I thought Floley is eligible to play AFL as he has already missed AFL games due to suspension and not eligible to play WAFL because he has only missed yesterday's game to suspension?
at least that's what the Wurst reported.
Has to be Rotham as sub due to the side picked you would think.

If, as expected, Rotham is named at the sub leaving Foley as the spare then it’s been an astute piece of match selection re Foley
He couldn’t play WAFL due to suspension
He is eligible to play AFL, as due to a quirk of sorts he effectively served his suspension from AFL last weekend even though he played in the WAFL scratch match. However, whilst within the rules, him playing AFL would have looked a bit odd as he effectively wouldn’t have actually missed a game
So keep him in reserve in case there’s an unforeseen injury, illness or whatever rather than a player who could play WAFL in what was already a depleted side
If it all goes to plan, Foley isn’t required, he effectively serves his suspension and alls well

AFL modified the rules around feeder club suspensions a couple of years ago due the fact those competitions often started later. The rules as they were, meant that a suspension in a lower league would keep a player out for longer because they’d miss AFL games then be ineligible for their feeder league as well as the AFL
So they counted AFL games missed separately to the feeder league
Foley therefore served his suspension for AFL purposes last week and his WAFL suspension this week
You're right, it did start as a pagan celebration of the spring equinox (I always thought it was remarkable how easter always brings in the winter weather-but it's was worked out centuries ago). In Christianity, easter Sunday was dedicated to observing the resurrection of Jesus Christ, celebrated around the time of the Jewish Passover. (thanks google)(and Hook)

They're not going to pick him, Mitch.

**** it. Let’s have this.
Hope the ball movement looks ok when we get a look in, and Jai gets a Rising Star nom.

Yeo gets through unscathed.
Young uns crack in and maintain effort.
Honourable loss.

Hoping no injuries, some fast ball movement, play out a solid 4 qtrs.

Bailey Williams halves the contest with Grundy at centre bounce.
Culley brushes Viney off like a feather, collects the ground ball and gives a quick handball to Ginbey, who has a stride on Oliver.
Ginbey quick handball over the top to a running Hewitt who delivers into fwd 50.
Oscar Allen, slightly out of position, outmanoeuvres Stephen May, nearly marks.
Ball to ground and a deft tap on by Oscar to the clever Noah Long results in a goal across the body to WCE.
Jake Lever cries, because he's a sook.

He'll hear the info but no idea wtf to do with it
Is there any chance that Melbourne opt to forfeit instead?
This will be ugly.
