Revamped VFL

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

I doubt it. The old VFL had 18 rounds if I recall.

This is all about money saving and getting effectively scratch matches for the cheapest price. Integrity of the comp will come a long second.

The other thing about that tweet is what is meant by "stand alone teams". Is that referring to the likes of Port Melbourne etc. If so you could have around 19-20 teams in the comp.

Just noticed KC from Casey posted a link to a Herald Sun report saying that the Northern Bullants would be a stand alone club come 2021.

Where does that leave Carlton, are they going to have there own seconds team?

    Yes I believe 24 teams across conferences and potential for cross over matches with actuaries working through the draw and revolving fixtures.  NASA is being consulted by Gil to add more complexity and ensure everyone is totaled confused and bamboozled by the mess being created.

    on which side of the ledger?

    The right one, fortunately. He was down back for a while, but got so cold the coach moved him forward to prevent his joints siezing and he played a role, spearing the pill onto the chest of the winner of the Victorian U12's Lockett Look-a-like Comp.

    I don't like the sound of this.

     

    It screams of the AFL trying to have their cake and eat it to. In order to ensure that the NSW & Qld reserves teams are playing in a better standard competition, lets just dilute the competition that we have in Victoria to do so...

     

    Personally I would of thought having the NSW teams join the VFL and the Qld teams join the SANFL would have been a better option and would probably have been more cost effective. But that's just me???

    There's too much common sense and logic in this solution.

    As with every aspect of our once great game, It needs "to be Gil'ed"

    I.e. made as illogical and confusing as possible therefore slowly murdering the game.

    Savvy move to work on the foundational 2 nd tier comp.

    Can't be long before he turns his murderous hands to Auskick somehow.

    Any new yet regarding the make up of this comp ??

    Hope it goes back to Clubs reserves less complicated and ensures continuity of playing group and training

    Interstate teams fly II guess

    They cannot work out how many players teams at senior level are allowed yet. I think the reserves is running a bad second. Why you would want to start a competition with teams flying around the country in a virus affected year of 2021 is absolutely beyond me.

    If the AFL bubble is with us for a while in 2021 it makes it very difficult to have a full second team comp as the top up players will need to live and work outside the bubble

    I think it falls into that category of " felt like a good at the time" DJ.

    Oh dear, Gil must have smoked the grass the took from the G, this is looking a mess?

    Who was the rocket scientist who decided that the grass was a good idea and how much did it cost. Do they really think any Geelong or Richmond supporter gives a stuff? I know a few Richmond people and they are laughing themselves silly.

    publicity stunt by rebel sport, and about $100k, plus various contracts for companies to dig up, transport, re-plant etc.

    What a waste of $100k , these are the same people that tell the players you will have to take a pay cut. Beggars belief.

    nah, rebel has said nothing of the sort

    when a company offers you $100k plus the jobs that it creates to do a (pretty silly) publicity stunt i imagine the afl nearly bit their hands off taking the cheque from them

    certainly doesn't look like a way to cut costs

    With the scrapping of the major second tier competitions on the east coast of the country due to COVID-19 for 2020, there will be a single replacement in 2021 meaning that the VFL and the old VFA will be no more. The NEAFL has been disbanded and the clubs that made up the previous competitions have been asked to lodge “expressions of interest” with the AFL by tomorrow.

    At this stage we know that Melbourne will persevere with its Casey Demons alignment while Carlton have scrapped the Northern Blues (although this could see the return of the Preston Bullants. NEAFL club, the Canberra Demons has stated that it won’t take part in the new competition.

    There may well be more than 20 teams in the new league next year with plenty of changes in the way the competition is conducted.

    KPI #1 - have an even number of teams, to avoid the ludicrous situation where returning / recovering players are denied opportunities to play into form and press their claims due to recurring byes.  

    With the feeder competitions often starting and ending weeks after / before the AFL dates, having the bye in round 1 is even more of a disadvantage.

    Very good point, especially as many of the players in the feeder competitions also need to have a real job as well.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
