Geelong's VFL team should only use Skilled Stadium when they are playing a curtain raiser to an AFL game. When they play their regular home games there it looks bad for the VFL using a 20000 seat stadium only 100 people or so attending.Surely they could use another more suitable venue in Geelong?

The only issue is that I doubt there's another suitable ground in Geelong and I also doubt that Geelong would want to take too many games to regional centres. However, I would think that their stand alone VFL home games would have had a TAC Cup match or 2 as a curtain raiser.

I don't think the Geelong Falcons are playing many if any curtain raisers to the VFL side this year,unlike previous years.The Falcons play games in regional areas or they may play on a sunday at SS if the VFL are playing on the saturday arvo at SS. No way we move home games to regional areas.It's bad enough we play at home game against Werribee at Werribee this year,just because the Deli Lama dude is taking over our ground.

I think the bottom line is they are Geelong football club, and the only AFL club with the guts to have their own VFL team so they have every right and so they shoud play at their home ground.

Do you think every AFL club should have a side in the VFL? What would happened to the reserves competition?
