Hawthorn players eligible for VFL finals

[Walshawk]

Updated after AFL Rnd 24.

With top four locked in, time to think about a VFL premiership. Usually a VFL team would be topped up for finals with a few fringe AFL players, but we will have a heap ineligible due to the rotation of our young blokes in and out of the AFL team. To play VFL finals you must played six VFL games, and not more than 12 AFL games (or not have played AFL post June 30 like CJ).
The following players are eligible:
Tucker
Hustwaite
Bennetts
Jeka
Morris
O’Hara (injured)
Serong
Stephens
McDonald
Ramsden
Long
DGB
Kosi
Butler
Bramble
Greeen
O’Sullivan (injured)
Ryan - I am not sure as most of his VFL games were at Preston.
CJ (injured)
Lynch (retired)

Ineligible
Morrison& Finn - 13 AFL games
McKenzie - 14 games - club has requested an exemption as was AFL sub three times
Blanck 15 AFL

Should still be a strong side with 14 - 16 Hawthorn players.

Ryan would qualify.

You kind of hope they dont push too many Box Hill players out who deserve to be playing.

There will likely less AFL listed eligible that have been playing most weeks so shouldn’t be a problem.

I assume the Wiz hasn't played enough Box Hill games to qualify?

Also, do games for other VFL teams count? Have Ryan or Tucker played enough games with Box Hill.

Just looking back at the season, it looks like we haven't played our finals opponent Werribee at all this year? Surely that can't be right? We had a bye every second bloody week!?

Yep. Its ridiculous. 21 teams and 18 games means the AFL get to fiddle the VFL "draw" even more than the AFL "draw".

Coburg even played 19 games while every other team played 18?

Tucker has not played AFL, so one game for us is enough to qualify. I am told Ryan also qualifies.

Nah, all teams played 18. No reason why they don’t play each other once for 20 games.

Interesting. I looked up the wiki yesterday and Coburg had 19 games for 19 losses. Today its 18 games for 18 losses.

It's been done intentionally to weight the fixture in favour of stand alone teams.
It is also to reduce travel costs on the northern afl clubs - sending teams down in one swoop

Also they’ve walked back from highest team hosting GF. It’s only if both GF teams are qld the GF played there

I think you mean Frenchie. CMac hasn't played a VFL game this year from memory.
