Loved to see the dolphins win. Tough game playing Southport away but you never know. Are you making the trip robbo ?

The atmosphere and buzz from the Frankston v Casey game was amazing.  I've been watching the old VFA dating back to the late 60s and Saturday night would rate as one of the best. The atmosphere on the hill is as good as it gets. Night footy at Frankston is a winner. If the dolphins can some how get a win at Southport the support for Frankston will be massive come grand final day. Southport are a very good team though and might be tough for the dolphins but you never know.  You got to be in it to win it.

VFA you're spot on.....the atmosphere at these Frankston games just continues to get better and better. My memory from the 80s might be hazy, but I can't recall anything quite like this. The tension at the 25 minute mark on Saturday night was like any AFL final. The boys have most definitely caught the local imagination. 

Southport......well, don't think away finals get tougher than this. The Sharks have a point to prove after not quite getting there two years running. I just hope to see a Frankston team that throws everything at them and doesn't mentally destroy themselves like they did v Footscray. I think lessons were learnt that day, but we will find out for sure on Saturday. I think our boys would love another tilt at the Dogs.....it's all there to play for.
