Re: Match Committee - Round 22 2016 vs Essendon

Great effort by Roarke Smith to get back into the senior team within 12 months of doing his knee. Seems to have a heap of potential, really looking forward to seeing what he can bring. Was thrown to the wolves 12 months ago in Perth, but really gets his chance at AFL level here.

He has a great leap like Wood

I think this is the relevant rule:


So neither Adams or Macrae (or Libba) would qualify (Adams last game was on 2nd July!). Campbell would qualify if he doesn't play next week against Freo as his last game was pre 1st July.

Interesting indeed. We might field the youngest team in AFL history in our first final.

Isn't this rule only applicable if the senior side is not playing the same week. Rioli played in vfl grand final without playing any vfl during the year.

Oops, we are talking about the bye week aren't we, so it may in fact apply. Something else the afl hierarchy probably hadn't considered.

My understanding is it doesn't matter that the afl have a bye round. Meaning if fit Macrae, Libba etc could play in the vfl finals week one

I am gonna guess/hope for...
Anyone who either 1- qualifies for VFL finals by VFL games played or 2- did not play Round 23= can play VFL finals.

Bye= skipping SF due to winning QF.

Re: Match Committee - Round 22 2016 vs Essendon

That being said, I do not believe Adams nor Macrae will be ready by then.

My guess = Macrae ready to play first week of finals and Adams it's all about how foot feels, I am thinking at best 1st week of finals.

I hope we don't blow this game against the bombers , they won last week and Cooney/ Stokes playing their last game.

I don't care if they all have $1m incentive to win the match, if we can't beat them, we don't deserve to be anywhere near the finals.

On Cooney/Stokes. The average amount of games their team mates have played with them would be like 5 games. Would not imagine too many deep options.

Note- take away the billion games Kelly and Stokes played together. I mean for Essendon!

What about the amount of games Cooney amd Matt Boyd played together? Does that count?
