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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
