Re: 2018 VFL Rd 1: Northern Blues vs Collingwood Reply #5 – April 05, 2018, 09:49:34 pm Yep the three pie players you mentioned would make a big difference for them. However got a suspicion there may be a late change before the game.

We've equaled the numbers a few times, but the quality will remain a question until we see them win regularly.
Re: 2018 VFL Rd 1: Northern Blues vs Collingwood Reply #12 – April 06, 2018, 11:54:01 am Back room rumors of a resolution on a proposal to restore a reserves comp are getting stronger.It looks like it's going to happen this time because some at the top of AFL House have shifted to support it. When though is unsure, it looks like it will be 2 or 3 years out.In association with this, it looks like there will be changes to draft age rules and some other recruit related issues to allow the new competition to get of the ground. It looks like the new comp will borrow a bit from the AFL and a bit from the TAC Cup to have a comp that has kids playing alongside men. Last Edit: April 06, 2018, 11:56:13 am by LP
