Hey guys I was just wondering how many of you will be turning up to this game? I know alot of you have the "I Don't care about the pre season" attitude, but it's a great chance to see those players who have been out injured, back in action and of course our new recruits. I for one will be going, should be good.

Would love to go, but there is a little issue called 'work' getting in my way <_<

Whether you care about the results or not, it is still a good opportunity to go watch the team play, be it badly and without care, but they're still wearing red & blue!

Yep will be there. Live in Parkville so no excuses.

Looking forward to it and I'll be on Yze watch.

Might even do a player by player summary after the match.

That would be great, for those of us living in Sydney, Brisbane, etc, who cant make it down to MC Labour Park on Saturday

Looking forward to it

Yeah, I'll be there, hopefully it's a cool, but sunny day, few beers on the terrace.

More likely it'll be low 30's and sunny, you'll have to work a bit harder on the beers.

Yeah, I'll be there. I'll file a match report for Demonland if thats any help?

I will be there with bells on

I think Bring back powell is planning to do one

How much to get in?

[Check the Next Week thread]

Thats cool if dees-rule-4-eva does one as well.

It will be good for people not going to the game to get more than one perspective.

My report will be focussing more on a player by player summary and a score out of 10.

Hope to get it released by 6:00pm Saturday night.

No prob, mine won't be too in depth. People who have read my match reports before will know I just give an outline of the game and best players.

Cheers for reports sucks to live outside vic but you get used to it

Let me do a bit of crystal balling and guess what some peoples match reviews will say:

"Yze hardly got a kick, looked disinterested and soft, should be dropped for Round 1"

"Brad Miller, WTF?"

"Godders was Godders"

"Nathan Jones carved them up, but only for a half"

"Chris Johnson looked comfortable at this level"

"Mark Jamar hardly touched the ball around the ground, and Paul Johnson was hopeless in the hitouts"

Seems like I hardly need to go therefore, but probably will anyway.

PS. By the way, dont get me wrong I really appreciate the match reports people do, hopefully no offence is taken

That would be alright by me

As DemonStorm said it certainly suckcks not living in victoria to see any of these games, but i have got used to being snubbed by sydney reporters (newspaper and tv) regarding the dees

More likely it'll be low 30's and sunny, you'll have to work a bit harder on the beers.

Perfect!

When I meant cool, I was just hoping it wouldn't be 39 - 40.

Unfortunatly not me..iam at a music festival in the country.

Where is this place anyway??

Just wondering = is it going to be humid?

Hope it is not for u guys because it will be an absolute stinker if it is, even if it is in the low 30s

The reason i am saying this is because where i live in sydney it has been pretty humid in the last week

No offence taken mate. And you are probably spot on with the comments I'll make. I'd like to add to that list ... writing some glowing reports about Bruce, Green & Pickett would make my day.

Where is this place anyway??

Not sure if this was a serious question, but it's at the ground formerly known as Optus Oval (and before that, Princes Park).

I'd go along, but I'll be playing cricket.

It's free for members.

Paid up but got no card yet, hope it comes today or tomorrow. I'd rather not donate $10 to the AFL.

We seem to be going in with a much stronger squad this week.

Senior Listed Players not named in the squad for Saturday:

McLean (inj)

Paul Johnson

Sylvia (inj)

Petterd

Garland

Newton

Godfrey

Wheatley (inj)

Weetra

Warnock (inj)

Neville

Bartam (inj)

We have to cut 2-4 players.

You'd think TJ may miss.
