I have been concerned about lack of numbers lately. Is there some way of publicising this site to get posters from more clubs and more people on it? Mentions in Record, Inside Football, SEN VFL programs, at grounds announcements, 3WBC, 3SER??? This site is a very good source of VFL information. Some good stuff is only seen here. As long as people don't abuse others and respect that there are different views, and that not everyone supports your club. There is no need for personal abuse, which apart from one recent case, has thankfully died out. This site certainly needs posters from several clubs which are missing or rarely sighted. Input from supporters of these clubs would add to these forums. Amen.

Very we'll stated cobra. I've only been part of this forum for a short time, but have really enjoyed the information and light banter. Hope it keeps growing.

Where the bloody hell are ALL the Port faithful ??
Looks like they have all pulled the pin. Mega & Burra are the only ones flying the flag.
I have detected a bit of apprehension among the few Port posters about the upcoming season. Is it the end of the great Port era ??.
Please come back boys & girls, it's not the same without you.
Billy regarding after match postings ,you have to allow time for posters to help clean up club rooms travel home (takes me 1hour plus to get home ) then always something else to do before we get on computer,this all takes time pal as I am sure you can understand,so don't think this forum has died just yet ,please have a little patience.
Think you may be happy first win of the season for the Zebras.

We've certainly lost a lot of posters over the years. Looking at the number of registered users, even after trimming the amount of accounts, there are more than 1500 registered user accounts.
They have come and gone for a variety of reasons. Some people were sick and tired of the bickering on here and petty name calling. Others followed the comp, purely because of family members involvement, others have simply given their club or the comp away.
Also other means to follow your club now exist that didn't when this site was first created. Bigfooty now has a few sub-boards for standalone and affiliated clubs, other fan sites such as true zebras etc and facebook as had a massive impact as well.
As a Port Melbourne supporters there are now at least 3 supporter pages, so a lot of discussion becomes insular.
Twitter also provides another avenue for the casual supporter that goes along.
If you can think of other reasons, let me know. It might give me ideas on how to woo them back!
VFA is always here.

I’ve loved this site for a long time but I guess as I became more disillusioned with Box Hill’s Hawthorn-ness and the comp in general my posts came to a screeching halt. I have always checked on the site, and have begun posting somewhat sporadically again, but not to the volume I used to.
I don’t know who to follow in the comp, it’s most confusing. I live 150 metres from the Western Oval and love the Footscray name, but now Richmond, my AFL team are in. But it’s the VFA comp I love, do I follow local team Willy, whom I’ve hated over the years? Coburg are the Lions again, should I follow them? They could do with support. I’ve kept a fond eye on Port (never would have thought!) as a stand alone success recently, but it’s hard to follow the comp without fierce loyalty to a team to keep you going.
But this site is wonderful and long may it continue.

Hi Digs,
I'm in Florence for a few months, but will try to keep my end up, by posting if I have anything useful to contribute!
Following the comp by all means possible.
Apprehensive? Not after a 73point win for openers!
The site is good to post historical vfa stuff, check scores and comments, find info, a bit of banter as long it is not over the top, a bit of communication, opinions.
It is the coming and goings of the current comp as well as the fabulous history of the VFA (wouldn't we love to turn back the clock).
It is 1.47am and I am watching the twenty 20 world cup final. Sri Lanka need 89 off 83 balls. They are 2/42 chasing India's 130. The crowd is fever pitch. Should be a close finish with Sri Lanka sneaking home. Time for sleep I think as I Have to work tomorrow. Will check the final score on fox news in the morning.
