Gary Ayres: VFL's stand-alone clubs standing tall

Port Melbourne coach Gary Ayres has lauded the VFL's stand-alone clubs for their competitiveness this season against AFL-listed talent, as the Borough surge towards another minor premiership.

Two games ahead of the rest of the pack, the Borough, with a revamped list this season, appear set to challenge for its third grand final appearance in four years.

The past three flags – Port Melbourne (2011), Geelong (2012) and Box Hill Hawks (2013) – have been won by three different models: stand-alone VFL club; stand-alone AFL club; AFL-aligned club.

Perhaps it is proof the modernised VFL, formerly the VFA, can work despite the inclusion of five AFL stand-alone clubs, with St Kilda to increase it to six by 2016.

Coburg hoping for strong finish to the season in VFL as it begins to look towards next year

COBURG has its sights set on a strong finish to the Victorian Football League season as it looks to create a springboard into its second pre-season as a stand-alone side under coach Peter German.

The Lions still have just three wins to their name but see the last month of the season as a prime opportunity to add to their tally of victories.

A home match against North Ballarat kicks off the run home this Sunday ­before the Lions round out the season with clashes against Sandringham, Frankston and Casey.

“The last four games are all winnable,” Coburg ­general manager Craig Lees said.

“We’ve got four opportunities to play sides that won’t play in the finals and we could potentially finish the year off well. People are actually starting to look at Coburg now and see how they’re going and take ­notice of their ­results. Even our sponsors are really thrilled at how competitive we’ve been. But what we’ve got to do in the off-season is maintain the momentum that we’ve built but look to build on that next year.”
