With no AFL footy on the weekend I think it's going to be packed at the Whitten Oval.

VFL Team l Qualifying Final

A host of AFL-listed players will don the Footscray jumper this weekend in a crunch Qualifying Final against the Brisbane Lions on Saturday afternoon.

After finishing second on the VFL ladder, the red, white and blue were awarded a home final with the double chance, boosted by the return of some key players.

Buku Khamis and Caleb Poulter come into the side after a bye last weekend, while Jason Johannisen will play his first game since injuring his calf a few months ago.

Rhylee West is available after recovering from his broken jaw.

The Footscray side boasts 18 AFL-listed players, creating a spectacle for fans at Mission Whitten Oval.

Kelsey Rypstra comes out of the side due to a hamstring complaint, while Hargraves, Hunt and Kellett will all miss.

The bounce is 1.05pm AEST and will be live on the AFL app.

Wait, Keath in the ruck and Smith full back?

Great to see JJ and West back. Surprising they can't find room for Bianco. Obviously decided not to play Arty. Otherwise only Baz, Croft and Rypstra missing that could have played if fit.

Have you not looked at a Footscray team selection all season? They are always named in completely random fashion.

Looks like he's named as a rover

You'll find 10 or so selections like that if you look harder. Clarke in back pocket, Bus at FF, benedo and garcia at half back etc etc

Jones is named.

Thanks, missed him because he wasn't an in. Of course he played in the last VFL game prior to the wildcard round last week.
