Re: VFL practice match ? Reply #1 – March 28, 2025, 07:51:15 am Given it's Rnd 2 I doubt it.There are 21 teams, somebody, at least one team has a bye every week. Due to the interstate schedules and AFL conflicts, some weeks up to 5 or more sides have a week off. Quote Selected Last Edit: March 28, 2025, 07:53:25 am by LP
Re: VFL practice match ? Reply #2 – March 28, 2025, 09:27:37 am The earlier discussion was that we usually had a friendly hit out against either another VFL team with a bye or an u18 squad.We really need our boys to be playing every week to build fitness and cohesion. Quote Selected

Re: VFL practice match ? Reply #6 – March 28, 2025, 04:10:59 pm As I mentioned in this week's VFL thread, we're playing the Dogs. The game is at Footscray, start at 16:05.No idea as to who is playing, but Denver Grainger-Barass, who had been in Perth playing for Swan Districts, has been named in our 2025 VFL squad. I have no idea what that means. Quote Selected 1 Likes
