It's the half way point of the season and I thought I'd go over who could be eligible for VFL finals this season. I'm assuming any player currently fit, in the current 22 and have 7 or more games will be ineligible. The basic rules are:
1. Have to have played at least 1 VFL regular season game
2. Can't have played more than 10 AFL games
3. If has played less than 10 AFL games, but has played after July 1 in the AFL, he must have played 6 VFL games minimum
4. If a player has missed 10 consecutive VFL matches they are eligible to play as an exception to the above (Not 100% on this one however).
So with all that in mind, these players could play VFL finals:
8. Martin Gleeson: Should be eligible if he plays a game, but still 2 weeks away minimum so. Unlikely.
10. Aaron Francis: Will be eligible.
14. Jordan Ridley: Will be eligible.
15. Josh Green: Needs to miss 1 AFL game.
19. Kobe Mutch: Will be eligible.
20. Jackson Merrett: Will be eligible.
22. Matthew Leuenberger: Will be eligible.
24. Jordan Houlahan: Will be eligible.
30. Brandon Zerk-Thatcher: Will be eligible.
32. Travis Colyer: Needs 3 of the last 4 VFL games. Unlikely.
33: Jayden Laverde: Will be eligible.
34. Jake Long: Will be eligible.
36. Michael Hartley: Will be eligible
37. Dylan Clarke: Will be eligible.
38. Sam Draper: Will be eligible.
39. Trent Mynott: Will be eligible.
40. Luke Lavender: Will be eligible.
41. Ben McNiece: Will be eligible.
Let's remove all of the unlikelies, and say we only have one of Brown or McKernan. The possible side would end up being:
Ridley - Hartley - McNiece
Redman - BZT - Francis
Merrett - Mutch - Long
Houlahan - Lavender - Laverde
Younan - Leuenberger - Green
Draper - Clarke - Mynott
Hocking - Boyse - Hind - Heppell
Lazzaro
That is an incredibly good side. If we somehow manage to get both Brown and Smack eligible, well, good luck defence's. I'll try to update this as much as possible when I have the time. Of course injuries happen as well.
