Perfect game time. I think there could be a big crowd so aiming to get there early.

22

Vibes will be an all time high for this game.

With a lot of the list out of contract likely to be playing this week assuming may not be any/many delistings announced this week?

23

Thanks. Bought my ticket with the link.

24

Hayes is probably technically eligible.

Nic Martin and Fiorini presumably aren’t since Setterfield and Artemis replaced them on the list.

Could we get an exemption for Martin?

26

I am assuming if they are naming 20 it is 20 eligible to actually play, not injury list players.

27

But Gerreyn is still injured and listed, isn’t he?

Has both played too many AFL and not enough VFL games this year to be eligible.
You were right the first time!

Or did we get more allowances like we did for Clarke?

McKay has played more vfl than blaki

33

Blakiston doesn’t play VFL? He would have been lucky to play 3 games??? Vigo definitely played enough I feel like Bryan only played about 4?

34

Gotta feel for the vfl players who have been playing all year who will most likely get dropped for afl players not sure who though

Hopefully they do balance it a bit.

Is there a limit to how many AFL listed players you are allowed to play?

38

Nope.
Eligibility rules are must have played at least 6 vfl games, and no more than 12 AFL games.

Though exceptions are made (Clarke this year, Setterfield previously for Carlton had played too many AFL games but was allowed to play).

Still can’t believe we finished 5th.

We’re almost a big four club again :smiley:
