Clubs like Coburg have less fans/support/cash than some of the big suburban clubs like Vermont. They find it hard now to find players. Once they are no longer the tier below the AFL, any 20 year olds not drafted who aspire to play AFL will want to be in AFL clubs top up lists, and those a little...

I am not so sure. There would be a major drop in profile for the clubs/sponsors, and reduced exposure for players hoping to further their career. I doubt any ‘new VFA’ would collapse within 12 months. But, yes, the clubs should be working on any contingency plan now. If the AFL decides to cut...

Where did you see/hear/read this?

Being a Sunday there should be plenty of spots around.

Bit early in the day! Sunday arvo @ Box Hill would be better, but I assume the AFLW rates better.

Simply hopeless.

Eastern Football League is the biggest comp in Melbourne. Reckon EAFL. Pretty sure an all Interstate GF would be played at the home venue of the highest qualified team.

Saturday August 27 First Qualifying Final, Casey Demons (1st) vs. Sydney Swans (4th) Casey Fields, 1:05pm AEST Broadcaster: Seven Network Second Qualifying Final, Brisbane Lions (2nd) vs. Southport Sharks (3rd) Moreton Bay Sports Complex, 1:35pm AEST Broadcaster: AFL.com.au Sunday August 28...

Usually only the top 2 teams get home finals the first week. All other finals up to GF are usually at Port Melbourne and telecast on Ch7. You could be unlucky here.

Wow. That is a strange set of priorities. Box Hill City Oval is free we can play it here.

You're a week late with the VFL GF. AFL GF is scheduled for 24/9 so VFL GF will be 18/9. And yes, should be a 20 game comp. VFL reserves and even U19s always played 22. Reckon the Qld & NSW clubs will double up meaning almost all Vic clubs can play each other Vic club once. Hopefully Tassie come...

Fitzroy would have no interest in this idea, nor would any other clubs not currently in the VFL. And 100% no country leagues would be interested in something that would destroy country leagues. It would be a hard pass from all parties you mention.

Almost impossible. Demons. Cats and Dogs/Dons players will be in Perth. GWS players will all go home as soon as they are out of AFL finals, and Southport have no chance of being allowed back should they come to Victoria. Box Hill about the only team that could field a tea anywhere near full...

The clubs in EFL, etc do not want to join a new league. Travelling all over Melbourne and killing off local rivalries is a quick way to kill of string suburban clubs. The only possibility would be for Port, Willi, Weribee, Coburg and Port to join the top 2/3 clubs from Western and Essendon...

Harsh if someone got 18 votes by playing six games for a club that played 11 games is belated on average by a player who got 15 votes from nine games for a club that played nine. No perfect solution here.

Harsh on both clubs. So Werribee keep training even though they may not play? Better to just shuffle the teams around and give Footscray the forfeit as minor premier. Footscray straight into prelim 3 v 8 Box Hill vs GWS 4 v 7 Geelong vs Collingwood 5 v 6 Casey v Willi

Also compromised with teams playing a different number of games.

https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/www.afl.com.au/news/666360/final-round-cancelled-see-how-the-vfl-finals-will-play-out/amp Knock out top 8 over thee weeks if allowed to resume first week of Sept.

The majority of Dogs and Cats players likely to be in Perth those weekends. Can’t see the season being completed.

Never understood why so many byes and just an 18 game season (16 this year). VFL/AFL reserves always played 22 games.

Dogs/Dees/Cats could have their best 30 - 33 players interstate, if not the whole squad. If that is the case, you would have to cancel the VFL finals.

Finals are different. You can't just add randoms. Plus if GWS make AFL finals their whole squad could be in Perth or Adelaide. Same for Cats, Dogs & Dees. Clubs won't be able to fly players back and forwards. Can't see this working unless AFL finals are played at MCG.

Not sure if Vic & Qld Govts would let Box Hill fly to GC to play Southport in two weeks, and no way would GWS be able to play in Melbourne. GIven the situation in Sydney reckon they will have to forfeit and that would have Frankston or Werribee 8th. In fact, Southport might also have to forfeit...

Any word on the fixture? Was due by end of Feb.

If the VFLW can start Feb 1, surely the. VFL can start before April 23. There are enough grounds.

Only 16 rounds (which is a joke - less than suburban leagues), usually starts early April reckon might start the week after Easter in 2021. I doubt there will be conferences with separate ladders or finals, more likely groupings to allow NSW and Qld teams to play each other twice. Like the AFL...

Not all clubs. There are not any Box Hill supporters left who are not also Hawthorn supporters. A coupe of dozen were still going t games after the merger but all dropped off after the club adopted the Hawthorn jumper around a decade ago. Also I am pretty sure not single Springvale fan still...

This whole idea makes no sense. To cut on costs flying nine clubs around the country, we will now be flying 20 - 24 clubs around the country.

Two reasons that won’t hapoen. 1. Clubs already have most players on contract for 2021, so hard to cut at short notice. 2. 2021 will be another COVID affected season, with the possibility of short breaks again and possibly no VFL. Current list sizes may be needed.

Three out of 20 clubs surviving would not make clubs very comfortable with pulling out of the VFL
