STATE LEAGUE footy is back and you can catch every game LIVE and FREE on the AFL Live Official App and AFL.com.au.

With just three rounds remaining the VFL home and away season, there are still at least 13 sides capable of making a run for the premiership. But with two of those teams - Sandringham and Sydney - on a bye this round, they would both need a minor miracle to reach the top 10. 

Greater Western Sydney remains the best hope of sneaking into a finals berth, the 11th-placed Giants taking on fifth-placed Box Hill in what looms as a massive Sunday morning clash in Blacktown. Werribee looked to have sewn up top spot ahead of a match with Southport on Saturday, while Gold Coast was hanging onto eighth spot before taking on Coburg. The round kicked off on Friday afternoon with a battle between Footscray and Casey, with Frankston and Port Melbourne meeting in a Friday night game.

In the WAFL, Claremont traveled to take on top-of-the-ladder Peel Thunder in a bid to keep its finals chances alive, while East Fremantle v South Fremantle could also determine who makes the final five.

The SANFL is having a bye round across the competition this weekend, before resuming for the final three weeks of the home and away season.
