The club's reserves team, participating in the VFL, was coached by Shane O'Bree for a sixth season. Aaron Black was named captain, with Darcy Lang vice captain.[3]
The reserves team finished the 2021 VFL season with a 7-2 win–loss record and placed fourth on the league's ladder and would have qualified for the finals series, had the season not been curtailed due to restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in Victoria.[4]
