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: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
