Breakdown:

9 home/9 away (unusual, they like to give stand alone sides 10/8 and the reverse for AFL sides)
2 interstate trips to Southport and GWS
Of the 7 away games in Victoria, two are in the south eastern suburbs (Casey and Sandringham), one in the inner west (Port), one in the inner east (Richmond) and two in the west (Footscray and Williamstown) and one in the country (Geelong). Casey really the only one hard to get via PT, the rest are within 10 minutes walk of a train or tram station

I'm a little disappointed they haven't gone with 23 rounds and only 3 byes so everyone can play each other but alas, they've gone this way. Will break it down against the AFL at another time.

Actually they've gone ahead and completely ****ed it. They're starting a week later, and we're still playing Geelong round 1 instead of Brisbane. And the game will barely finish on time to watch both.

So despite playing Brisbane twice in the AFL, we somehow don't play them at all in the VFL. I think they screwed up, should have started the same weekend of the AFL and play everyone once with only 3 byes.

Hahahahahahaha, they've ****ed this again. Idiots. Half they've put on the same day with it being almost impossible to watch the entire VFL and then go watch the AFL. If they started the Geelong, Port and Collingwood games half an hour earlier it would be plenty of time for that to happen.

Yep they have totally ****ed it. The only thing they could have done worse is play the Casey game on a Friday night as well. 4 time clashes in the first 6 rounds
