What's the finals structure in VFL?

MagpieBat · Post by **MagpieBat** » Sat Aug 06, 2016 3:09 pm

Start of the final term.

Magpies by 64 points.

Can we go on with it...?

Same as the AFL. Final 8, top 4 get the double chance.

Unlike the AFL though, only 1st and 2nd get a home final...

Classic 7 point play for us there, rushed behind initially, but the kick-in is picked off by Moloney, who centres in turn to Smith!

From 45m, DIF... GOAL!

110-39

Moloney scunges a handpass inside the 50, Gault comes out to meet it, clean pickup, turns, snaps and GOALS!

116-39

If we finish 1st or 2nd would we get home final given they can't charge (as I understand it) at Vic Park or Holden Centre?

Oxley quick toss onto the boot... misses...

Witts has gone in the book for an incident behind the play. FFS...

That incident also sees Tarkson paid a down-field free kick, which the young Lion converts from 35m DIF...

117-45

We were awarded a home final at Vic Park in 2014. That game was free admission too, but we had to compensate the VFL for lost takings.

I imagine a similar arrangement could be had this time around...

Interesting umpiring in this game. No HTB. Players encouraged to hang on to ball when tackled. Quite a number of 50/50 tackles paid as high.

but I shouldn't be worried it will change next week.

Dont stop Pies

Saad marks uncontested out in the Glasshouse pocket, then comes in from the Holden Centre weights room to kick it from 45m out...
