VFL - Round 9 vs Tiggers @ Franga (BFY,TW), 7:10pm Sat 24 May 2025

Need the VFL back for my weekly dose of optimism.

Sat night vs the Tigs.

Fortunately it plays after the AFL so we don’t need to hold anyone back.

Hopefully we see a few senior names but I highly doubt it.

Why are Richmond & Essendon playing in Frankston? The VFL is cooked.

This must be a mistake. Why is the Essendon VFL football team playing football this weekend?

The VFL has got to be the moat unorganised footy comp in Australia. Even the junior leagues know how to do it.

You’re actually wrong on this one, it is shocking scheduling.

Anyone remotely a chance to come in and play Brisbane won’t play this game due to the short 5 day turnaround and interstate travel.

I would suggest there will be at least 2-3 players held over and not play any game in almost three weeks thanks to this ridiculousness.

Next week the VFL is playing on Friday in Brisbane. Thursday is the AFL game, not sure why a player will miss out on a game.

A few players can play off 5 day breaks (sat VFL to Thurs AFL), not a major issue

Watch and see

Just look at Hayes/Tsatas the week before they played AFL. Both were pulled from the VFL.

It’s not so much a can/can’t thing, as Brad having shown how he handles it.

I suppose it depends on if we get an injury to player in a key position. Like if Goldy went down Friday night then you wouldn’t play Vigo in the VFL.

But the rest should still play. But take your point we are pretty conservative

Will Shiel grace the VFL turf this weekend I wonder. Handy On-ball brigade with Tsatas and Shiel in there.

If we don’t win the clearance though they’ll be no midfielders defending!! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Any chance of a VFL team list for the Richmond match reaching the public before the game is over?

Fair enough. That would be a YES?

Knowing my luck he would have 35 at 3 quarter time, then be put on ice.
