It's back to the VFA name in 2014 !

Submitted by NorthPort on

I've made a decision. I will be referring to the comp as the VFA all of next season and beyond :)

With Coburg and Williamstown re-joining as true independent clubs once again... as well as former VFA clubs Richmond and Footscray (almost certainly playing as Footscray if the vote and feedback on the Doggies website and FB are anything to go by) fielding teams, it's time to restore the competition's name.

So I encourage you at every opportunity to slot the VFA name back in when referring the comp.

And I know for a fact just how much the VFL boys love getting the opportunity to take on professional players.

It's great to relive the glory days but we need to look onwards and upwards![/quote

Would hate to see 2 divisions & I absolutely detest the bloody yank term conferences. Heaven forbid. !!!

This is all fine and good (playing against the 'best'), but with more AFL reserves teams coming in - clubs may need to redefine the term 'success', because success won't refer to winning premierships - just look at the Western Bulldogs in the current AFL model - A premiership is currently an unattainable dream....
