The reserves game was a great concept, but 10AM was TOO EARLY! And if the game was today you could have added a few thousand to the crowd. Saturday games in the VFL DO NOT work!
It is time the VFL started running things to benefit themselves and do what the fans want. The fans say SUNDAY GAMES and if games are to be on a Saturday then they want them at 2PM! And if the ABC refuse to come to the party then so be it. The VFL survives because of people who go to the games, not because of the lazy TV watchers.
What I detest is the way the VFA a once great and the mother of all Australian Football competitions has been allowed to manipulated and virtually killed by people that had no love in the old VFA.
Do you think that apart from a handfull of people like yourself and some fanatical SA supporters that that anyone in Victoria gave a stuff about the game on Saturday( just check the pathetic media coverage for instance) and I might add even if it was payed on a Sunday it still would have struggled to get a crowd of 5000.
In the end you can't fool the public with a much inferior product.
As for the third rate players - how many would get a regular game at AFL level is anyone stupid enough to think this was a true Victorian side NO it was a second rate VFL team that took the field .
A REAL VIC side would beat the VFL one by 50 goals!
Dolphin you are living in a dream world if you think that more than a couple of thousand fanatics like yourself care about this souless comp called the VFL.
As I have stated before most local comps and soccer clubs in suburban Melbourne generate more support and passion than any VFL club and its only that the clubs are usefull to the AFL clubs that the comp in its present listless form hasnt fallen over a long time ago.
You'd also hear a lot of garbage from people who know very little when you are at a Frankston home game.

Yes, I would. I hear a bit of it at Sandy too! and Port..........
Its what makes the game great.
I'd much rather listen to that sort of garbage than a pile of nonsense from some Billy who just wants to slag and whinge without adding anything constructive.
According to Football Victoria, there were 2 Board vacancies up for grabs over summer, and they invited expressions of interest from anybody.
I don't suppose he would ever put his name up, because people like that want to snipe, not fix.
