Reminder we are playing tomorrow, sunday, february 28 at 10am at Gosch's Paddock...

Melway map reference 2G E10...

TRAIN... to richmond station, walk south down punt road (city side). Walk past the collingwood training ground. If you come to boulton parade, you have gone too far...

CAR... free parking may be available at the punt road oval. If not, you can try the richmond side streets south of swan street, but I prefer the commercial car park in swan street...

WEATHER... extended forecast says 23 degrees, morning showers and thunderstorms . The operative word is "showers", so footy boots are a must ...

people, it's melbourne so bring water AND suncreen !!!

helpers... we have never had enough additional water, so don't slack off on your commitments...

please bring additional jumpers (if you have them) for players without, and players from other sites who put up their hands to play for you guys if necessary...

AFTER MATCH DRINKS... cricketers arms hotel, punt road, was closed last time, so follow the crowd...

see you sunday at 10am or thereabouts...

10.30am pies v dees

11.20am dons v tigers (extra players from other sites allowed on schoolyard pick)

12.10pm losers play

1pm winners play

2pm clean-up and pub time...

The timing is beautiful folks. I'm taking my daughter to one of those arty movies later in the afternoon so hopefully I'll get my fix of some real culture in the morning.

Meanwhile I'm heading off to Visy Park shortly and I promise to keep a close eye on Dean Bailey and his coaching tactics and strategies to use as pointers for tomorrow. The word is that he left the playbook at home last weekend and things will be different this arvo (we hope)

Rollo,

Luke cant make it anymore, and Sean is most likely out to.

I will be there, but because of some upcoming SAC's i may not be able to be there all day, so i will play the first match and see from there. If i cant stay i might put my hand up for the Don's Tigers game.

Alas, poor Redleg has done his back and says he's not up to it. It's also his birthday tomorrow at midnight (born 29 Feb!) and he's having brunch with the missus.

Appreciate a couple of assistants.

Good luck tomorrow guys. Hopefully Jo will get down there and give you a hand with umpiring.

Can't wait to see some pics and match report.

Go Dees!

got my hands on a camera so might try take a few... alas only for first game, but hey.

hey, jack...

are you going to tell us how releg injured his back ??

you have two proven assistants that I can count, demonrevival and legend...

hopefully, grimes4's dad will be there again too...

rollo and bbbarassi have other jobs, as you know - bribing umpires, timely blowing of the siren, and creative goal umpiring to mention just a few...

dropping like flies, we are...

toot has caught the hamstring disease from heater, and funky has busted a finger playing cricket...

could somebody find doggo (wherever he is drinking tonight) and remind him he has a game tomorrow ??
