Sorry PREenders'

I realise there is a specific post regarding team changes - but - I'm hoping for a quick response - especially noting that the other post is mostly speculation:

(a) if a player plays VFL (for Coburg) on the Friday - can they play today?

(b) did Bowden/Jackson play for Coburg on Friday?

If the answer to (a) is Yes - then I'll have more to say - but I'll wait ;D

Ta
 
Yes.

Heath Shaw played vfl on the same weekend he debuted for the pies.
 
I'm pretty sure the answer is yes. Last year jackon needed to play 1 more game for coburg to qualify for the finals with the burgers. He was in the starting 22 and he then played the next day for richmond. in that case jackson didn't play at all, so coburg played with 21 players.

The rules however may differ, depending on which VFL team you're playing (eg. afl aligned or not).

Bowden is on the interchange according to Game Day Live.

with all the emphasis on rotations in order to keep the players fresh, i think that playing a bloke who played on Friday is just plain dumb.

you need 22 fit blokes going in to today's game.

Agree with this
 
surprised morton is out unless injured. very dangerous around goals. needs only 3 chances for 3 goals.
 
Geez we have alot of worry warts here. Final team does not need to be announced yet. I cannot see Bowden playing today.
 
Apart from Jackson and Bowden, Collins was the emergency who didn't play on Anzac Day. Anyone know if Collins is playing with the Coburg 2nds today?

The 3 Hawk emergencies who played Friday are in the Hawk stats too.

Just typical AFL website stuff up I reckon. :-X
