VFL is an entire league of kids and top-ups, no wonder no-one watches it.

Given he's clueless I'm not surprised he's taken this simplistic view it's not about what league "is best", it's what league "is best for our development" and, equity with the 14 clubs on the eastern seaboard.

Having seen a lot of VFL it’s not that simplistic. The VFL also has standalone clubs and operates under different salary cap rules and rules over top up players and there is often complaints from AFL clubs about how player development is stalled in that comp. The AFL reserves comp is the only way things will even out but I can’t see that being a priority in the immediate futureBooney wrote:wenchbarwer wrote:UK Fan wrote:I love that now that Port are leaving the vfl is apparently a better league than SANFL.

My argument would be whilst the VFL may allow a more controlled environment where you can develop players the strength of the SANFL competition and it ahs been for the last 30 years compared to the VFL is it is where you learn to compete. It is tough contested footy that mirrors the AFL with respect to the contested midfield pressure to create turnover and get yardage into the the 50. Play the game in your half. its what Richmond and and Collingwood h built their game plans on
It's my opinion that in the last 10 years both the Port and Crows have lacked the competitive edge when push comes to shove they haven't stood up in big matches due to not embracing the competitive advantages of learning to compete in the SANFL.
The SANFL if treated right by both port and the Crows could be their competitive edge.
Lorenz and Anastopoulos would have never played in such a competitive contested match in all their lives and you could see Anastapolulos adjusting to the s demands of the game towards the end.
I dont think he'll get that last week if he was playing in the VFL against another 3rd rounder of the Casey demons
Just my opinion

I do think it will eventually happen but I just don’t think the appetite is there from AFL HQ. It’s going to take a hell of a lot of money to set up and I think their main priorities at the moment are getting the AFLW to a sustainable level, getting the Suns and Giants to not bleed money and then facilitate the entry of a Tasmanian side. I just get the feeling that a AFL Reserves comp is minimum 5-6 years awayBooney wrote:Jim05 wrote:Having seen a lot of VFL it’s not that simplistic.

That's exactly what will happen, a dedicated second tier AFL reserves and it's not just Port pushing for it.
The stand alone clubs will end up in a stand alone VFL and " AFL2" or whatever it's called will be in place by the time Tassie join I'd say.
