Not a great time for the VFL to have a bye!! We needed to get a game into Fisher, more work into Kemp and Carroll and possibly some limited game time for Charlie and McGovern. Now it’s all put back another week.😡

Indeed. It may cover for a loss, but I would prefer to see the 2's playing. With a couple of guys coming back, they need time on the park, not on the pine.
If the AFL is serious about the second tier competition, the VFL should start on the same weekend as the AFL. If there has to be a bye, it should coincide with the AFL bye rounds and teams should not have their bye on the same weekend as their AFL counterparts.
The point of the Reserves competition should be to provide opportunities for players to get back to match fitness, find form and press for selection.
