The Peanut posted this on a different thread - it looks a bit more involved than just 21.2:

The balance of the 10 VFL listed players can comprise of AFL veterans listed and AFL rookie listed have qualified under Rule 21.10 and VFL listed players who have qualified under Rule 21.1.

Most of the other points refer to VFL reserves selection.

But basically, if you have played 7 VFL games, OR not played for the AFL affiliate after 1st July, you can play for the Scorpions in the finals.

This is the reason why we wouldn't play blokes like Allen in the senior AFL side, should the game be dead on saturday, so he can get some finals experience (albeit at VFL level).

Voss would be borderline, as would CJ most of the other Casey regulars should be able to get a gig there.

Just looking it up now...

Voss - 7 games - ELIGIBLE
Jones - 6 games - INELIGIBLE (unless he has played in at least one VFL reserves game)
Howard - 7 games - ELIGIBLE
Birss - 7 games - ELIGIBLE
Hamill - 1 game - (DNP for AFL side) - ELIGIBLE

None of the clarkes are eligible.
