Oh FFS, a bye!  A few of our Casey players must be thrilled (not) to sit out a weekend rather than push their cases for selection. JVR, Laurie, Chandler, etc. Hopeless fixturing.

    Yep, just scrap it, form new vfl with the victorian afl clubs and include the likes of Williamstown, Port Melbourne and perhaps Werribee then just leave it alone.

    Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Casey also has a bye on the weekend of 6/7 August.

    Then Carlton and Brisbane, I assume in Brisbane. Then finals.

    3 Victorian sides have a bye. Why? When can we finally admit this competition hasn’t worked for 10 years and pack it in?

    It's atrocious, especially from a skill level, the VFL has NEVER been as low skill, as it is this year.

    Agree... packs on packs

    Reduce players on field to 16 for the second half to increase skills. First half they can have 18 to emulate AFL if they have to

    The VFL bye may have been co-ordinated with our Alice Springs game so the whole squad can travel there for community involvement.

    And these atrocious byes is something that we may have to look forward to if Gillon gets his 19th team,  in Tasmania.

    We'll need two byes for every team unless we reduce the season to 18 games

    No thanks

    In the VFL the byes are a function of trying to reduce costs

    • 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.
