VFL today

Didnt see the game but from the highlights it looks like Cal Moore is going from strength to strength.

Was Markov the most likely promotion?

I'm recalling 1973 watching theU19s, reserves and then the big boys win at the MCG.

If my recollection is correct, the suburban affiliated side, can't recall the suburb, won the 4th's.

C'mon history buffs, please confirm.

If I'm wrong about '73, then it was the following year as I attended both the '73 and '74 GFs.
it was '73 as the slogan was four more in seventy four the next year. Essex Heights was our so called "fourths".

Yep in 73, we won everything of memory, even the little league. I think its in the Herald GF colour lift out souvenir but I don't know where I have it to confirm 100%

From memory we lead the goal kicking for u19s, 2s and 1s... Peter Lane, Mark Jackson and Michael Roach.
Thats right think BT was still in WA in 1980

Does your membership card get you in or give you a discount to get into the VFL gf?

Lol.

Goddess checked online yesterday n I think the admin price to Eddiehead was some ridiculous amount like $23.33. believe there's also a booking fee of about $7.50 per transaction as well.

Old Maso might need to go into hibernation for a while if he does Prelim win sat. Magoos Granny win sun. Granny sat week with a big fat victory thrown in as well. Got a feeling I'll be suffering a massive does of finals fatigue.
 
The highest attendance figure for a VFL Grand Final at Etihad Stadium is 23,816 for the Footscray v Box Hill 2014 GF. Can we smash that one out of the park?
 
Anyone else notice how much Jayden Short looks like Geoff Raines when he runs, he's got the same smooth loping slightly hunched over running action.
Gee if he turns out to be half the player Rainesy was it'd be great
 
I like Shorty.

Was looking at him and thinking he runs like someone.

TT half as good I will take.

Hope he isn't in any trade discussions.
 
Thought Chol did some nice things, didn't dominate but had a hand in 4 goals.

Quick, give him the number 4 now. The guy that's wearing it is embarrassing it.

He runs similar to our former great no.8 Kayne Pettifer, hunched over.

Has filled out nicely as well.

Good thing is he can down back or up forward.

Callum Moore is another one. Not your traditional KPF but can play tall or small. Has kicked around 8 goals this finals campaign. Not a bad effort.

$25 seems reasonable for a Grand Final (and two other matches being played).
