The AFL for Thursday & Friday 24 & 25/9/1992
--------------------------------------------
 Welcome to the penultimate day of the 1992 season. The teams have been announ-
ced for Saturday's Grand Final, and the unlucky players to be left out of the
teams are Andrew Bews for Geelong and David Hynes and David Hart for West Coast.
Into the Geelong team is Neville Bruns who will probably play his last game on
Saturday. West Coast have included Michael Brennan and Brett Heady. The teams
are:

 West Coast's Guy McKenna is still under an injury cloud. He has an injured
back as well as hamstring and groin trouble. He must be tested tomorrow. In
other news:

- Terry Daniher will play his last game tomorrow for Essendon in the Reserves
  Grand Final. Daniher has played 313 games for Essendon and South Melbourne.

- Richmond's captain Dale Weightman has resigned the position for the 1993
  season. Vice-captain Jeff Hogg is the most likely replacement.

- AFL Executive Commissioner Alan Schwab has said a team from Tasmania would
  be almost 10 years away. Schwab says that Tasmania is the third priority
  team behind a second Western Australian side and a second South Australian
  side.

- North Melbourne's Donald McDonald has quit the club and will coach Werribee
  in the 1993 season.

 Enough for today. There is more news but this will do for now. I hope you all
enjoy the game tomorrow.
