Note:

Over to you...

Just to expand upon something I mentioned in the broadcast section, the VFL has launched a brand new app for iOS and Android, which allows you to (amongst other things) follow the scores of all games in progress. I've included the links for both iOS and Android in the OP, but otherwise search for "VFL" in the respective stores.

One more avenue for the hungry online fan to get a score update, instead of posting and waiting 5 minutes for someone to respond...

Alas, no.

Had everything prepared and ready, but I've been sick as anything all day, so I pulled the pin on the trip.

If I was a horse, you'd shoot me. Yes, even a pinko champagne commie like you...
