I really don’t get this theory that they are more likely to get injured playing AFL than VFL. They are playing full games in the vfl. They are going full throttle to try and get a call up. They are not managed. If anything I would bet they play more minutes in vfl than when called up.
I have a couple of membership bar codes you could use if you want them
Anyone keen to watch this game

It's possible. I see it different though.
I see it as, in the VFL you can manage a players minutes and you can play that player in a wide variety of roles to get the training or outcome you desire without much consequence.
In the AFL, you need to be 100% fit and ready to go and conditioned to your role, you can't just got sit behind the ball or hide in a position to get the feel of the game. If you or the team is 5-10% down, you get cut up.
If you get tired or are stuffed by 3/4 time in the 2nds you can be rested and the VFL side takes a hit and its ok as its for the greater good of the club. If you are stuffed by 3/4 time in the AFL and you need to be managed the whole club suffers.
Fingers crossed Charlie and Willo (and all others for that matter) get through unscathed.

Game Day Bitches!
This bitch is working. Our fixture this year really does not suit me.
They don’t manage their minutes in the vfl. Only in the first game or two back sometimes. Willo has played two full games back. So at each moment they have the same probability of injury due to load. If anything you’ve seen at afl level that (a) they get managed more and (b) any possible sign of injury they get pulled, not managed.
