Sad day indeed.
For those of us old enough to remember the old VFA, Sunday arvo in front of the TV watching channel 0 (now 10)...Preston was powerhouse Club. Their rivalry with Coburg and Port Melb gave us some brilliant games
VFA and then VFL were fantastic
Preston had the huge rivalry with Coburg
Port Melbourne main rival is definitely Williamstown
The AFL has no interest in the standalone Vic clubs .. it’s brutal
Supporting grassroots my arse
Back on the 1970's (showing my age) Williamstown was in Div 2, so Preston and Port had a rivalry going
The 3 big Clubs were Port, Preston and Coburg. Always seemed every week at least one of those 3 teams would be on the TV. Geelong West got a look in occasionally, ditto Prahran
The old VFA comp was great.
The moment the AFL took over the VFA comp, changed the name to VFL so many clubs were doomed
I used to follow Yarraville, as it was close to home. They were in Div 2.
Good old days
