It’s a joke of a competition just hopefully the day comes we have 20 Team AFL Reserves competition with St.Kilda,Hawthorn and Melbourne being in it .
Then Sandringham,Box Hill and Casey can go back to a re vamp VFA/VFL Competition with the other old clubs from the VFA or play in a Local Competitions EG:Eastern Western Region.

The money the AFL provides to fund the VFL would then be shifted to the AFL reserves.

How will you fund your proposed comp without AFL funding? It wouldn't be AFL Vic as they would need to ask the AFL for the money.

The end result will be that the AFL reserves will act in the same way that the VFL does now. Each AFLR club will have a supplementary list of somewhere between 15 and 30 players tied to a club and those players will play for a club in the EFNL, NFNL, EDFL, etc. just as they do now. The same will happen interstate - the WA clubs will have a supplementary list of WAFL players, the SA clubs with SANFL clubs, etc. In essence, it will be going back to what the VFL was doing in the 1970s and early 1980s.

There would be no purpose for a VFL/VFA in the AFL pathway as a result and your Heidelbergs, Keilors and Vermonts will be more inclined to stay in local football and be big fish anyway. My other worry is that if the AFL reserves does get up, some of the "VFA" clubs will struggle to be competitive or viable without their current AFL alignment and some might even struggle to attract players, who will go to local leagues for more cash instead.

The AFL will see no need for funding an additional layer due because there is an additional cost and because the AFLR will be fulfilling the purpose instead in its pathway.

Don't give me hope for round 1...

Add Riley Garcia to that list who damaged knee cartilage in the VFL and requires surgery.

Dogs are cursed at the moment.

Also worth mentioning the official AFL app has now properly implemented the VFL ladder and fixture this year (it was this weird web extension which didn't format the same as AFL/AFLW games on the app) but it works well now

I reckon the same thing gets mooted each year here. And an all stand alone VFL never will happen
