Coburg has a debutant playing tomorrow named Dylan Thomas. I hear he’s poetry in motion.

It  must be tough as a player. You have to put up with umpire incompetence and if you show any sort of dismay they hit you with a 50m penalty for dissent. Maybe the AFL should concentrate on improving

no injuries or suspensions please.

Used to like the VFL but the comp is now so lopsided you have to wonder

Here's the ladder (only round 3 and already some teams have had byes)

Better get used to byes - Gillian seems determined to inflict this further inequity as his parting gesture. 😡😡

21 teams is ridiculous in this expanded VFL.

Plus it should technically only be Victorian sides.

I am ok with 18 teams in the VFL but mine would be the following:

1) Casey Demons

2) Box Hill Hawks

3) Coburg Lions

4) Collingwood Magpies

5) Essendon Bombers

6) Footscray Bulldogs

7) Frankston Dolphins

8) Geelong Cats

9) North Melbourne Kangaroos

10) Port Melbourne Borough

11) Richmond Tigers

12) Sandringham Zebras

13) Werribee Tigers

14) Williamstown Seagulls

15) Carlton Blues

16) St. Kilda Saints

17) Preston Bullants (prefer them to keep their old name rather the Northern Bullants)

18) North Ballarat Roosters

We should also look to develop a 2nd tier VFA competition (with all the old VFA clubs) with different divisions and if a team is good enough in the VFA and win enough Premierships they can eventually be promoted to the VFL. Anyway, it is merely a suggestion. I just want to see strategies put in place to develop and grow grassroots football.

Good to see an article about one of the Casey listed players on the MFC site. 

Driving the standards – Ellison’s unique journey is only starting

He’s starting to look like a very handy late bloomer.

Also mentions Matt Buntine as a team leader but we’ve yet to sight him wearing the colours. Presume he’s injured but I haven’t seen any reports on why he’s been out.

Has anyone seen the justification for the inclusion of the Southport Sharks etc.

I hate it as well. As far as I'm aware it was all done to give Swans, Giants, Lions and Suns reasonable competition and the NEAFL wasn't financially sustainable. Especially after the effects of COVID and another competition needing to be proped up. Southport I think decided to join the expanded VFL as they didn't want to go back to the QAFL given they've dominated it for so long.

I get the AFL wanting the Northern states to have better reserves competition, but don't see why it should have all fallen on the VFL.

Personally I reckon you could have had Swans and Giants join the VFL along with a team from Tasmania and Canberra for a 20 team comp. Play 21 rounds with one bye each and only one team you play twice. Rename it the SEAFL (South East Australia Football League).

Lions and Suns should have joined the SANFL along with a team from the NT. Get a 13 team competition played over 22 rounds with two byes each. Rename it SANAFL (South Australia Northern Australia Football League). That way you have three major reserves/secondary competitions that cover every state and territory, creating a pathway for all in their home states.

Southport Sharks!!... you may as well have Manangatang East Ressies

The Sharks are a particularly strong side from a particularly strong club .JacobTownsend,Jacob Dawson Aidan Fyfe ,Billy Gowers and Boyd Woodcock were all AFL players last season .The Sharks even recruited our Jay Lockhart and Zac Foot.They are cut above The likes of Coburg Preston Willy and will help list the standard of the VFL.A shame Aspley handed back its licence as they would have been good also.

Would be interested to find out if Howes is being rested or if he’s this week’s mystery injury?

Also what’s the story with Matt Buntine who is Casey’s #1 recruit for 2022?

Not against this idea.

I just think each state should have their own independent football league to grow and develop grassroots football.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
