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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    • 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.
