^^^ So, I can legitimately leave the ground early when the going gets tough this week?

I am going to be there this week. If anyone wants to have a kick let me know. I got a brand new Sherrin for Xmas which I havent even kicked yet.

I wish someone had addressed that...

So yes, unless you have the ability to teleport, there will be a clash with the seniors, which means if you want to go to both, you should leave no later that three quarter time at the VFL...

Well, yeah, you have a legitimate excuse, but with all due respect to Coburg, I think we'll bounce back hard this week...

That is the Stupid Schedueling by the VFL

I don't know why they couldn't of scheduled it for Sunday. Or at worst, bring the start time forward by 30 minutes.

They were able to move Richmond vs Williamstown at a moment's notice because Punt Road was unavailable, but they keep on scheduling clashes of VFL and AFL games for us.

And we have another one of these we take on Frankston later in the year...

So many reasons why the scheduling is stupid and looks to me to be a deliberate attempt to disrupt our preparation for the North game.

The worst part is that three ready and raring to go AFL emergencies will once again be missing out on footy this weekend at a time in their personal preparation when they desperately need game time.

So the VFL is Anti-Collingwood like the AFL?

Shows why we should have a Reserve Comp and Leave the VFL

We only had eleven AFL players in last week. I'm hoping that number is closer to fourteen when the team is announced shortly. I'm going to this one and hoping to see Karnezis and well as Adams and Dwyer who will strengthen the midfield a lot.
