    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
