What's going on with the Record? - I noticed last weekend that in the team list players who played AFL previously do not get their AFL club listed in the "previous club" list. For example Adam Bentick's previous clubs are listed as Calder Cannons/Northern Blues(VFL)- no mention of Carlton. Similarly Shane Valenti - no mention of Melbourne and Wayde Skipper - no mention of Western Bulldogs or Hawthorn. I'm sure there are others.
I am not a big wrap for the AFL but surely if a player has been good enough to play AFL it should be acknowledged!
and its still not on line at the vfl website
Probably only an oversight Hillbilly... I'm not sure, but is that something the vfl provides or the clubs?
I wasn't at the game last week, but my brother bought me a copy. The quality of the record was up to last year's improved standard. I'd expect a big write-up on the Gold in this issue.. Perhaps they could do an article on how former VFL listed players are fairing in supercoach / dreamteam points.
I'd love to see more excerpts from VFA books, like Marc Gidding or Terry Keenan's work.
I think you mean Marc Fiddian North Port. Marc Fiddian has written several histories of VFA clubs including Camberwell, Oakleigh, Prahran, Preston, Northcote, Caulfield/Brighton,Pioneers VFA history 1877-1977, an updated VFA history a few years ago and several other footy books that cover His column in the VFA recorder was great.
It still has no room to write in DL scores.
A positive is the inclusion of Media Coverage for the next round. It was pretty silly to tell readers at a Sunday match what they had missed the previous day!
Yeah I actually wrote Fiddian, but stupid autocorrect changed it.
Is there a reason they don't have a row for rushed behinds, other than to annoy me?
The "progressive scores" section now in the Record can be used to write in the DL CR scores of the game you are at.
