    New coach Grant excited

    On the eve of his first season as a coach, Frankston’s Shannon Grant says he cannot wait for the VFL season proper to start.

    Frankston has played a series of practice matches including a close win over 2008 runner-up Port Melbourne recently - Grant's first win as a coach.

    Asked on ABC 774 if he had cause to “bake” his playing group, Grant said he had kept his cool.

    Cats get the cream

    Geelong's solid pre-season form has continued against the Bendigo Bombers last Saturday.

    The Cats ran out easy 48-point winners on its home turf with key forwards Tom Hawkins and skipper James Podsiadly dominant.

    Podisaidly played his customary general's role demomstrating the form that steered him to the 2008 J.J. Liston Trophy. He switched to defence after half-time, following a four-goal burst second quarter.

    Secret SANFL pay row set to explode

    THE controversial issue of SANFL player side-payments is on the brink of erupting, with last year's minor premiers Glenelg at the centre of a looming salary-cap storm.

    The SANFL has been told of an alleged breach of the player payment ceiling but is yet to launch an official investigation.

    Glenelg has denied any breach claiming "there's nothing we've done wrong".
