Only the four VFL games so no. Unless the VFL has changed the game criteria from 6 and haven't announced it yet.

OK thanks.

That team looks pretty strong. The battle of the whipping boys between Gardner and Schache?

Roarke Smith comes out to the side after succumbing to injury.

After being out the whole season, comes back and injured again.

Unfortunately it seems his AFL journey is over.

I wonder if Hannan is the only player to have been officially let go so far because he is no chance of playing VFL finals?

Looks Melbourne are keeping all possible senior inclusions on ice with a Thursday final.

INS - Bell, Valentine, McRae, Briggs, Emile-Brennan, Toledo, Farris-White
OUTS - Grundy, Spargo, Schache, Jordon, McDonald, Woewodin, Dunstan (ACL)

Toby McLean also returning.

VFL didn't play last week so McLean hasn't missed a game, was already in the team. But then Crozier was too so go figure. I just copy and pasted from the club website.

Listed in the outs. Looks like they are holding back anyone who is even remotely a chance of being named for Thursday's final.

Second time his season that he came back from injury and injured himself within a half. First time his foot injury flared up.

We won't really get a better opportunity to beat them.

The VFL form has been fantastic and hopefully they will continue not to be as flaky as the senior team.

Need someone to put work into Harmes, he strikes me as their biggest threat in the midfield without Dunstan.
