A host of AFL-listed players will don the Footscray jumper this weekend in a crunch Qualifying Final against the Brisbane Lions on Saturday afternoon.
After finishing second on the VFL ladder, the red, white and blue were awarded a home final with the double chance, boosted by the return of several key players.
Buku Khamis and Caleb Poulter come into the side after a bye last weekend, while Jason Johannisen will play his first game since injuring his calf a few months ago.
Rhylee West is available after recovering from his broken jaw.
The Footscray side boasts 18 AFL-listed players, creating a spectacle for fans at Mission Whitten Oval.
Kelsey Rypstra comes out of the side due to a hamstring complaint, while Hargraves, Hunt and Kellett will all miss.
Tickets for the game are still available and can be purchased via this link.
The bounce is 1.05pm AEST and will be live on the AFL app.
