The AFL is considering a major change to the pathway into the game that would impact heavily on teenage Victorian footballers, their studies and the passage into the AFL.

The AFL is contemplating changing the elite junior competition that provides about half their players – the NAB League – from an under-18 to an under-19 competition, but still favours keeping the minimum draft age at 18.

Could SkyBus Stadium host AFL games with no crowds? There is a hub that could be on Mornington Peninsula. It makes sense given the close proximity to the potential hub. floodlights currently being installed.

well done on the club for putting a submission in

No one knows if and when season will start but tonight Frankston had their season launch via zoom app.

well done to President Peter Geddes for putting it together.  All the players were introduced plus they could let us supporters and members know about where they came from. The coaches were also introduced. 
 

it went for around 95 mins and plenty logged on.

also part of the night 2 new No.1 ticket holders were announced.

Andrew Jarman revealed on Dead Set Legends yesterday that Port Adelaide's existence in the SANFL was in major doubt. 

Jars had been in contact with senior SANFL officials who told him that Port are unlikely to be part of the competition going forward. 

I thought I should re-post this from Camberwell stalwart Roy Kennedy in relation to the recent death of Camberwell's Michael Boweden.  Michael's sons, Rhett, Sean and Kane also played Port Melbourne in the 90s. Michael was still heavily involved in football community and will be sadly missed.
