VFL / Coburg Questions

[Brooksy88]

with Coburg going so well atm i have just a quick few questions on the VFL finals situation that i was hoping somebody could answer.

1. how many VFL games does a player (AFL-listed included) have to play to qualify for VFL finals? (jackson for example had played probably half...wanting to see if 'fringe' players like him have qualified)
2. do VFL reserve games count? (Carl Peterson played several games in the twos but will likely be near full fitness come finals time)
3. does the 12/10 rule apply in finals?

thanks in advance.

I'll try to answer best I can.

1. Must play 7 VFL games.
2. I don't believe reserve games count (Jack Riewoldt played 7 total games before debuting I believe, but since one was for the reserves he wasn't yet eligible for finals IIRC)
3. The 12/10 rule only applies against VFL clubs with no AFL club affiliation.
