With finals just one week away, the Victorian Football League released finals eligibility lists on Thursday, with Foostcray receiving permission for 22 AFL-listed players to represent them in their post-season campaign.

While three of the eligible contingent - Matthew Fuller, Josh Prudden, Clay Smith - ruled out with season ending injuries, second–placed Footscray will be well placed to challenge in September.

In addition to the cohort of AFL-listed players, Footscray will also have the services of four VFL listed players with AFL experience to aid their flag tilt - co-captains Nick Lower and Lukas Markovic, as well as Jordan Russell and Brent Prismall.

The Bulldogs have one home and away season game remaining, squaring-off against Richmond on Sunday, commencing at 1:00pm at the ME Bank Centre (Punt Road Oval).
