If you only buy one "Inside Football" a season, you must buy this week's!
There's a massive spread about "our" George, "VFA". Photo's, too.
Plus Phil's comments about a return to VFA (not George). I've not read the rest of the paper.

I went to the Geelong West reunion and it was a fantastic day. It was organised by long time Geelong West man Kevin Kirby. The great man Billy Goggin spoke. Plenty of past players including Stephen Sells who is still involved at the club, Anjelkovic who kicked the winning goal in the second semi final over Caulfield.
The ground is still the same with the bicycle track around the ground.
In the GFL game Geelong West St Peters were a bit too good for St Albans. Very fiery last quarter including several scuffles. The centre square was a bit boggy and the footy was very hard and tough. The Geelong West team wore Geelong West heritage jumpers with the VFA patch on it.
The roosters sang the song which was a mixture of cheer cheer the red and the white and North Melbourne's song.
What I seen today I reckon that once a year the Geelong VFL team SHOULD play a home game at Geelong West's Western Oval and make it a VFA flavoured day inviting past players showing old footage in the social club. They can also have Geelong West St Peters playing their scheduled GFL game as a curtain raiser.
This would drag plenty of past players and supporters and a trip down memory lane. A game against Port or Williamstown would be great. Forget Geelong playing Williamstown or Port Kardinia Park in front of 250 people.
I agree. Best would be Geelong (in the old GW VFA strip) against Port, given this was huge rivallry during the 70's and 80's. Imagine would be great interest in a lunch where you rolled out Fred Cook and Joe Radojevic - Peter McKenna played for both clubs.
