(b)          Subject to  Rule 20(c) below, a Player who has played in an AFL Home and Away Match after 1 July in the relevant season will be ineligible to play in VFL Senior Grade or Development League Finals Series Matches unless that Player has played in a combined total of at least six (6) Senior Grade or Development League Home and Away Matches in the same season.

(g)          Despite any other provision in Rule 20, where a Club does not field a Development League Team, an AFL listed Player must:

(i)           qualify under Regulation 20(b); and

(ii)          have played no more than 12 AFL Home and Away Matches,

 

So after reading this, we are fielding a D-League team therefore it doesnt matter if they've played more than 12 AFL matches? 

Salem has played 5 matches (nope); Oliver is about to play his 6th (13 AFL games); Kennedy 6 (15 AFL games). Hoping that we do get Kennedy and Oliver for the finals. What a midfield! 

That would be right so Kennedy is eligible and Oliver becomes eligible if he plays today. The question is whether all of those players will actually be available as some might need surgery or even to be rested in order to fulfill organised pre season training programmes for next year. Whichever way it pans out, I think we can expect Casey to field very strong teams and, for once (because it's never happened since the alignment began with Melbourne) they might even win a finals game.

Salem is eligible as well, he played one game in the development league as well which counts for his six.  I count 19 AFL players that are eligible, it will be interesting to  see how many play though.  I suspect Oliver or Wiederman might be rested but we will wait and see.

Yep, according to inside football Salem made his 6th VFL game last week.

Rounds 9 & 18-22.

My understanding is that regardless of todays result Casey will finish top two as Williamstown has the bye.

Pardon my ignorance but will there be a final for Casey next week and, if so, at North Port Oval?

Also, with Travis Cloke getting a farewell game with the Pies this weekend I believe he is ineligible for VFL finals? Good news for us if correct!

Looks like they wanted Oliver to get some VFL finals experience.

Thanks Angry. Wonder if he will play VFL finals. He is not in need of surgery, so it will be about if he is going to be better for the run. 

Quarter Time in the Development League - Box Hill Hawks lead 4.5.29 to Casey Scorpions 2.1.13.

Hawks lead by 7 points at the half time break.

Casey Scorpions 5.2.32 to Box Hill Hawks 5.9.39.

Max King has kicked one goal.Ben Newton has been in a bit of the play - this is obviously his warm up for the finals starting next week.

That was Box Hill's quarter. They lead 9.13.67 to 6.4.40.

Box Hill lead by 14 points with about 10 minutes to go.

Has Chris Dawes played his last game for the club?

Dawes has an issue with an achilles.  Tried to train yesterday and could barely run.

Makes sense. Saw him trying to run early Tuesday morning and pulling up sore. Thought it might have been his knee

A goal late in the game gives Box Hill a 20 point win.

And another to Pedo - difference now 4 points.

cannot understand playing oliver in the vfl unless it was to ensure he qualifies for the vfl finals.

 

he's our second best clearance player already, in his first year.

Casey now up by 14 points

Two quick goals to the Hawks and it's a 2 point game

They are kicking with a 2 to 3 goal breeze i would think

At least ...but the last was due to a bad turnover through JKH.
