Clubs are hoping for draft fixture in next couple of days I believe they have been told where they are playing Round 1.

so I won't think it would be out this week.

 

still no VFLW fixture either and that starts Saturday week

I swear the AFL are intent on destroying this competition. Already ex-AFL players are signing with local clubs, or heading to the SANFL or WAFL rather than VFL teams because there's more money on offer. Now we get capped at 1000 spectators and will have to buy tickets online rather than just showing up......local league clubs won't have these issues, and so on a Saturday arvo the average punter will weigh up going to the VFL against seeing a local team.....and likely choose the local team since it's easier to get into, and he's likely gonna see more star power on the park. This is football's heartland and this league of morons are destroying it!!! So disheartened with the current direction of the game.

The AFL clowns have destroyed many things over the years. How can they not have a fixture for VFL yet ?? Why the delay. If they cap it to 1000 and pre book tickets and make people stand in a specific area no one will go. Spot on aj9172. The average footy follower will just turn up at their leisure to a local game.

good grief, how pathetic, so nobody knows who they are playing or where? is there any good reason for the delay?

The VFLW girls will probably each receive a text message the night before they play to say you are playing at this ground and time. As for the VFL fixtures they will be out a week or two before the season starts. That would not surpise me at all.

Excuse me for not agreeing with you AJ however I don't believe that AFL players are going to SANFL or WAFL due to increased money- the salary cap in both those competitions is the same as the VFL. As for going to local leagues due to more money, local leagues have been salary capped to half the VFL. Their will be more ex AFL players playing VFL this season then their has been in recent years.

I agree that buying tickets online is overkill, if they said that to my father theirs no way he would be able to do it,  He'll probably try for two minutes, throw the phone on the ground in 1000 pieces and shout out WHY TICKETS ONLINE MALAKA F+÷=#N !!!!!
