cheers eth-dogGreat game from the Seagulls, dominated from the start. Always happy to see Box Hill lose.
I did mention this some time ago but the competition is set for some massize changes. Will be a 2 tier competition with all the AFL standalone clubs and maybe 1 or 2 of the stronger original VFA clubs to play in the top tier. It's going to happen just a matter of when..
AFL Victoria haven't looked at this anywhere near hard enough yet. They have failed to pre-empt the obvious lobbying from the AFL clubs whom all are pushing for either stand alone VFL/AFL reserves or alignments where they have complete effective control over the single senior side (eg. Box Hill, Casey, Northern Blues).
With the Development league folding at end of 2017, it's hard to see how some stand alone VFL clubs would want to continue, let alone try to survive, if they are only permitted to field one team.
My guess is the full restructure will be complete by end of 2019, perhaps a year earlier, and the TAC teams will provide regional feeders for the AFL reserve competition's top up players who don't get drafted.
Almost back to supplementary lists which went out of fashion in about 1997?
Bit of a random question but which AFL-aligned VFL club would have the weakest non-AFL listed players?
Hard to know in off season as not many would know which non-AFL players are helping clubs like Geelong, Footscray, Richmond, Collingwood and Essendon that have AFL-aligned VFL teams.
Melbourne, Carlton, St.Kilda, Hawthorn and North Melbourne as yet have not got an aligned team. They have affiliate arrangements with VFA clubs. North were with two VFA clubs. Next year just Werribee. It is all mixed up in VFL.
North Ballarat were definitely the next weakest, followed by Casey. Werribee had half a dozen players that almost made an AFL list.Agree that it's all mixed up, but the common view is the AFL aligned VFL clubs are Casey (Melbourne aligned), Sandringham (St Kilda for one more year), Werribee (North Melbourne), Northern (Carlton) and Box Hill (Hawthorn).
Of those, in my opinion the Northern Blues lacked the most depth in their non-AFL list in 2015. Werribee were probably the next weakest.
Lists change dramatically from season to season though.

I judge on the performance in the seniors. Werribee's VFL players were better than their AFL players on many occasions."Almost" made an AFL list. According to.....
You can't get almost pregnant.
Their development side was rubbish. I don't think we can judge them purely on their next best best 10 (who I agree were very handy).
As a whole, their non-AFL list of 50 was sub-standard.
I judge on the performance in the seniors. Werribee's VFL players were better than their AFL players on many occasions.
Yet they still significantly outperformed NB.I just read the OP asking about which VFL club, and presumed they meant the club itself....not just the senior team.
Werribee clearly got the ordinary end of the North excess AFL listed player split.
Really? North Ballarats best players weren't North Melbourne listed players..I just read the OP asking about which VFL club, and presumed they meant the club itself....not just the senior team.
Werribee clearly got the ordinary end of the North excess AFL listed player split.
