VFL ticks off Setterfield selection after eligibility queries

Despite being listed for 13 AFL games this season, the VFL confirms Will Setterfield was eligible to play in Carlton's VFL win over Collingwood on Sunday

www.afl.com.au

This is from last year when there was drama about Setterfield playing VFL finals. It has some of the rules (if still relevant?)

Yeah, but I've heard that it's down to 3 for 2023 but I can't find that knowledge publicly, so can't specifically source that information, but a Gold Coast injury update states that Joel Jeffrey is available for the qualifying final but he only played five VFL matches

 

[Choppers]

Perfect! Read and Rogers look a good chance to play in a VFL flag before we draft them.

I'm sure you know there's a team called Werribee still playing in the VFL.......love your optimism....but let's not count our chickens just yet...

 

[Big Red Machine]

Whatever has happened in the Seniors doesn't matter

Let's go win a VFL Flag. Who's with me?

Pumped to see some finals action where the Suns are involved

Ease our way into ten consecutive years of finals for the seniors, with back to back premierships in 26/27

The year of the Crab is almost upon us!
More marks and intercepts than spoils is definitely a positive.

Pretty sure we are moving from Year of the Fat Sleepy Wombat to Year of the Coconut Crab.


Note:
According to Google, Coconut crabs are also known as Robber crabs. They can climb trees, are known to attack birds and have the most powerful claws on the planet. They crack open and eat coconuts.

This sounds right.

Bloody hell, where is our line-up for tomorrow's game? I would love to know who is eligible. A couple more hours to wait, I guess.

Lions already announced theirs. It's a pretty strong line-up with 16 AFL listed players plus mature players like Buzza and Dunkley.

B	Jaxon Prior	20	Darcy Gardiner	27	Bruce Reville	49

C	Shadeau Brain	34	Jarryd Lyons	17	Harry Sharp	22
HF	Blake Coleman	13	Nakia Cockatoo	12	Kai Lohmann	1
F	Darryl McDowell-White	50	Darcy Fort	32	Wylie Buzza	59
FOLL	Henry Smith	25	Rhys Mathieson	36	James Tunstill	29

It up on the afl site and it's looking pretty stacked. 21 afl listed players I believe, after a quick look the only players I think could be in there but aren't are fiorini and Budarick but not sure if they qualify.

Budarick should be able to play, but maybe they are icing him.

Fiorini has played a lot. Same with Flanders. Probably don’t qualify, or they’d be there surely.

Apart from Brock and McLaughlin, then Eckersley and Lake, it’s all AFL experienced players in some way. Just hope the synergy is good enough to dominate. A win would be huge. VFL have a great record at the Bank this season too.

Huge choke if we don't win the flag

 

[Southern Sun]

Looking forward to seeing more of Jeffery at half back. Showed some good signs in the short time we seen him there.

Midfield our weakest link I reckon. If Lyons and Mathieson have big ones, could be the difference.

Yeah, and Moyle v Fort isn’t easy for Moyle.

Blakely, Davies, Constable, Tsitas and Hollands isn’t too bad to rotate midfield minutes.

And if the mids give enough supply, our forwards should get to work. Hopefully we stay switched on all game.

Huge choke if we don't win the flag

We should definitely make the GF but potentially having to travel to Melbourne to face a Melbourne-based team in the GF could cost us. Even having to travel to Spingfield to face Brisbane in the GF could hurt us. Still seems odd to me that as the number 1 seed we're not allowed to host the VFL GF in our home city but all other finals participants can. Having said all that, winning an away GF in Melbourne could be a character building experience for the playing group and something Dimma can use to springboard into 2024. Fingers crossed we can get the job done.

Do you have to buy tickets for tonight, if so where from, the ground?

That's a negative ghostrider.
