I doubt any of our members would be aware of him. I saw him play during the golden years of Williamstown. He was my farther's cousin
Great day down at Port under glorious sunshine. It's a bit of a shame that there weren't more people there to watch an entertaining game of footy. Crowds have dropped off recently, maybe due to poor results, too many night games and not enough traditional 2pm Sunday games...
Full credit to the club, who put on a free kids entertainment day with a DJ, Band, Facepainting and snacks.
Hi people. I've done a bit of a ladder predictor......there are so many games that could alter the table in the next few weeks, but I think most of my predictions here are reasonable.....
Box Hill – currently 52/143.5 – Southport (A) L, Footscray (H) W, Casey (A) W – Predicted Finish 60/145 – 1st
Losses to both Footscray and Southport could see them drop to 2nd or even 3rd. Still likely to finish top.
Footscray – currently 48/134.5 – GWS Giants (H) W, Box Hill (A) L, Carlton (H) W – Predicted Finish 56/137 – 3rd
The Dolphins look bloody good. Watched a bit of tonight's game against Collingwood and Frankston look sharp. Move the ball quickly and structure up quite well too.
And how good is that crowd too!
That's right... with the Borough's season both at VFL and VFLW all but over, I've begun looking forward to next season.
The addition of St Kilda to the competition adds yet another side.
My understanding is that the Tasmania Devils are playing games against VFL clubs in 2026, but will not be part of the season itself, playing just 10 games throughout the season.
As much as I like the idea of the competition being one division, I'm beginning to wonder if it should be a case of playing every team once, and having no byes during the season.

More disappointment for the Borough faithful.
The Dolphins ran out comfortable winners 16.12.108 to 11.7.73
Again Port Melbourne moved the ball well in patches.
Again winning centre clearances (and hit outs)
Again winning inside 50s although narrowly
Again free kicks significantly in favour of the opposition
