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.

Well that sucks

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.

Basket case of a competition!

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.

 

The good news is Casey will still be undefeated at the end of this round.

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
