Former VFL champion calls for new ‘Super League’ competition for Victorian football
With the VFL’s future unclear, a great of the league and suburban premiership coach believes the time is right for stand-alone and aligned clubs to be joined by local powerhouses in a new second-tier comp — and he’s happy for it to be called the VFA.

I am having a few issues with the voting poll function on the website so I have removed it for the time being.
However, I am interested to know (assuming crowds are allowed) whether we will see a resurgence in crowd numbers, particularly given less conflict with local footy comps this year. I think we could be in for bumper crowds.
Perhaps a cheaper membership option for first time sign-ups could really boost the finances of clubs.

Finally, community footy gets the green light.
The players from the defunct Northern Blues team are being giving the option of joining Sandringham for 2020 VFL season. I think this is a great idea.
as part of the season rumours suggest Josh Fraser will take up the vacant coaching role.
Thoughts?
AFL announced late today that the 2020 VFL season is happening with the 8 standalone clubs. A start date and a number of rounds etc. and fixture still to be determined.
NAB League will also return.
No news yet on VFLW
Good news at last. SA govt is allowing a crowd of 2000 to watch Adelaide v Port Adelaide on Saturday. With zero cases in Victoria in the last 24 hours hopefully Chairman Dan will follow suit and release the handbrake when footy starts.
