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)

https://www.livesport.com/au/afl/australia/vfl/standings/

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

 

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

I can only think that they were brought in to give the interstate teams some local games.

Not  a great fan of conferences but it would be better than this big dane's breakfast


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.

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.

 

Gil is on his way out of the tent with a little luck the new person ( almost typed man ) will see junior leagues and the vfl as an area that needs a lot of work and improvement. 

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


Ryan Koo is a former NGA prospect for the Dees.

Though, I'm pretty sure he's still eligible even though he finished up at Dandenong Stingrays last year.

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.

They belted Geelong seconds last night, almost doubling their score.

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.

Casey look pretty potent with 16 AFL listed players, let’s hope that they keep winning.!!

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

Bet you he does not go gentle into the good night

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
