Sounding ominous, all the AFL/team sites are disastrous. Fingers crossed they get this (one) right.

Could be a double banger bing

They then have to get everyone to Luna Park the next day when the GP is happening half a KM away.

Guys,

Just some more info for those attending on Saturday.

If travelling by car take the 3rd turn off to Ballarat from the Freeway. You need to turn off towards the A300 and then will have an intersection which is Creswick turn right and Ballarat turn left. Obviously here you turn left and just follow this road and the ground is only 5 mins drive.

For those thinking of staying over...GOOD LUCK! Most of the City is booked out due to The Red Hot Summer Tour on Saturday night...best I can offer is a link to wotif.com

The other games that have been streamed have been smooth and good quality, I wouldn't worry

I believe max into the ground is 8000 and after playing our first game away there should be good crowd there. I think the Club/AFL were advising members that if there are more than 8000 you may not get entrance to the ground. So you should (if they are still available) by a $6.00 ticket from Ticketek (I think) which will ensure that you get in - just quote your membership number.

With quoting your membership number to get the ticket for $6.00. How do you do it online? I put my membership number in didn't work. Do you have to ring up?

I'd be looking at The Western Hotel in Sturt St.

http://www.westernhotel.com.au/

The North Britain or The North Star/ Seymours are both walking distance from the Train Station and closer to the ground. Foods pretty good at both.

I think the crowd last year was reported as over 9000.

I got a phone call today from North Sports Club reconfirming our lunch and dinner booking we made 2 months ago. We were told interest in the day was unprecedented.

Has SEN been broadcasting the non-televised matches?

Fairly certain SEN said they were broadcasting all NAB games. This was mentioned when the non-TV-broadcasting of six NAB games was discussed.

Ins and Outs for the Doggies... Assuming Watts, Viney and Brayshaw are coming into the squad, and Hogan pulls up ok, who's up for omission?

  • Hogan if rested, justify keeping both Dawes and Pedersen in.
  • VandenBerg may be given another crack, but as sub may go out for Watts up forward.
  • JKH was least of the new amigos (Garlett, Kent and JKH) so may go out for Viney/Brayshaw

Ins: Watts, Viney, Brayshaw.

Outs: JKH, McKenzie, Pedersen

Certainly will be a big day. Last year I was at the North v Blues game and official crowd was 7850 give or take a couple. Certainly room for a few more but then viewing options become limited.

They won't have 8000 'booked' tickets so if you get there early you'd be safe. I'm local so it's like 10 mins to the ground so 2.30 I'll be there to soak up the build up.

You still have Bail in, I thought your three outs were all better than Bail last Thursday

I was toying with taking Matt Jones out, most clangers and most Frees Against... 11 in total, was probably the difference...

But reckon Roos wants solid bodies, run all day players in for Rd 1 over kids. Make the kids learn to run like M Jones and Bail AND deliver silky skills and they'll get a game. Hence wanting to see how Brayshaw goes... although I doubt he has the engine for 4 quarters of AFL just yet.

So, can we?

I can't see Brayshaw getting a game, Stretch would be ahead of him for a start.

It will be interesting to see if they persist with Pedersen after his shocker last week.

Roos usually doesn't make changes for the sake of making changes especially after a good performance so the handful of maligned players will get another chance to redeem themselves.

Hogan will definitely be rested we can't afford to take even the slightest risk with him and then bring him back for the Dons game.

North Ballarat Roosters chief executive officer Mark Patterson said preparations had gone smoothly for the match, with expectations of a crowd size between the 4000-7000 mark – slightly lower than that for the North Melbourne v Carlton encounter last year, which drew about 8000.

Patterson said the AFL had already distributed about 2200 tickets, with 700 more already pre-sold.

Quote from today's Ballarat Courier....

Given Bradshaw just extended and would be unlikely to play early in the season proper, if I were Roos I'd give him a run, just so he's more aware of the level he needs to hit and play at for 4 Q against real AFL opposition. Like blooding him, so when his debut rolls around he'll know what to expect.

That said, I like the idea of honing in on our best 22 for rd 1.

On Hogan, if he's recovered and unlikely to damage his foot by playing, I'd play him. We need to build fluency in the forward like and the more the forward 6+ play together, the better we'll be rd 1. I recall Jimmy managed to play despite some discomfort over his career...

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
