Just curious to know who people find the worst offenders at labelling the VFL as "the reserves".

If that is the case, then Casey should fine him. Seriously.

Gary Lyon, someone rang him on radio once to tell him not to call it the reserves, and he cut them down.

Lyon was always a VFA hater when he played and the arrogant self important prick hasnt changed much. It will be interesting to see if he ever has the guts to coach Melbourne instead of being just a sideline sniper!

Hi would sip on a chardonay rather than drinking a vb stubby and watching the grass roots footy. Lyon is a tool no doubt about that. He will never ever coach an afl club. I am glad that he never coached Richmond. We have enough troubles as it is. Imagine a vfa hater how he would treat the vfl team if he coached an aligned team. At least McGuire has called the vfa footy and was a passionate Brunswick supporter. Jim Main is a vfa hater from wayback.

I thought jim main was a sandy supporter, but lost interest ages ago. Wasn't too kind to the vfa in a recent article re. the reserves coming back etc. I also feel it's AFL supporters trying to grasp onto anything from the old days . . . SO much has changed . . . so even though they know it's not the two's, at least they've got something they can call the two's. Like calling Brisbane the "Roy boys" and Sydney "South". There are a few culprits, but it'd have to come back to the AFL surely, if they sent a directive around to the clubs (and kept re-enforcing this) to not call it the reserves, surely it'd begin to sink in.

I think that comes from his days as an AFL listed player and is probably still getting used to being a VFL listed player. Not saying he didn't do the wrong thing.

Jim Main is a vfa hater from wayback. Which is a bit odd as he was on the committee at Sandy in the 70's or 80's Something happened and I'm not quite sure what...
