Hi All - there have been a few questions around finals eligibility for the VFL so thought I would answer them. 

For those interested, here is the VFL finals rules, the games played in VFL, and the games played in AFL.

Easiest way for eligibility is if the Dees are still in the finals, anyone can play VFL. Under the horrible situation where we might not make it that far, this is the 18 eligible players we have on offer: 

B:  Petty Frost* Johnson
HB: J. Wagner Keilty J. Smith
C : Baker Hunt McKenna
HF: Pederson T. Smith Hannan**
F:  Garlett Weideman Filipovic
R: King JKH Bugg

* Frost will become ineligible if (when) we get to the semis.
** If Hannan plays VFL this week rather than AFL, he is eligible 

It is actually a very strong side when you think that VFL players Wagner, Lockhart, Munro, Hutchins, Scott, Machaya, Stockdale, White, Gent, Lok and Freeman have all done really well this year. Hopefully Weid and Frost wont see a game in the VFL for the rest of the year as they will be too busy winning in September with Melbourne. 

So Vince is stuffed unless we keep winning in the AFL?

That Frost can be eligible at the start of the finals but not after is unfair.  The eligibility for finals should be based on regular season games, not finals matches.

Awesome work mate, but I’m pretty sure Frost will still be eligible to play, as the rule governing the Max AFL games only counts for the H&A season.
