By the way, I think they should be able to play. That is what Reserves sides are for. I remember many years ago (possibly 2006) the Eagles league side had the first week of finals off, but Reserves were playing against West at Richmond in a final. Crows must have still been in the AFL season, but also had a bye, so the Eagles reserves had the likes of Burton, Shirley, Hentschel etc all playing for them. They smashed West as expected.

I am pretty sure they would not have been allowed to play for a League side though. They would have been forced to play for the lowest ranked Reserves side that was playing, if their own side did not have a Reserves side playing. Is there still a qualification rule for SANFL finals (such as having had to play 3 games during the season)? If not, there is nothing to stop the Crows playing anyone they like in the Elimination Final.

They wouldn't play him for a quarter or half? Don't tell me they wouldn't think about it!!

Big possibility of that happening I think Dutchy. Let him wreck havoc for a quarter or so in match conditions, then rest up.
He would probably get the Crows up by about ten goals in that time, enough to see them past the Dogs. Then they've still go their reserves squad oied for another week.
