However, rising star Joel Freijah and the recently re-signed Lachie McNeil – both of whom played in the AFL Elimination Final against Hawthorn – will return to don the Footscray jumper among 16 AFL-listed players.

Very solid team still. Wish Croft was playing as another tall fwd option and to see his development but more than enough talent to win tomorrow.

He's doing a Barry's promo

 

[X_box_X]

Obviously a much weaker team than two weeks ago.

I can see us getting rolled here. The Sharks are in some ripper form.

It’ll be cold out there tomorrow without his top on.

Gardy at full forward - I like the thinking It has a Lobb-like vibe

See I think our team was so stacked two weeks ago that it threw off the balance.

 

[Mr. Walker]

I see Kellet is listed as an emergency. I would appreciate comment from VFL watchers if he has shown something that could translate to AFL level. Similarly with Gillbee. Thanks

I wonder if Kellett will play for Werribee in next week's WRFL Grand Final or Footscray in the Grand Final if we make it.

 

[stevieg1969]

Only Southport team lineup I could find didn’t have Boyd Woodcock named. No team announcements on their X account to confirm.

The VFL Facebook page has put up the teams and Woodcock has been named

Devon Robertson playing like a grubby little campaigner in the VFL today.

 

[Testekill]

Lions also doing a lot of dirty shoves after the ball is dead which is really dangerous on a wet day.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Who would we rather play?

 

[Testekill]

Who would we rather play?

Depends. If the Lions beat GWS today then they're not going to have any player restrictions on their selections so I'd rather Werribee. If GWS wins then I'd rather Lions win today.

EDIT: Lions being kissed on the dick vs Werribee today

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

So Sanders, Bukhu, West all out. Who is playing, and do we stand a chance?
