He looked balanced and elusive through traffic. Haven't really seen it from him before

Because the constant narrative from the club is that they’re going to have him ready for day 1 of preseason. There’s never been any hint that they were even considering playing him in the VFL.

As Jen said he's on the LTI list and the club was granted an exemption for him to play.

I can't be sure but I think it's a surprise because the club ruled him out for the season and the VFL had to grant him an exemption to play. Need to confirm that though.

Hypomathematically…if Dean had 2-3 high level hit outs in the VFL…and we copped a season ending injury to another AFL listed player (say someone not in our top 30) could we consider bringing him back on the list and potentially playing him. Dumb question
Excited to watch the VFL tomorrow in the off week. Expect the boys to turn up in a big way boring some of them will be pushing for finals!

Maybe get him to do another COVID test just in case

Yes, its possible. But given this is an elimination final, if we lose, that could be it and he wont have any other game time until next year. But I wouldn't think they'd put him back on the list a few weeks before the season has finished, even if we got a random long term injury. The plan was more to set him up for 2024. It'll be good for his confidence if he can get through this game.

I like that we (fans and media) had absolutely no idea that Dean would play. It’s good that the club doesn’t always telegraph its plans. I’m hoping for some more surprises - if we need them - in the finals.
And good luck to Dean, he’s almost a new recruit albeit one who’s been in our system a couple of years and apparently well liked and regarded. I’m not sure what he’s been given to do by the club, but I’ve seen him with the coaching group and holding the requisite clip board at VFL games.

He's shown that before. It's the big tick in his game. He needs a few more ticks though.

He was ineligible under the rules. AFL used its power to do whatever it feels like whenever it feels like to grant an exemption.

If we win today, and Dean goes OK, would the exemption be needed again next week, and possibly the week after? Could be tricky going cap in hand to the AFL before every VFL final, to ask ‘pretty please can Dean play?’

He'd still be ineligible to play AFL, but AFL used common sense and went for the spirit of the rule to allow him to play VFL. The no state League rule is just to stop clubs faking Unavailable players.

Think it’d be a season-long exemption now. Applies to all games unless we were playing Sydney.

A win would be significant today. Would mean that Frampton and whoever else misses out for the seniors next week will get a game next week and aren't going to go a big chunk without a game. Would be 3 weeks if lose today and then we beat Melbourne next week.
