Ice said:Can you please give a bit more info on what was said?
Do they ever train with the AFL list? If so, how often. Maybe a select few?
How often do they train as a VFL group? I assume it is after 5 pm?
Do they train with the other clubs they play with?
I also wonder the payment details - I suppose a base fee and amounts per game played?
I am just interested in how they integrate with the AFL list, if at all.
Thanks in advance for any info
RFC_Official said:For now they train on their own as a team after hours as they all work. That may change during the season.
They train 2-3 times a week at the moment after hours at Punt Road.
They are allowed to train with their other teams at the moment as well.
Payment not sure.

Taz would it be fair to say we are much younger than the 17-19 years?2023 will be the 10th season for us stand alone in the VFL.
Albeit, no games were played in 2020 & only 10 in 2021
some basic game stats I have kept in that time

no doubt about it & according to the club that was the strategy.Taz would it be fair to say we are much younger than the 17-19 years?
In terms of AFL listed players eg Lloyd, Lennon, Miles
and also VFL.
From the outside it seems we've gone for young possibles in the VFL.
Comparing results with average age for each year would be interesting
Gives our kids the exposure and responsibility.no doubt about it & according to the club that was the strategy.
Not many experienced mature types like
Jacob Ballard
Tom Couch
Ryan Bathie
Adam Marcon
Sam Darley
Nick Mellington
Hugh Beasley
Blake Grewar

I didn't want to name dropI spoke to Fly McCrae just after he got elevated to Richmond assistant coach , (which many saw as a promotion), but he said to me that he would have preferred to have coached the VFL side for a couple more seasons but he and the club had a different philosophy on compilation of the VFL side, Fly was why change what ain't broke and continue with experience and youth where club wanted to go pretty much all out youth.
Great bloke Fly, happy to see him successful in a main gig.
