VFL Round 8 - Frankston vs Sydney

Clear skies and only the slightest breeze tonight for our clash with the Swans. Hoping for a reasonable crowd tonight but with Sydney playing Carlton at the same time I doubt many will make the journey. Plus there's an art exhibit running across the street in Beauty Park so the lack of parking will put a lot of people off. 

Big game for us. A win tonight means we move past last year's win record. With Vossy and Mynott back into the team I've got some real hope we'll get up.

Your predictions of a modest crowd appear astray, just going by the livestream, looks very healthy AND loud

Currently sitting 4th according to the VFL app. Probably won't be that high after the round is done with Geelong and Southport likely to jump us, but we'll be well inside the top 10. 

Important milestone for us tonight, as we've now surpassed last year's win record with not even half the season played. And as we get into probably the toughest part of our fixture (away games against Southport, Werribee, and Brisbane within our next four games) I'm happy to have banked wins against GWS and Sydney. Tough few matches coming up but if we can pinch a win from one of these away games I'll be content. 

Not hyping us up as a finals side yet, but our form so far has me starting to think it's plausible.

How good was Taj?? 19 tackles last night -unbelievable. Very high disposal efficieny too.. Murphy and Grey now among the VFL elites..both superb again. Boys would have to be confident of an upset in Southport next week.
