so looks like third is pretty much a cert. A loss to werribee wont affect us. The best we could do is if Sandy loses and we move to second but you would have to think that unlikey.

Good effort by the VFL team.

It may not matter if we finish 2nd or 3rd.I gather it's 2 [Sandy] v 3 [Geelong] in the first week of the finals.Most likely the game would be at TEAC Oval.

If we finish 2nd what are the odds of us hosting a final at Skilled? I know Frankston are looking to have a home final, and Tassie have had home finals in previous years, even if their ladder position didn't warrant it.

I've read in Inside Football a few times over the years Phil Cleary belly aching about Geelong's VFL side playing games in front of 1500-2000 people at a stadium that holds 25000+. I'm sure if Geelong was to play a home final on a Sunday, so it doesn't clash with local leagues, and it is advertised enough, they should attract quite a sizeable crowd there.

Depends if our final is on TV [2 of the 4 finals are shown].If it is it would be likely played at the TEAC Oval.If not it maybe at SS.
