VFL: 2023 Fixture

[Demonland 66,839]

Thank you for that. Why is it that the  AFL/VFL persist with this one round at a time release? I know it is to keep us all paying attention but I find it extremely frustrating. Publish the lot please!

Fingers crossed the Casey Demons get to play on Fankhauser Reserve this season.

[kev martin 9,327]

A MFC volunteer told me that the practice match out at Casey will be curtain raised by the VFL, Casey versus Richmond. Maybe a start just after 12 midday.

AFL, Saturday March 4th, Melbourne v Richmond, Casey Fields, 4.10pm

One token round is it ? Tricky Gil appears to be still floating about.

Cant ask them to work too hard and get the draw out before March.

Does Casey have a reserve side or do the non selected players just go back to their local clubs

Yep, beggars belief and in another example of how competent (not) the people are running the show, apparently we play W'bee on Sat 27 March. Any sort of cursory check would reveal it's meant to be May. Anyone can make a mistake and they both start with "M" so I wasn't going to be critical. However we're listed to play Collingwood on Sat. 11 June, problem is 11 June is a Sunday. Doesn't anyone at AFL house know how to read a calender!

they started the season early because of only one practice match thus another bye at VFL level

It's a mickey mouse comp unfortunately

The May one could easily be a typo snd it's well known we play aPies on the Sunday at Casey  as in the last few years. 
Also it's prob not the AFL getting out this draw but the VFL and Smithy's  fault.

Mickey Mouse  enough for our Casey Dees ( About 14/15 Dees players involved ) to be PREMIERS.  
Do you really know how hard it is to Run a competition over 3 states  with 21 Teams?  
Served us well last year as a training ground and will give us our next Full forward for the next 10 years. Provides football for all our players as well.

Correct 2nds sides ceased a few years back. 

[old dee 23,256]

And we don’t play Richmond what gives! It’s a joke really. At least I get to go to windy hill and coburg.

The point I was making is that it's not a competition league.

It's a training device.... don't confuse that with a genuine competition

The inclusion of the interstate teams was to aid their training but by doing so it marked the end of what was a flawed but reasonable competition

Hoping the Sandringham game is at nearby TBO

It might be called VFL but it's run by the AFL. Do you really think the Major sponsor of the comp actually does the fixture? If it's well known we play the Pies on the Sunday then why the mistake? My original comment is not about the person that made the mistakes. It's about the incompetence of management that doesn't have processes in place to check things. I guess a lot of people don't proof read these days do they?

Three of them within an 8 week period at the back end of the year - good luck trying to keep players fit on the fringes of the team.

Ask our Premiership VFL players if they don't floor you before they answer you! 

Yes WAFL and SANFL May be better organised but VFL would still rate above those comps, even with the byes. 

You may not realise that AFL have 2 byes per team and very little criticism there. 

BTW Have you seen any matches recently ? 
Last years VFL Dees Finals ?

No I am guilty of not proofing my posts regularly but the KB weekend match is well known and always on TV!

The other is easily identified and only ONE letter a R for aY. 

I have never met a group of fusspots as the D/L core of VFL trajics and critics.

Items such as fixtures, byes, eligibility, times of day and prob the most important alignment with the corresponding AFL match that weekend.

It also appears you only read half a post before launching into defence mode. I don't think I'm a fusspot, holier than thou, pedantic and a believer in paying attention to detail, yes. I tend not to suffer fools gladly either. What can I say, I'm a flawed human being.
