I am having a few issues with the voting poll function on the website so I have removed it for the time being. 

However, I am interested to know (assuming crowds are allowed) whether we will see a resurgence in crowd numbers, particularly given less conflict with local footy comps this year.  I think we could be in for bumper crowds. 

Perhaps a cheaper membership option for first time sign-ups could really boost the finances of clubs.

FOOTY’S HERE – HARD YAKKA / TOTALLY WORKWEAR VFL SEASON TO COMMENCE IN AUGUST

AFL Victoria has today announced a return to competition date for the 2020 Hard Yakka / Totally Workwear VFL Season.

Eight VFL clubs will return to full-contact training from Monday 13 July with a seven-round season to commence on Saturday 1 August. The eight clubs will be Box Hill, Casey Demons, Coburg, Frankston, Port Melbourne, Sandringham, Werribee and Williamstown.

Tomorrow night from 7pm on 94.1FM 3WBC and via TuneIn Radio App

The boys will be delivering the latest news as hopefully a start date is closer to be announced

Frankston coach Danny Ryan is one of the special guests which will include a VFA Legend at the end of the show.

Finally, community footy gets the green light.

The players from the defunct Northern Blues team are being giving the option of joining Sandringham for 2020 VFL season. I think this is a great idea.

as part of the season rumours suggest Josh Fraser will take up the vacant coaching role.

Thoughts?

AFL announced late today that the 2020 VFL season is happening with the 8 standalone clubs. A start date and a number of rounds etc. and fixture still to be determined. 
 

NAB League will also return.

No news yet on VFLW

Good news at last. SA govt is allowing a crowd of 2000 to watch Adelaide v Port Adelaide on Saturday. With zero cases in Victoria in the last 24 hours hopefully Chairman Dan will follow suit and release the handbrake when footy starts.

VFL season ‘looks like it’s a goer’ as clubs and AFL crunch numbers

Clubs are becoming increasingly confident a VFL season will go ahead and, despite lingering issues such as crowds, officials are drawing closer to a consensus on when the season — and round 1 — will be played.
