Great day at Frankston Park despite the wet weather in the afternoon. Great crowd too.
As Frankston won it's 3rd game in a row (1st time since Rounds 15 to 17 2008) and 6th in a row against Coburg.
Biggest disappointment was no footy records available after they failed to arrive from AFL Victoria.

well what a great day down at dolphin land, 1st thing though,
Frankston over last 8 years have done it hard
Port melbourne brought premriships as a stand
alone team, and port well done.
Now port are crying poor "we got no money mr vfl pls help us'
wELL PORT fRANKSTON HAVE DONE THE HARD YARDS and now here we are
we been
laughing stock for many years. well smart
managment and not blowing our money on shit is starting show what a TRUE STAND ALONE TEAM MEANS. mr airs pls stop your bitching and man up.
You reap what you sow
GO DOLPS THE TEAM IS A GRED
THE TEAM IS A CREDIT TO WHAT VFL SHOULD BE
tHE COACH OF COBURG CAME INTO FRANKSTON SOCIAL CLUB AND SAID "THE FRANKSTON CROWD IS SECOND TO NONE: the vfl future is Frankston
2 paragraphs in the Herald Sun and 1 sentence in the Age, why I am not surprised.
Still can't believe no footy records yesterday, I have been told there were a couple of good articles on Frankston.
You'll have to download it from VFL web site. Articles on Frankston players Haretuku and LLoyd.
It is very poor that no Records were available.
I'm genuinely pleased for Frankston that they are starting to put a few wins on the board, but, at the risk of being flamed, I'd venture to say they have a long way to go to be considered the premier stand alone club in the league, and its not just because I support Port Melbourne. One swallow does not make a summer, after all.
Highlights from this game are up on Frankston DolphinsTV, some good stuff in there, including Sam Lloyd's big haul:

Paul, any odds on Frankston making the eight ?
Sportsbet just have game odds as well as flag odds. Dolphins can sneak into the eight this week with a win against the roosters and a loss by the slimes against Casey.
What else would you expect for a Frankston v Coburg game rather than a Frankston win.
The Dollies are definitely on the right track, but Sunday's game will say a lot about where Frankston is at in terms of this season. A huge game against a very disciplined opponent, a must win game really so let's see how it goes. If the job gets done against Nth Ballarat maybe then the finals talk can start (as a whisper!).
