TOPIC:

It makes a complete and utter mockery of those buffoons who insist the vfl was far more stronger than the WAFL and SAFL before the wce started up in 1987 gtr
There were many WAFL & SAFL sides that would have destroyed some of the vfl sides of the same era Claremont in 1981 a case in point!

BH and GTR: we should also keep in mind that, besides having to play mid week against supposed better sides from Victoria, they had to play at night, too, inspite of having no expereice of playing in such conditions.

The point that the pro Victorian miss on here is that, the top part of the VFL was only superior to our competition because of the presence of players from WA, SA and Tasmania.
