Well it's not , get over it.No. It is a new competition. We did not simply join the VFL, it is a new competition entirely and as a result should have been called the ECFL.
Well it's not , get over it.
The VFL is officially dead and Carlton will field it’s first stand-alone reserves side for in 19 years in a new-look 22 team second tier competition to launch in 2021.
The AFL confirmed on Thursday that teams will play in the yet-to-be-named competition for the eastern seaboard, with clubs to be based in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria.
Of the 14 eastern seaboard AFL clubs, 11 will field standlone reserves teams with all the existing VFL clubs to be integrated in to the new competition.
Would it have been progressive to include a Tassie team. Most of us forget about Tassie when we draw Australia. It is sorta east coast.The VFL is dead as new second-tier comp confirmed

Sounds like a new competition to me. No mention of parts of the NEAFL merging into the VFL.
Paddy McCartin is just three weeks of contract training away from official AFL approval to return to games.
Former No.1 overall pick, McCartin will play with Sydney’s VFL side this year, but is yet to be fully ticked off by an AFL-appointed panel after repeated concussion issues.
Having trained for a month with Sydney, he is now a week into a month-long period of contact training that he must complete to be medically cleared.
Sydney’s VFL season does not officially start until April 17 against GWS, which could allow McCartin to play in that clash if given AFL approval.
Would the "reserves" be training with the seniors during the week?Would love to know how Paddy is looking in match sims.
Yeah I’m not 100 percent about that. Infact I’ve got no idea. Even if it’s reserves training. Just to get an idea of how he’s moving etc.Would the "reserves" be training with the seniors during the week?
Paddy is 1 week into 4 weeks of contact training, so that is the best start, we have 3 weeks to wait.Yeah I’m not 100 percent about that. Infact I’ve got no idea. Even if it’s reserves training. Just to get an idea of how he’s moving etc.
Best post EVERLiking the new title. Perhaps we can add.. tis but a scratch.. to the Injury thread
Actually Bedders I’m an old vic but the naming does matter here. There’s a sense from interstate clubs that they are in by invitation and the competition is Vic centric. Calling the second tier competition the VFL just feeds that.Well it's not , get over it.
I totally agree that it shouldn't be , but it won't change because a dumb name on here. It's just typical of the AFL. Everyone under AFL should just breakaway from themActually Bedders I’m an old vic but the naming does matter here.

Describe it as it is.
I actually kind of wonder whether Pridham’s review thing might not be a precursor to some sort of club revolution.I totally agree that it shouldn't be , but it won't change because a dumb name on here. It's just typical of the AFL. Everyone under AFL should just breakaway from them
From an article I read it just might be. AFL wanted to conduct the review in house and clubs apparently went ballistic. Not sure if that argument is still in progress or not.I actually kind of wonder whether Pridham’s review thing might not be a precursor to some sort of club revolution.
And I agree that the various local and junior competitions should break away. Their goals are incompatible.
Well as someone heavily involved at the bottom end of the whole footy thing, the outcomes are simply deplorable.From an article I read it just might be. AFL wanted to conduct the review in house and clubs apparently went ballistic. Not sure if that argument is still in progress or not.

The AFL won the fight. The review is being conducted in-house by the AFL. Just as the independent review requested by the Tasmanian Government into their Business Case for a team in Tasmania is now being conducted by Colin Carter, a former AFL Commissioner and President of Geelong.
The AFL always gets what it wants despite what its looks to the rest of us

OK not necessarily the most comprehensive review, but kudos to the media team for at least putting something out and getting some insight into the players' performances and the integration of the new ressies into the club.Update with Jeremy Laidler
