700th Cricket Victoria match this week for legendary umpire Bill Sheahan. He reached Test and ODI level, has overseen almost 500 @vicpremcricket First XI games, and countless school, representative and social fixtures. And he's not out yet. ๐
Congratulations to Storm. 2020 Premiers. However, GF could easily have gone to Panther. Half-time score did not reflect 1st half action. Panther 20-4 second half, showed possibilities. Panther ran out of time. Cameron Smith said โIf it goes another 2 mins, I just donโt knowโ.
Hear of a renewed push to get VFA champions Fred Cook and Jim โFrostyโ Miller into the Australian Football Hall of Fame. Both prolific goalkickers, both immensely popular in association football, both worthy candidates.
I would think that Williamstownโs results since being stand alone from 2014 justifies their decision to end the alignment #werentgoingtobedisrespected
@curry_brendan Correct, more saying that both clubs went it alone and that moment changed things for the dogs forever.
Also things have changed from the days Willy had to chip in to get Liam Picken on the rookie list.
@LukePGavin @MickMCG34 Also the dogs, 2014 cut ties with Williamstown.
2014 premiers
2016 premiers
2016 AFL Premiers
Having a stand-alone VFL side along with a foundation side in the AFLW has been a big reason as to why they are 1/6 clubs moving forward unassisted.
side not willy 2015 premiers.
Five days since the demise of the Northern Blues, their president of 13 years, Steve Papal, has heard not a sound from the AFL or VFL, no message of any sort to acknowledge the end of a 138-year-old Victorian football club. Thatโs more than disappointing.
Itโs a disgrace.
