Victoria University Whitten Oval will host a home VFL final for the Footscray Bulldogs next weekend, pending a top-two finish for the VFL side.
The news comes from the confirmation from AFL Victoria this week.
With the final round of the VFL home and away season this weekend, the Footscray Bulldogs stand on the verge of a home Qualifying Final if they can claim victory over 12th placed Richmond on Sunday.
Footscray currently hold second place on the VFL ladder, and even without a win on Sunday, could still receive a home final via percentage if results fall their way.
The Bulldogs would however require both third placed Williamstown and fourth placed Box Hill Hawks to lose their weekend fixtures to preserve their ladder position.
Bulldogs Football Operations Manager Ben Graham said the Club’s members and fans had embraced the stand alone VFL side and have welcomed football back to the kennel.
“We’re thrilled with how our fans have responded to our VFL team and our home crowd numbers suggest they are enjoying (home),” Graham told Leader Newspapers this week.
“We would welcome the opportunity of hosting a home final here at [Victoria University] Whitten Oval.”
