Why would this game be in Blacktown? Why not play it as a curtain raiser to the AFL game in Canberra? Two different squads sent to two different cities to play against the same team. It makes zero sense.

Does it really surprise you that the AFL comes up with this scheduling?

What a shambolic organization.

I guess it's 3 x travel rather than 4?

GWS -> CBR
WB -> CBR
Foot -> Blacktown.

? Clutching.

I wonder if HQ is built up to 700 plus employees again. (pre covid numbers ) The only reason AFL succeeds is because we love the game, but admin wise they are pathetic.

Yes. But they can get in a bus and drive down. Also, half the squad needs to travel to ACT. Surely it is easier for coaches and other staff who need to be across both games.

Every VFL game is streamed. You can stream it from the AFL website or app. If you go to the VFL fixture there is a watch live link you can click. The link for our game isn't ready yet but will be active soon.

Great forward pressure. McComb 3 early touches. Goal to Hannan

Garner might have a week off. Could have been more but looks like the GWS player wasn't injured.
Bump to the head though, probably in trouble

Our foot skills are not good enough to be attempting to switch the ball in our defensive 50.

Giants lead 20-15

Agree. Frustrating to watch.
