VFL Finals Week 1 Sunday 28th August Collingwood v Carlton at Victoria park 1PM

[DJC]

Depending who is fit (and mix), we may line-up something like:

FB Caleb Marchbank, Sam Durdin, Brodie Kemp
HB Jack Carroll, Mitch McGovern, Zac Williams
C Mitchell Moschetti, Will Hayes, Liam Stocker
HF Josh Honey, Ed Curnow, Tom North
FF Lachie Fogarty, Jesse Glass-Mccasker, Ben Crocker
FOL Marc Pittonet, Tyreece Lieu, Paddy Dow
IC Stefan Radavanovic, Alex Cincotta, Michael Lewis, Alex Mirkov
EMG David Cuningham, Joel Trudgeon, Domanic Akuei, Oliver Sanders

I don't think Ed or Cuners will be considered.  Boyd was back in training but I doubt whether he'd be risked and I'm not sure whether Mirkov's gashed knee will be healed sufficiently.

Stocker won't play on the wing and will be in defence with Lieu and Plowman.  Carroll will be on the wing and I think that Williams could spend time in the midfield.  Trudgeon will be in the 23.  I wouldn't be surprised to see McGovern in the forward line; we have heaps of defenders but not much in the way of forwards.

Thanks for the update DJC, I haven't been able to find a lot of up-to-date information. I now Cuningham and Ed Curnow were back running, but not sure past that. You would 'hope' that line-up could go deep into September.

I think Plowman played 12 or more games (like Jack Martin).

Of course!  Scratch Plowman from the list.

We still have plenty of good defenders, both AFL- and VFL-listed, but lack forward firepower.

The qualification is 6 VFL games, Plowman only played 3!

[DJC]

The qualification is 6 VFL games, Plowman only played 3!

It's a little more complicated than that.  If a player plays one or more AFL games after 1 July, they are ineligible unless they have played 6 VFL games.  There are several other eligibility criteria.

Bottom line is that our team is:

Backs: Tyreece Leiu  Sam Durdin  Liam Stocker

Half-backs: Heath Ramshaw  Stefan Radovanovic  Alex Cincotta

Centreline:  Tom North  Will Setterfield  Will Hayes

Half-forwards:  Jack Carroll  Jesse Glass-McCasker  Ned Cahill

Forwards: Brodie Kemp  Ben Crocker  Jesse Motlop

Followers:  Alex Mirkov  Paddy Dow  Joel Trudgeon

Interchange:  Dom Akuei  David Handley  Michael Lewis  Mitch Moschetti  Zavier Maher

CARLTON LISTED AND ELIGIBLE:
Paddy Dow
Brodie Kemp
Will Hayes
Jack Carroll
Sam Durdin
Liam Stocker
Alex Mirkov
Jessie Motlop (12 games)

Not as many big names as expected.

I’m glad to hear of the qualifications DJC, I’d rather something like that than a club that missed (like us) playing an afl squad against a VFL list.

Yes, I had believed it was 12 the cut-off, but there are more complex rules.

Yep, the system works.

Looking forward to tomorrow's game.
