From today's (9/3/2005) Inside Football.
Quote:[b]Net Man can take a bow[/b] A cheer, please, for committed Port Melbourne and VFL watcher David Lumley. Lumley is the custodian of the impressive VFL Footy News website (www.vflfooty.com), which began in September 2003 and has steadily built a good following. It puts in deep shade the VFL's own website, which apart from carrying scores on Sunday nights, isn't worth a sausage. VFL Footy News has about 170 registered members and many more guests, and carries articles from daily and regional newspapers and lively forums.Well done David - much deserved recognition and I think I speak on behalf of all users of this site when I say this is a much appreciated resource for VFL news and I really hope it continues to grow in 2005. In other IF news: - Coburg have signed Josh and Adam Houlihan. With other players such as Michael Rix and Dale May, they are looking strong for 2005. - Adam Littlechild has left Frankston, but they have picked up the talented Ricky Morris from Dandenong Stingrays. - Bendigo have 11 Pioneers on their list, including Favalaeki, K.McGlynn and Sam Barnes. They also have 205cm Sam Steel. - Ben Setchell has signed a 2 year deal with Tasmania.
Lets add my congratulations also.
It is a big effort, and hugely appreciated.
Well done Ons, much deserved praise from Inside Football.
Any idea if there have been more visitors than normal today because of the article?
Thanks very much everyone.
The site is only worth visiting because of you people that take the time to post here.
Initially, I wasn't sure how many people I was likely to get visiting the site, but the response has been amazing.
Thanks to Paul Amy from Inside Football, sounds like I owe him a beer :) Will have to dash down the newsagents to buy a copy!
Seems like there are a few more guests today than normal, however none of them have registered, which makes judging their numbers a little harder.
