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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
