You would think the VFL draw will be put out a bit earlier as the QLD and NSW clubs will have to make travel arrangements as will the VIC clubs that have to go up there, six days notice would be plainly bizarre but nothing that mob in charge do would surprise me
The people that make up the VFL management are nothing short of disgraceful without a clear lack of leadership.
How on earth can you possibly run an organisation living from day to day without any clear direction.
Feel deeply for ALL VFL supporters !
VFLW Fixture for Round 2 this
VFLW Fixture for Round 1 this weekend has been released.
A bloke connected with a club in Gippsland rang up Tom Elliott on 3AW this afternoon and said the AFL have issued orders that clubs in his competition are not to publicise who or where they are playing or have any reports in local newspapers or local radio stations - the reason: that publicing such things may attract more than 1,000 spectators to games. I truely hope he was wrong or just misunderstood coz if that is true then country and suburban football is dead. Perhaps this explains why the VFLW draw was only published 6 days before the first game, although I think that they would be struggling to get 1,000 spectators to a VFLW match, unless it was a curtain-raiser to an AFLW or men's match. Then what happens? They turn people away? The world has gone (more) mad ....

Any known reason why the VFLW games are mostly starting at 10am or 11am? Maybe they are curtain-raisers as if there are no games on afterwards then its an odd time to be playing

It is because of AFLW.
All the challenges around VLFW fixturing and times etc are due to AFLW and the fact that fixture is constantly changing. It's the first year VFLW and AFLW have been linked and it's unfortunate but unavoidable really that VFLW is being mucked around by it.
I still don't get how there's no fixture yet. Surely it's easy to lock in fixtures where their AFL teams are playing against each other and build around that?
Fixture delayed until early to mid March now
I heard that local footy you cannot go into the quarter time and three quarter time huddles.
The SFL (southern Lleague) has bought in the rule. Not sure about other leagues as yet.
