Reading through the Herald-Sun today I saw Geelong coach Mark Thompson was quoted as saying:
"In the VFL, it doesn't matter how they play. They can run around and do what they want."
Now I realise that Geelong are a special case, because their VFL side genuinely is their "reserves" however I don't think he is treating the competition with an appropriate level of respect.
He may also have been misquoted, and was merely referring to VFL practice matches... dunno.

At least the quote says VFL, not "The Reserves".
