We’ve received confirmation today of exactly how many teams will compete in finals in each age division. For merged grades the finals are generally split into two grades based on ladder position. We’ve checked where all our teams are currently and have categorised them as follows.

Clearly in – this team is guaranteed finals
Clearly out – this team cannot make finals
Anything else – the team might be able to make finals depending on the last round, notes provide more details

We’ve left the under 10s off the list as their times are already up.

Under 12 A/AR Boys (1st-4th A + 5th-8th AR)
- Bulls 12B1 (currently 8th, a win this weekend guarantees them an AR finals run, as does a loss from Stars 7 – a Bulls tie and a Stars win or a Bulls loss and a Stars tie will go to %, and a Bulls loss and a Stars win will drop us out of finals)

Under 12 B Boys (1st-4th)
- Bulls 12B2 (clearly out)
- Bulls 12B3 (clearly out)

Under 12 C/CR Boys (1st-4th C + 5th-8th CR)
- Bulls 12B4 (clearly in C grade finals)

Under 12 D Boys (1st-4th)
- Bulls 12B5 (clearly out)

Under 12 A Girls (1st-4th)
- Bulls 12G1 (clearly in)

Under 12 B/BR Girls (1st-4th B + 5th-8th BR)
- Bulls 12G2 (clearly in, currently in B grade, worst case scenario is a drop to BR)
- Bulls 12G3 (clearly in, currently in B grade, worst case scenario is a drop to BR)

Under 12 C Girls (1st-4th)
- Bulls 12G4 (currently in, a draw or win guarantees, but a loss combined with a Flames 17 win could push them out on %)

Under 14 B Boys (1st-4th)
- Bulls 14B1 (clearly out)

Under 14 C Boys (1st-4th)
- Bulls 14B3 (currently 5th, playing 4th this weekend, need to win to make finals, any other result they drop out of top 4)

- Bulls 14B2 (currently 4th, need a win to be safe, can still make it without one but need Darebin 09 to tie or lose)
