The 2's play their last game for the year against Richmond on Sunday at 11:05 at Carlton.
We may have very few AFL listed players available, possibly only Akuei and Monahan, especially if some of our half0fit guys don't come up.
There will be a minimum of 6 changes to the senior line-up, maybe more.
Marchbank won't be available: he's still struggling with concussion. I'd say he's played his last game.
Not sure how many listed guys Richmond will have, but they beat us last time with very few.
Live Long and Prosper!

On any way of looking at this it will be difficult. The Tigers have 11-13 on the injury list themselves, but that 4 to 6 extra AFL-listed players make a world of difference in that they will be the comparatively class players out there and something like 6-8 "class" players to 2-3. Obviously can be different if the quality of top-ups is much stronger on our side but I don't expect that to be the case.

I reckon our vfl team will fare better without the afl guys.
Our afl types are generally kids and now they can put their better players in the main roles.

This season has been a disaster for our VFL team and hope we can do better next season.

I think you’re right Crash.
If so, it’s a sad end to a career that promised so much. Marchy must be one of the most resilient characters going around to have stuck it out this far.

Probably 2 listed players - Mirkov and Monahan. The rest are headed west.

I dont understand why they didn't just take all the AFL listed players to the West.
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

the trip west then back east can be quite taxing. Mirkov and Monahan both need game time as they're learning the nuances.

Agree... however, the back end of the season has been much better with 2 really impressive wins in the past month.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
