Footscray Bulldogs Finals 2025

[GVGjr]

My understanding is If any of our players has played in 12 or more senior games this year then they can only play for Footscray providing the senior team is still in the competition.
On that basis It means the likes of Khamis and Cleary can't play for Footscray if our senior team doesn't keep progressing.
I'm not sure what the implications are with Treloar but maybe because he's played a game he could technically play.
Dolan is on 11 games so if he played this weekend it might rule him out for Footscray. I can't see it happening though.
Davidson with 18 games couldn't roll back but Hynes and Croft could play. Harmes is in the same boat as Khamis

There could be a few players who finish their careers with the club at the VFL level.

VFL finals: Footscray to meet Frankston after the bye

in the VFL's First Qualifying Final next weekend - 30th of August)

So at $20 or $15 for concession I can leave Frankston and go to Mission, the clubs ground and see maybe Treloar, Croft and our draft picks, awesome.
Won't go with the Dolphins by bus but could maybe.

Not sure which players qualify to play? Croft, Garcia, Jones will be in. Not sure on Treloar

EDIT: To be eligible to play in the VFL finals, players must have participated in six reserves games during the season and played no more than 12 AFL games.

Treloar won't play

Treloar won't play

According to an article on AFL.com, he will.

Veteran Adam Treloar is eligible to play finals for Footscray after being overlooked for Sunday’s clash against the Dockers and is expected to play this weekend.
First-round pick Jordan Croft is also set to return to the VFL after kicking two goals in each of his first two AFL appearances across the final two rounds.

Arty Jones was recalled in round 24 as the sub, but will also be eligible to be play VFL finals after managing only four senior appearances this year. Liam Jones is also eligible to play for Footscray.

I can't do that, they'll have to cop me as a bona fide Frankstonite from Footscray or I'll snot them or head butt their nose.
I reckon they'll accept the old bustard for his loyalty.
I shared an overnight bus from Greece to London with British football supporters, had to work next day with no chance of sleep.
Maybe I'll google their team song as second line of defence.

Treloar won't play

I'm not 100% sure of the answer but I think playing one game VFL and 12 or less AFL games would qualify Treloar.

I need to check this further but these players should have qualified

• Ryan Gardner:
• Anthony Scott:
• Adam Treloar:*
• Jordan Croft:
  Lachlan Smith:
• Arthur Jones:
• Liam Jones:
• Oskar Baker:
• Nicholas Coffield:
• Jedd Busslinger:
• Caleb Poulter:
  Riley Gacia
• Josh Dolan:
• Cooper Hynes:
• Lachlan Jaques:
• Luke Kennedy:
• Michael Sellwood
• Zac Walker

I got the quote above from above link

[GVGjr]

So its confirmed that Treloar can play VFL

[jazzadogs]

Liam Jones hoping to become a two time Footscray premiership player in the next month. Not many of them getting about.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Atrocious weather predicted, high south westerly wind, possible hail. Classic open air footy without tall stadiums. Boys should be used to it as will Dolphins.

Strong team. Buku doesn't qualify and Croft injured

Actually looks like a genuine positions lineup, not the nonsenical format of VFL we're used to.
Shame Croft is out, hope its short term.
