And this tweet from Legendary vfl news hound Paul Amy
Here is an update from AFL about respective state leagues
i understand 8 vfl standalone clubs who have been meeting regularly are currently or about to meet via video in next steps of hopefully getting some sort of season started
This morning on Triple M's Hot Breakfast Eddie McGuire spoke about state league football and what could be next.
one thing brought up was a possible merger between VFL and NEAFL.
my question would be especially for VFL stand alone clubs what the costings would be especially with travel and accomodation etc.
Thoughts?
Quarter Time
Nth Blues 2-2(14)
Frankston 0-2(2)
Tonight's Northern Blues vs Frankston game at Ikon Park will be played behind closed doors.
I understand this will apply for all games this weekend due to coronavirus.
I'm not sure what can be said... It was one of the most under-whelming games of football I can recall. I was trying to think of something memorable or a stand - out, but the best I can come up with is no injuries.
The Kangaroos finished 3 goals up at the final siren.

I am thinking of giving the VFL a miss in 2020. I feel that my passion is gone, as very year the comp loses more and more of its soul and is essentially the AFL reserves in disguise. The loss of the reserves competition in 2017 is probably the straw that broke the camel's back. How are the stand alone sides meant to develop players without reserves? The gap between local footy and the VFL is Now for 2020 the lists and salary cap has been cut again. It is ridiculous when one player on an AFL reserves team is getting paid more than the whole VFL list.
During the last week I received an email from Port Melbourne advertising the purchase of a share in a race horse. I find Horse racing and Greyhound abhorrent and want no part. So I called the club to voice my concerns and got fobbed off, they didn’t even offer to stop sending me spam emails. So I am thinking of voting with my feet and not renewing my membership for 2020. The only thing stopping me from pulling the plug is the great people I am met over the years attending VFL games.
