I really feel for the young players drafted in the last few years. Have had little opportunity other than training and irregular reserves games to develop and fight for a spot on the senior team especially on clubs towards the top of the ladder like ours.

A lot of these players will unfortunately get delisted as a result given all clubs must make a certain number of list changes to account for trades, free agency and the national/pre-season draft.

Yes

Because the AFL like the NRL and other full time professional sports have strict COVID Protocols in place approved by the various state health departments.

The VFL doesn't as it is not a full time professional comp. Eg Richmond VFL listed players have jobs outside of footy

That's the difference

Please don't whack me not saying I agree just explaining how it was explained to me

Cool. I didn’t know the vfl was any different to the other codes.

Makes sense now  :thumbsup
