Just the VFL this week with the SANFL and WAFL having a week off due to the SA v WA game which WA won by 5 goals.
The rookie options haven’t improved all that much but there still are some performing well at reserve level. We really need some to put their hands up to help keep our upgrade season going and as cover for the upcoming byes.
