    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
