The VFL players get a few extra breaks during the season ( 4 byes) and many of the non- AFL listed players are tied to local clubs.
For a lot of them it's as good as a break to go back and play locally because you can have a bit of a "kick and giggle" with your mates.
You can choose to have the week off or go and have a game with a bit less pressure.
I suspect it's something some AFL listed players would do too....but the club just wouldn't allow it.
There'd be hell to pay if Charlie Curnow did a knee playing for the Bullamakanka reserves during 'bye' week.
On the other hand we had our AFL and VFL sides both with a break last week.
Had the VFL side been playing it's pretty certain it would have been filled with AFL listed guys who needed a bit of extra work, including some who played seniors against the Suns.
Dow for one would probably have been on the team bus, given his limited game time in recent weeks.
