Am I correct in assuming one of Tholstrup, Brown or Hore will be held over for tonight's game?

All three will be held over!

Surely there's a better alternative than playing this match on the same day as the senior match?

What's wrong with Sat or Sunday?

    Day release from prison is easier one day of a week than 2 for those Richmond supporters

    Is the game on Kayo, or just the crappy afl app?

    No longer on Kayo Buck.

    Crank up your mobile or laptop and enjoy.

    But don't try and cast it to your TV.  The AFL reckon that's a little too much luxury for us VFL riff-raff.

    Whatever happened to Bell?  Had a reasonable season in 2021.  Stepped things up at times in 22 and a flag.

    2023 unsighted from what i recall and now sits on the emergency list?

    Played some games last year including being named on interchange bench in the VFL final against the Bulldogs. It was not an auspicious occasion. Suspect he is playing with Old Haileybury in the amateurs Section B.

    Yeah that one. 

    You could screen mirror your phone to the TV but the quality will be garbage and you can't use your phone for anything else.

    Not for me, I get really good quality. I suggest you at least give it a try.

    The clubs have a big say in VFL structure. I think it's time the AFL came clean on what if any vision they have for the competition. The reality is that as a competition it's dying. That in itself may be no problem. Several years ago I posted that it was not necessarily in the interests of the competition to increase crowd numbers as that would require new toilets, staffing etc.

    The byes have also dramatically impacted any form of competitive integrity

    Teams who have byes often arrange scratch matches against other clubs, as we did a week or so ago.  That can be very useful as you can trial things without compromising your VFL results. From an AFL perspective that could be very useful and of greater benefit than a VFL game.

    And prepare yourselves for AFL byes, yes more of them, courtesy of some [censored] named Gil for introducing a 19th team and not replicating a team that already has Tasmanian connections.  
    The farcical scheduling will become even more inequitable.

    Don't disagree but the logical conclusion of your proposition is scrap the VFL and replace it with closed door scratch matches.

    That works fine for Melbourne teams but one of the reasons we have the present dysfunctional competition is that we admitted interstate clubs who were complaining that their local competition standard was inadequate

    Why?  There's room for both, genuine competitive stuff and trail matches.  You need a genuine competitive competition, and players need to experience that and trial matches are self explanatory.  So, there is no logical conclusion to scrap the VFL in my proposition.

    How about we have a dedicated AFL reserves competition? If that's too expensive then at least have a Victorian Reserves League - and let the standalone VFL teams play in their own separate  competition.

    The Victorian Reserves League could play all their games on a Sunday afternoon, (allowing for emergencies from Thur-Sat games to play most games), and have extended benches so that players can be better managed (eg someone returning from injury might just play 3/4 of a game etc).

    Reserves as the curtain raiser to the seniors worked for a very long time, and is fondly remembered.  It still works for nearly every non-AFL competetion in the nation.

    Turnover gave them that on a dinner plate.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
