Do the  NBs run a seconds side given the Development league is defunct or do they head back to their original clubs?

There is no 'development league' now. The guys who don't play go back to lower competitions. To me, it is one of the things very wrong with the VFL at the moment. Supposedly it is a matter of cost.

Zero continuity.  Whatever brainiac came up with this one?

Probably the same group of idiots that destroyed the 2nds and made the VFL from the corpse of the VFA in the first place!

Rod Galt passed away recently and I was reminded of the cartoon he drew depicting the VFL as a pig with its snout in the VFA trough.  That was when the VFL moved reserves games to the Sunday in direct competition with the VFA and that was the beginning of the end for the VFA.

What happened in the old days with blokes who missed out on a game in the twos?  If they were young enough they could play in the thirds but older players must have not played at all or played with a local club.

Keen to head down to Victoria Park tomorrow with my eyes firmly on Stocker, Kennedy, Williamson and MacCreadie.

All could make a difference in our senior team in the next month or so depending on how they progress in the coming weeks.

I am hoping for a good performance from this lot tomorrow. At least it has a few guys who can ruck, unlike the seniors.
I wonder who our 21st player will be?
