What is the new VFL 'wildcard round'?

Similar to what occurs in American sports prior to the playoffs, four VFL teams will get the opportunity to qualify for the finals after the season has been completed.

Firstly, the top six teams on the VFL ladder at the end of the home and away season will qualify for the finals.

The four teams finishing from 7th to 10th will playoff in a sudden death match the week after the regular season finishes (7v10, 8v9), with two winners progressing to the final eight finals teams.

This 'wildcard round' will be held on the weekend of August 26-27 and the six finals teams not participating will enjoy a week off before the finals begin.

Where do the reserves for Adelaide, Port Adelaide, West Coast and Fremantle play?

Four AFL clubs do not use the VFL competition as a feeder or 'reserves' league for their senior teams.

The South Australian clubs - Adelaide and Port Adelaide - have 'reserves' teams of the same in the South Australian Football League (SANFL).

AFL clubs based in Western Australia - West Coast and Fremantle - use the West Australian Football League (WAFL) as their feeder competition.

West Coast use a team of the same name, while Fremantle are affiliated with Peel Thunder.
