VFL Game Day VFL Round 19: Essendon vs. Footscray (4 point win; 79-75)

[YEMOC NAYR]

Hopefully we get the double chance, been hit and miss abit this year, pretty important.

If we were to be hosting a final at any point, is there any chance of it being at Windy Hill or no?

No, week 1 there'll be 2 at Box Hill and 2 at North Port Oval, then week's 2 and 3 will all be North Port and GF is at Docklands.

 

[eth-dog]

Sandringham up comfortably (currently 71-47). They will be in 2nd tonight.

My take would be to beat Richmond first, which we should quite easily.

Reckon Collingwood will beat Port well, Box Hill will smash Williamstown and Werribee's home ground advantage will be enough to beat the Bulldogs.

Therefore I predict:

1. Box Hill 60
2. Sandringham 56
3. Essendon 48
4. Williamstown 48
5. Werribee 48
6. Collingwood 48
7. Footscray 44
8. Casey 36

Week 1

Box Hill v Williamstown (Box Hill)
Sandringham v Essendon (Port Melbourne)
Werribee v Casey (Werribee)
Collingwood v Footscray (Port Melbourne)

We're 15% behind Williamstown, there's no way we get ahead of them. It would have to be a 30 goal combined margin. Box Hill won't win by that much.

Has anyone been able to get their hands on a replay yet?

Also, eth-dog, surely Myers would be eligible?

Are we still 100% on that missing 10 consecutive games rule? my understanding through reading the rules is that it only applies to players qualifyig for VFL development league finals, could be wrong though as it is hard to understand it properly.

It's too ambiguous. I can remember a case a few years ago for the VFL finals, but I'm not sure on who it was.

Here we go!
