Originally three of the four boys&#8217; quarter finals were scheduled for Sunday at the venue, but following a turf assessment the decision was made to switch venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>>> <strong>FORMAT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/2025\/08\/26\/fixture-2025-coates-talent-league-wildcard-round\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Coates Talent League Wildcard Round &amp; Finals<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dandenong Stingrays and GWV Rebels quarter final will remain unchanged, as will both girls&#8217; preliminary finals. However, the Eastern Ranges and Calder Cannons&#8217; clash has moved both day and venue, now scheduled for 2:10pm today at La Trobe University, Bundoora. It will be the second match of a double-header alongside the Eastern Ranges and Murray Bushrangers&#8217; girls match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other two changes involve the remaining couple of Toorak Park matches to be shifted to Shepley Oval in Dandenong which will also follow the girls&#8217; match. Dandenong Stingrays and Oakleigh Chargers open proceedings tomorrow from 10:30am, before Gippsland Power and Geelong Falcons take centre stage at 12:30pm. The finals action concludes with traditional metropolitan rivals Sandringham Dragons and Oakleigh Chargers teeing off from 3:00pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Updated from: >><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=200062&amp;action=edit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Coates Talent League finals fixtures set<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.central.rookieme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Oakleigh-girls-flag-photo-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-172847\" srcset=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Oakleigh-girls-flag-photo-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Oakleigh-girls-flag-photo-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Oakleigh-girls-flag-photo-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Oakleigh-girls-flag-photo-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Oakleigh-girls-flag-photo-128x85.jpg 128w, https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Oakleigh-girls-flag-photo-32x21.jpg 32w, https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Oakleigh-girls-flag-photo.jpg 1944w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Oakleigh Chargers are chasing a third-straight girls flag | Image Credit: Rookie Me Central<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-boys-quarter-finals-fixture\">BOYS QUARTER FINALS FIXTURE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dandenong Stingrays vs. GWV Rebels<br>Saturday September 6, 12:00pm @ Mars Stadium<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eastern Ranges vs. Calder Cannons<br>Saturday September 6, 2:10pm @ La Trobe University, Bundoora<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gippsland Power vs. Geelong Falcons<br>Sunday September 7, 12:30pm @ Shepley Oval<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sandringham Dragons vs. Oakleigh Chargers<br>Sunday September 7, 3:00pm @ Shepley Oval<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-girls-preliminary-finals-fixture\">GIRLS PRELIMINARY FINALS FIXTURE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Eastern Ranges vs. Murray Bushrangers<br>Saturday September 6, 12:00pm @ La Trobe University<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dandenong Stingrays vs. Oakleigh Chargers<br>Sunday September 7, 10:30am @ Shepley Oval<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-boys-finals-format\">BOYS FINALS FORMAT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>WC = Wildcard<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Finals&nbsp;Week 1: Quarter&nbsp;Finals (QF)<\/strong><br>1st QF: Highest ranked Metro WC winner vs. Highest ranked Metro WC loser<br>2nd QF: Second-highest ranked Metro WC winner vs Third-highest ranked Metro WC winner<br>3rd QF: First ranked Country\/Tas team vs Third-highest ranked Country\/Tas WC winner<br>4th QF: Highest ranked Country\/Tas WC winner vs Second-highest ranked Country\/Tas WC winner<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Finals&nbsp;Week 2: Preliminary&nbsp;Finals (PF)<\/strong><br>1st PF: Highest ranked Metro QF&nbsp;winner vs. Lowest ranked Country\/Tas QF&nbsp;winner<br>2nd PF: Highest ranked Country\/Tas QF&nbsp;winner vs. Lowest ranked Metro QF&nbsp;winner<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Finals&nbsp;Week 3: Grand&nbsp;Final &#8211;
