VFL/AFL Reserves & Under-19 Records?

Apologies if this has been posted in this discussion before but I've had a skim through and can't seem to find it - I know there's the highest do we have the lowest V/AFL reserves scores?

AF.com has everything from 1980–1999.

Not sure about anything else. I'm pretty sure the entire backlog of results is on their upload agenda eventually.

It certainly is, we haven't forgotten about the Reserves and U19s, AF is currently in a holding pattern that we hope to get out of in the next 12 months or so and then go full steam ahead with a complete rebuild known as AF 2.0, it's been in planning for 5+ years and I know we've been saying this for a while but I'm confident that we'll start to see some traction in the next year. But at the moment the main focus is to get all the current competitions that we cover up to date, but if we get some time over the off-season I'll be sure to update this page if any further Reserves matches get added.

Would that include the Under-19s as well as Reserves?

Yes, see the post above yours, Reserves and U19 are in the pipeline.

Now that The Sun News-Pictorial (1922-1954) is beginning to appear on Trove,
a few of the missing items or scores might show up.

 

[1883]

Congratulations but be aware that some gaps in results will never be filled from newspaper reports as matches in these competitions were sometimes never played or abandoned due to shortage of players, weather and condition of grounds.
Unlike the senior competition of the League where postponed matches were always played, in the junior competitions this seems often to not have happened.

Also, if you are not the aware the below has a substantial section on the League Seconds/Reserves which may be of use for some cross-reference.

Note too that by the time the Seconds competition got going the League had long dispensed with the title "minor premiers" and a "right of challenge".
The inventor of the 'Argus' system of finals to determine the premiership, R.W.E. Wilmot was very adamant on this issue in a number of newspaper articles in the 1920s,


Several correspondents have written re-
garding what they call "the minor premier-
ship" and "the right of challenge", and it
is extraordinary to think that these ques-
tions should be asked. There is no such
thing as the "minor premiership", nor is
there a "right of challenge".

Hi Just wondering if you know where I can buy or borrow this book?

Unfortunately I checked the Trove site and no library seems to have it, even in Australia!
