Noble Park

Submitted by Muesli on
Did anyone see the article in the Dandenong Journal last week or the week before that stated Eastern FL premiers of the past two years Noble Park had enquired with the VFL about representing the Dandenong area if Springvale's move to Cranbourne in 2006 goes ahead.

But the VFL still won.....doesn't matter one iota about the "What ifs" and "maybes"..... The VFL won the match...in Perth as well..... I reckon it was an excellent achievement.....and in years to come it will show that the VFL won.....it won't show about the WAFL's bad kcking etc... and as the old saying goes....."Bad kicking is bad football" GO ZEBRAS...GO VFL

Wow, I might have started a blue here that will run this thing to 3 pages! Get real. The VAFA is a very strong competition with a lot of good footballers. The WAFL clubs obviously tend to think so because 5 players have already been signed to play in the WAFL from VAFA clubs for next season, 3 from the one club. VFL VAFA SANFL WAFL Suburban Fatboys Thats the order, Look at the competition as a whole, not just 5 or 6 players, and thats the order!

The VFL is also not represented at State level by the best players in the comp as many of the AFL players playing each week for VFL teams are excluded from the State team. But when it comes to club teams the VFL would be the next strongest after the AFL then a big drop to the SA and WA leagues. Sandringham's premiership team this year had 12 AFL list players and at least 5 other players who had AFL experence.

Those players left to play at a higher level, there's no way the VAFA is better then the SANFL & WAFL. i suspect the only thing we will agree on is that we disagree. Isn't it a bit hypocritical to call suburban leagues fatboys & rank the VAFA second when their a suburban league as well???

I should stop this discussion after Muesli's last post. My mum always told me not to be mean to people who didn't understand. VAFA is a Suburban Comp???? No idea. But anyway, Your right, we will agree to disagree. Good debate though. Only problem with it is that none of us will ever be able to claim we are proven right. Wish it was footy season again!

ons, my old man tells me that Noble Park made a pretty big play for Steve Lawrence - any truth?

News to me Matty. I think Port were pretty keen to retain him. Wonder how much he was offered ?

Bring em on! The VFL needs another stand alone club, one that has a good supporter base and is financially strong. It would get rid of the bye which would also make me happy.

Absolutely agree Fottyman. Either Noble Park, or maybe Vermont would be a good geographical fit. IMO the Scorpions (as they are now listed( no Springvale) should have relocated to NarreWarren rather than Cranbourne. But getting rid of the bye would be good.
