Answer 1

I say let them play, one thing that does concern me is that it is supposed to be  teams pick on form, why then is one J.BROWN in the Vic team, let alone captain, he has done stuff all for weeks now. he does not deserve a spot on current form.

i know he is a great player b4 all the snipes come out but he is not playing well at all, i have sold him from my dream teams.

Answer 2

Can someone tell me whether they get PAID for this match and maybe if they do - surely they do? - suspended players could donate the money to their own or club charities?

Answer 3

I reckon they should play.  Mind you,  I reckon they should have a whole season where players can do what they like.  Take as many drugs as they want,  fight as much as they want.  It'd be interesting to see who survived the season!  Reckon the AFL would approve?

Answer 4

It does not count off there weeks , so yeah i think they should ab able to play

Players that were going to be in the Vic vs All Stars match keep droping off

Fletcher

Cornes

Davey

Answer 5

It's a one off anniversarry game i don't see the problem with it.

If it was a regular part of the season fixture then i would be against it.

Answer 6

i recon that if u get suspended u don't play. It might make the players think twice or maby not. D u think Barry Hall should play after his 1 hit wonder?

Answer 7

Yeah they should play, I don't think whether it's telecast should come into the equation. Anyone who is suspended has been omitted from home and away games which are part of the premiership season and Tribute matches have got no association with premiership points.

Let the people watch their heroes play together!

Answer 8

i think they should but like with the dream team about 4 players will be out with injury and Kerr will be suspended even though he will play but its upto the coaches on who plays

Answer 9

let them play

Answer 10

Yes, they can play.

But why bother - will anyone watch the game?
