I see on the Western Bulldogs/VFL website that Footscray will play 4 blockbuster games at Whitten Oval, against Richmond, Carlton (Northern Blues), Essendon and Hawthorn (Box Hill.

When publicising Frankston games we use the name of the AFL partner as much as possible (with the partial exception of rivals Sandy and Casey) simply because it generates more interest. Unfortunately that's just how it is.
I think a better idea would be to call the site the AFL reserves with a few ex VFA clubs tacked on.
As we go forward with more and more AFL clubs fielding "reserves" teams in the VFL (sic)in the future its only a matter of time that ALl the Melbourne AFL clubs will have their on teams and they will out number whatever ex VFA clubs survive and I suspect some wont in their present form.
Just watch those Footscray games get all the PR when they are played.
