    Not on Kayo, so waiting on Ch7. Our game is 3rd Vs 5th so should be match of the round but just watch Woods Vs Blues get the nod. 7th vs 14th a Blockbuster in the making.

    The powers that be in the AFL/VFL aren’t demonstrating that they’re particularly interested in the proper promotion of community interests and football. The Pink Lady match is getting short shrift so don’t expect anything from them or 7 on the subject of the match of the round in this competition.

    Does anyone know if VFL games will be going ahead this weekend?

    The VFL is a complete sham of a farce.

    It’s not their fault but Southport is currently in second place with nine games for eight wins. That sounds like a fantastic record in any competition and the Sharks could not have done much more to get into that position. But ...

    They were drawn to play the lowly Northern Bullants this week in what I considered a danger game for them. Why? The Bullants have won a few games of late and are playing with great spirit and look at who Southport have played to date -

    Round 1 Carlton (14th) win by 1 point

    Round 2 Apsley (21st) win by 14 points 

    Round 3 UWS Giants (8th) lose by 30 points

    Round 4 North Melbourne (18th) win by 107 points

    Round 5 Apsley (21st) win by 109 points 

    Round 6 Gold Coast (15th) win by 83 points

    Round 7 Northern Bullants (17th) postponed 

    Round 8 Sydney Swans (19th) win by 15 points

    Round 9 Bye

    Round 10 Brisbane Lions (16th) win by 107 points

    Round 11 Gold Coast (15th) postponed 

    Round 12 Bye

    Round 13 Brisbane Lions (16th) win by 109 points

    Round 14 Northern Bullants (17th) postponed/bye

    To come Werribee (10th), Coburg (13th) Frankston (6th) and (for the third time this year) ... Brisbane Lions who they’ve beaten twice by more than 100 points.

    This needs no further comment.

    I think that it’s time for another change at the top, time for Gil to hand over to someone anyone that understands Aussie Rules football. vFL is borderline shambles, so many rule changes that the Magoos heads are spinning. We need some reality injected into the AFL ASAP.

    It is well past due time for the VFL competition to be better administered and conducted, with improved coverage, status and alignment to AFL clubs and supporters, such as pre-main game fixtures, venues and promotion, for example.

    Some of us supporters really miss the 'reserves' competition as it was formerly known; it represented a whole day at the footy in one venue, providing tremendous information flows to crowds of supporters on their team and that of opposition sides, and to their attendees.

    I was staggered when I looked at the VFL schedule at the start of the season - so many teams it reminded me of the old County Cricket system before they brought in the Divisions - which is precisely what the VFL (or - AFL2?) needs.  Teams need to be incentivized to do better, and be challenged to do so - not just play a collection of wooden spooners every week.  It isn't a  real competition that promotes the game, improves players or entertains the fans.

    Need to revert back to AFL Reserves comp, under full control of AFL. AFL clubs only permitted. No Southport, Apsley, Port Melb et al. Stuff em, time to make this ressies just like the old days and if you havent got a reserves side, get one quick or stiff luck!

    Have posted before there is minimal incentive to increase crowds at VFL matches.

    Crowds cost money... attendants, toilets cleaning etc

    The direction givien to the working party on the redesigned VFL was to save money and as part of that to better integrate the VFL schedule with the AFL schedule (playing the same  teams on a weekend etc).

    The real question is why did they include the old stand alone clubs and in particular the interstate stand alone clubs. Was it part of a government funding package perhaps. I have no idea and it makes no sense.

    If I was a conspiracy theorist you could say that they have set up a competition that must fail so they can close it down. The reality is that it is probably another stuff up.

    FWIW other than the number of byes the old VFL/AFL comp while not the best worked reasonably well in my view.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
