Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2022 to forum members. Thanks to those who have contributed. I hope season 2022 will get back to (new) normal and we get a full set of games.
Tonight AFLW have announced that season opener between St Kilda and Richmond will be at Frankston's SkyBus Stadium on Friday January 7 at 7:15pm. Just 37 days from now.
just a fantastic effort from CEO Adrian Lloyd, President David Friend and the committee.
As a long time volunteer and life member of the club I am proud of how far the club has come to make it a destination club and venue. The hard work is starting to pay off.
The game will be telecast nationally on Channel 7 and Fox Footy and Internationally on WatchAFL.

THE VFL competition will return to an 18-game home and away season in 2022, an adjusted 23rd player rule has been reinstated, and clubs have been given a 10 per cent increase in their salary cap as part of a host of rule changes released by the AFL.
After 2021 was initially set down for 16 matches across 19 rounds, the new fixture will start on the weekend of March 26-27 and feature 22 rounds, with the 21 clubs receiving four byes each.
Matches, dates and starting times will again align with the AFL schedule wherever possible, but each club will receive nine home matches as they welcome their loyal members and supporters back to the footy.
The salary cap has been increased from $200,000 to $220,000 for VFL standalone clubs and from $100,000 to $110,000 for the AFL and AFL-aligned outfits, with a key concession added in a bid to encourage senior experienced players to remain in the competition and develop their coaching skills.
