The AFL News for Friday 4/9/1992.
----------------------------------

 Welcome to the start of finals football. This weekend there are three finals
matches with all three promising to be absolute thrillers. The details of the
games are:

 Second Elimination Final
 ------------------------
 Collingwood v. St.Kilda at Waverley Park starting at 2:30 pm AEST Saturday

 Qualifying Final
 ----------------
 Geelong v. Footscray at the MCG starting at 2:08 pm AEST Sunday

 Second Elimination Final
 ------------------------
 West Coast v. Hawthron at Subiaco, Perth starting at 5:08 pm AEST Sunday

I will write the teams in a moment, but the most important news from yesterday
was that Melbourne coach John Northey resigned from his position there and was
then immediately appointed coach of Richmond for 4 years. The outgoing Richmond
coach Allan Jeans quit due to health reasons. Northey was a former Richmond
premiership player in 1967 and 1969 and played 119 games for Richmond. In his
days at Melbourne he coached them to the finals in every year except for 1992.
Melbourne has to now appoint a new coach. The short list includes former Melb-
ourne players Stan Alves and Greg Wells, as well as former North Melbourne and
West Coast forward Ross Glendenning.

 In other news:
- Mark Bairstow of Geelong was admitted to hospital last night possibly
  suffering from viral pneumonia. The tests are only preliminary and he still
  may be a chance of playing on Sunday.

- Essendon's Greg Anderson will return to South Australia to play for the Crows
  next season. Adelaide had the option of picking up 6 uncontracted South Aust-
  ralians in 1991 and 1992, but there could only be one from a particular club.
  In their first year they picked up Tony McGuiness from Footscray, Danny Hughes
  from Melbourne and Bruce Lindner from Geelong. They are also hoping to entice
  Stephen Kernahan or Craig Bradley back to SA also.

Enough for today. Until tomorrow......
