VFL announces Smithy’s as new partner
The Victorian Football League (VFL) is delighted to welcome Smithy’s on board as the competition’s new naming rights partner.
The board in conjunction with the past players committee is proud to announce the clubs VFL leading goal kicker award from season 2022 onwards will be proudly named after our two greatest ever goal kickers. This award is presented each year to the player who has kicked the most goals for the club in that VFL season.
The Bonnett-Cook Leading Goal Kicker Award
Bob Bonnett (1933 – 11 May 2018)
From The Age website:
Collingwood have listed former Melbourne star defender and new development coach Neville Jetta as one of the club’s top-ups under the AFL’s COVID-19 contingency plan.
Jetta is one of a number of well-known ex-AFL names who have been placed on standby by clubs. Essendon have Shaun McKernan – the ex-Bomber who was on St Kilda’s list – on their list of 20 top-ups, while distinguished ex-Bomber David Zaharakis, a best and fairest at Essendon, is a top-up for 2021 premiers Melbourne.

Wondering if anyone has further insight into this.....the Dolphins were scheduled to play a night game this coming weekend against Frankston Bombers......would have been very interesting to see one of the MPNFL's better sides taking on the VFL team (and with the Bombers having a number of ex-Dolphins on their list), but it seems the VFL have scuttled the idea due to some crap about exposure to covid by playing a team outside of the league. Surely not?
