Transfer of Game
The Werribee Football Club advises that the round two game between Werribee and Bendigo Gold will not be played at Avalon Airport Oval this Saturday.
The ground, in particular the centre wicket area, has been deemed by AFL Victoria and
The Werribee Football Club as unsuitable for play this weekend.

Why Highgate. Surely there's a more suitable ground available?
Surely somewhere between Sunbury and Castlemaine there would have been a ground up to VFL standards that might draw a crowd.
Dont know NorthPort the sooner cricket moved from Avalon oval the better
I'm only guessing, but I dare say that the Cricket Club has probably been there for longer than the footy club :)
No the football club was formed before the cricket club the Werribee cricket club was formed from a merger of local cricket comp there was a story in 1 of local paper about the council in talks with cricket about relocating last year inthe furture i know there a commitee working on the redevelopment of the ground
Someone had better inform AFL Vic as I couldn't see anything on VFL or TAC latest news.
cheers Tiger56, I stand corrected!
No probs North Port just hope the redevelopment goes ahead from the plan Ive seen I think it will be one best facilities in the comp
VFL "fixtures and results" still lists game at Werribee. That is very poor PR. They are quite obviously not interested in promoting VFL football. OR, is it still at Werribee?
I can't see anything about VFL or TAC changes on VFL official site.
VFL "latest news" now mentions change of venues for the VFL,DL and TAC games this weekend, and put time of item as 14.09, Thursday. Its "fixtures and results" page, which ridiculously starts with round 15, lists the Werribee v Bendigo match for Sunday 13th but still at Werribee!
