Chat about the 2017 VFL season
As I sit at my desk preparing for a job interview, the wind is blowing an absolute gale!.
If there was a game at Port Melbourne today, all the play would be at the Bob Bonnett end. It will make for some pretty ugly games of footy today if ti doesn't let up.
The drought has ended!
Congratulations to everyone involved with the Roosters.. A much desrved 4 points, that I hope got celebrated well into the night. It's been a a long season.
A solid result, with a 4+ goal win (26 points).
I know a few people tipped this one (me included!)
From AFL Vic http://vfl.com.au/port-melbourne-vs-williamstown-chapter-250/
Interesting to note the dates the clubs joined the VFL.. Me thinks an attempt to re-write of history
Before the Borough Brigade get exited about Willy's 1969 Premiership I'll point out it was for Div 2.
