Great to see they are making all the VFL games on TV or streaming this year. 

Teams not released on a Thursday night?

VFL: Corrigan keen for season of growth

“But Casey is already looking forward to giving opportunities to its younger brigade, including Roan Steele (Frankston YCW), Tyler Edwards (Rowville) and Matthew Buntine (GWS).”

…

‘Then we’ve got players like Roan Steele and Tyler Edwards who we are more than happy to see become their replacements.’

.…

Alongside the ever-reliable group of mature players including James Munro, Mitch White, Jack Bell and Aidan Quigley, Corrigan has plenty to be opportunistic about when he throws in the likes of AFL recruits Blake Howes and Taj Woewodin.

‘Both Blake and Taj have been super in their pre-season and haven’t missed a beat,’ Corrigan said.

‘In each practice match they’ve showed continual development and progression in their roles - we’re not putting a ceiling on where they can get to by the end of the year.’

Taj sounds like a natural footballer that isn't highly touted in the draft due to lack of a 'weapon' that ends up turning into a gun

I think Edwards was 51 and Steele 54.

The talk out of the pre season seems to all lean on Taj and Howes to lesser extent as the first year player most likely to debut. 

Mark Williams talked him up at a VFL function the other night and Riley Beveridge had him as a likely player that could debut early this season.

Taj and Howe really do excite me from watching absolutely no live games of either.

Last year there were times when you just couldn’t find the teams until start of play on the day of the game. 😀

With Taj, it is easy to forget his father’s story - which was, recruiters did not think he had enough talent and he was getting overlooked, but by sheer determination to make the most out of what he had, he forced his way into our list and ultimately to a Brownlow medal. Equally, with Taj, he was not seem to be particularly talented but he is obviously making the most of everything he has.

So do MFC members get in for free.

Yep

16 AFL listed. 
Casey’s defence obviously looks weak with us missing 4 premiership defenders in the AFL !!! Loss of Hutchins also reduces their key defender stocks.  Strange they didn’t look to bring in another key defender from the suburban leagues over the summer.

Buntine not playing hurts. Is Milford our CHB? Doubt McVee will be CHB. He didn't play last week so I know nothing about him.

They didnt have the injuries in Dec, Jan and Feb !!! Thats why!

I thought Brock Smith (delisted by Lions) was a good option for Casey this year and one still to watch. Not sure where he is playing in 2022. Was a strong rebound defender in 2019 drafted at pick 33 by Lions (captained Gippsland Power in 2019) . Showed some good parts in NEAFL comp but obviously not enough to remain on the list. 

Looking forward to this game at 1.05 today. Streaming on AFL website & app. Sandringham were mid-table last year but don't know how they recruited over Summer.

The good thing for those who can't watch it live is it looks like the full replay will (eventually) make it on to the AFL website. l checked Friday's VFL games yesterday and only the highlights were up but as of this morning the full replays were there.

try this link:

Very interested to see how Weed, Brown, JVR, Bedford and Chandler go

It's a pity it is on Sunday as any player in contention won't be able to play 4 quarters and then play friday night you wouldn't think?

How hard is it to get a decent umpire these days this is terrible
