The VFL system is broken if teams play two matches over four rounds to accommodate a bye. This is especially so when clubs vying for finals places need to give all their players the best chance of getting a game.

According to Simon Goodwin, there won't even be a scratch match - just extra training to give the players an opportunity to run the usual distance and carry normal match workloads.

Still – bad luck for those on the cusp of selection like Brodie Grundy, Charlie Spargo, and a few others.IMG_4180.thumb.jpeg.caabf0457d41161c1ad6940f2d6afb1b.jpeg

    The limited fixture this weekend will suit a few of the teams in the race for “wild card” positions. Casey needs to win a couple of their remaining games to do that.IMG_4181.thumb.jpeg.240d0bbc5e367d3b8674e977a6e07b5a.jpeg

    Just wait until the AFL have 19 teams and the Dees get a bye in Round 1, and the power clubs just happen to get them perfectly spread out throughout the season.

    I wonder who they will give the Bye in Round 24? A suspected bottom team or one who is likely to be in finals contention which would mean two weeks off before finals.

    The Dees. Rounds 1 and 24.

    It's bye 2 that I have difficulty with. You have 18 games for all clubs and you have completed the fist bye. Then you have five games in which to complete the second bye for all clubs. You could accelerate the second bye for some clubs but then you would have a ladder for a lot of the year where some clubs have played 2 games less than others.

    Of course if you drop the last five clubs out of the comp after the completion of 18 games you don't need a second bye.

    Think a few players are doing the last of their in season reload.  Oliver will come back at 100% and looking to rip the doors off. With this bye, All our reserves get load without impact- perfect for our firsts, not so good for Casey

    No problem with the old VFA clubs in the comp. It's the byes and the reduced number of games that kill the comp.

    Given the absence of WA and SA from the comp there's still room for at least 4 non aligned clubs

    Surely that would be enough reason  to scrap the pre-finals bye

    Need for two conference system again with wildcards and playoffs and other American style imported gimmicks. VFL is a pseudo east coast made up competition.

    Reports in News.com that former Casey player Nick Lowdon has passed age 23.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
