    At the same time as we are playing in Ballarat. Such dumb scheduling.

      Absolutely ludicrous scheduling. Why?

        The whole VFL competition is screwed, number of teams v number of games, the amount of byes leading to lack of player continuity. might as well just make it a VFL reserves competition only and run it so that fixturing can align.

          No wonder Ross Lyon is up in the air with draftee Alix Tauru getting 4 weeks by the tribunal, as he has to serve it within the VFL timing, and with the VFL team having two byes, he is in effect out for 6 weeks. They don't count the AFL Saints playing during the VFL bye

            I've watched the incident numerous times and it looks so innocuous. A collision between 2 players without any malicious intent. One comes off second best because he's shorter and a draftees debut season is largely ruined.

              I couldn't see much in it either. 6 weeks is ridiclous
