Digs, I have watched quite a few of the old Homicide episodes from around 1967/8 period in recent weeks.. Don't mind the old TV shows from yesteryear better than the current reality TV garbage shown these days.
I even watched a show My Name's McGooley what's yours. You would remember that show for sure Digs. The voice of VB bitter stars in it as does Gordon Chafer and a young Noeleen Brown better known for her role in the Naked Vicar Show. Don't think we will be going to any footy games until at least July.

Comments has been made around town that Matthew Lloyd said last night there would be no VFL this year.

Can anyone confirm this.  Can anyone provide an up-date.  The VFL have been singularly silent on their web-site!!  As always and as expected.

I heard him too, it is 2nd Wednesday in a row he has gone with that, he has no idea.

still waiting on AFL to make a decision is the latest (been like that for a month)

Matthew Lloyd, Caroline Wilson and some of those other reporters have no idea and are CLUELESS.
Would not believe anything they say. VFL and local footy nothing known as yet.

The following has been posted regarding Essendon District FL. Nothing on other local Leagues I have noticed.
INSIDE THE EDFL’S MEETING WITH TOP-FLIGHT CLUBS
The EDFL has floated a start date for 2020 to clubs, but several hold concerns about the financial and health risks associated with staging a season amid the coronavirus crisis.

I'll take an old pre spaghetti  Western movie anytime.

A movie (non Western) I like to drag out of the vault is "Bad day at Black Rock" particulary of I,ve had a bad day.

We are all frustrated with the lack of info about whether a VFL season will happen or not, I understand a decision is at least another week away.

 

Tomorrow will be 2 months since last story on website or social media pages for VFL

Wonder if other states have any news on their local grass roots comps ?
Maybe Matthew "know it all grass chucker" Lloyd might know something.
He might come up with the same dribble he has in the past 2 weeks. LOL.

No news on the WAFL or Tassie state Leagues.

COULD WE SOON SEE 7000 FANS AT SANFL GAMES?
The SANFL is exploring the possibility of playing matches in front of spectators at Adelaide Oval, following the state’s AFL teams being forced to compete interstate. But, there would be a catch to securing your ticket.

Why September 1. Is McLaughlin going introduce a final 12 ? No home and way games just straight into finals LOL
Not confident that we will see any footy this year besides AFL (Arrogant FL). If they set up fake crowd and noises in their televised games I will not be watching at all and would be turned right off. I don't think I will be the only one.
