Just to refresh everyone's memory, here's all the information that you need to know regarding finals eligibility for AFL listed players in the VFL finals series:
From the VFL website

FINALS football it’s said is different from the home and away season and it’s especially the case in the Peter Jackson VFL.
Certainly the landscape is much different, particularly for all the aligned VFL clubs who don’t have carte blanch access to AFL listed players during the final series.
Unlike the home and away season, VFL clubs simply can’t call upon players who are not playing in the AFL.
There’s a set of clearly defined rules that spells out the eligibility of AFL players, especially in the last three weeks of the finals.
With all AFL clubs still involved in the home and away season in the opening week of the VFL finals, VFL clubs can still access players who are not selected in the AFL.
But once the AFL home and away season finishes that access is restricted.
If an AFL club is involved in the AFL finals and its VFL aligned is also in the VFL finals then players not selected in the AFL team can play with its VFL affiliate.
If an AFL club is not playing finals then eligibility is governed under the following rules:

Players who have not played at least one AFL or VFL senior or AFL Victoria Development League match in the 2012 season are ineligible to play in the VFL senior finals.
Players who have played with the AFL Senior team of any AFL Club after July 1 of this season are ineligible to play in the VFL senior or AFL Victoria Development League Finals unless they have played a total of at least six senior VFL or AFL Victoria Development League matches in the same season.

Sometimes an AFL player who may be qualified to play for its VFL affiliate may be shut down by the AFL club or sent for end of season surgery.

Have just found the list of North Melbourne listed players eligible for finals
WERRIBEE
North Melbourne players eligible: Ayden Kennedy, Ben Speight, Malcolm Lynch, Cam Pederson, Will Sierakowski, Majak Daw, Levi Greenwood, Lachlan Hansen, Sam Gibson, Brad Mangan, Ben Warren, Ben McKinley.

Hopefully our fringe players can continue their good form.

Also would love to see a huge finals series from Ben Ross.

A strong looking squad it is as well. Being the finals it may even be worth posting the opposition's lineup if you can be stuffed mate. Looking forward to this one. Hopefully the 'bees can turn it into the Fathers' Day Massacre. Most of all I hope they play at or near their optimum, win the thing, and remain injury free. Good luck to the boys playing, especially the North listed blokes.

Thanks Tef. A few GoDees players among them I see.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Interesting to hear Brad say that Levi is not playing any footy this weekend due to an ankle injury. Seemed like he was keen to get him into the firsts. Pedo will play for the Bees.

 

[Hard_to_Beat]

Say what?

Say what?

Interactive team o' the week on the club website.

Seems like a safety precaution for next week.

He's in contention.

Thanks for that, you saved me doing some work.

 

[Hard_to_Beat]

Winner gets a weeks rest.

Loser will play Willi next week.

It's a pity the game is all the way out at Casey.

 

[grimface_87]

Massive breeze here today. Werribee up 26-17 at half time

 

[Hard_to_Beat]

3/4 time.

Werribee 4-7-31 vs Casey 3-9-27

Werribee have shut down Casey and have a decent breeze in the last quarter. They're doing everything required to win this match.

 

[skittler]

Any particular players standing out so far?
