VFL Practice Match: Casey vs Footscray

[Tracca 608]

Hey guys,

I was thinking of taking my 3 littlies tomorrow to the VFL game at the Whitten Oval.

Do I need to get tickets at all or can we just rock up?

[Diamond_Jim 11,740]

Not sure but every public event these days requires a covid plan and that usually includes ticketed entry.

Think it's possibly closed to the public but check that out.

The report says you can go to both games. I'll be going capacity of 1,000 it says. I'll be looking forward to seeing Kossie and Brayshaw play.

[Chelly 740]

Looking forward to regular reports from those venturing out west.

Let’s get started.

I can see, Gus, Kozzie, Petty, Laurie, Majak, Kobe (the Wiz in attendance), Bradtke, Declase, Rosman warming up. Haven’t noticed M. Brown yet although he and Petty look similar from a distance.

So I'm guessing Laurie and Petty aren't playing tonight?

Makes sense, means we are going in with 24 not 26.

Your guess is most likely correct. We’ll see if they get pulled early, no sign of M Brown.

Gus and Pickett starting in middle, Majak and Rosman forward.

Does Kozzie look fit enough to play rd 1 you reckon?

[Dee Zephyr 17,425]

Our defence is working overtime at the moment. We haven’t been poor, Dogs’ pressure is off the charts allowing us no space at all . 22-0 after 15.

He was in everything the first 5 mins or so and running both ways. Was rested after 6 mins and just came back on and has continued working hard. So far he looks fit to me bda.

[Dee Zephyr 17,425]

Majak is getting hands to the ball but struggling to mark, Rosman roved well off the pack and snaps our first, followed quickly by a smart Farmer goal. 23-12

Qtr time dogs 7.7.49 to 2.1.13

They dominated the last ten minutes of that quarter

[Dee Zephyr 17,425]

Quarter time and it’s 49-13 Dogs.

We had a really good patch in the middle of the quarter where the movement was quick and the forward line looked lively. Unfortunately after Kozzie hit the post which would have brought us within a kick the Dogs slammed 4 quick ones to end the term.

Kozzie our best, Farmer very lively up forward and Majak took a couple of strong marks in the end which will do his confidence no harm. Gus looks like he’s doing a lot of strong inside mid work. I was at the forward end but did notice Petty take a nice intercept mark.

[The Jackson FIX 2,288]

Thanks for the updates all. 

[DemonDave 1,078]

A goal to Daw from a free stems the tide finally. 

9.7 to 3.2

Dogs have plenty of talent out here Treloar, Richards and more

[Dee Zephyr 17,425]

Daw with his first goal courtesy of a free kick. Unfortunately all Dogs, 61-20
