Over to you...

I be heading down to watch this game.

Was a Great Game last year where Grundy and Beams won us the Game.

Love to see Scharanberg Play Live for the 1st Time

I have been more engaged by the scoobs than the seniors all year. For anyone who hasn't been to see the boys at Vic Park, it is a lot of fun.

Can't wait to see Sharenberg. I actually hope that Grundy plays because my view is that he is actually a key forward, masquerading as a ruckman and I want to see him given time to develop.

Also, its worth going to the game just to see what J Marsh will do next. He is a ripper...

Saturday's squad released...

F: Dwyer Gault Lynch
R: Grundy Blair Kennedy
Int: Gray Hellier Wallace Riddle Ferguson Howe R. Pendlebury Allan Scharenberg Sinclair J. Williams Matheson* Moloney

Marsh back, thankfully.

So too Riddle.

Scharenberg survived his first hitout, so you all get to see him for the first time.

EDIT: And Luke Ball playing VFL? Is the end nigh...?

Kosh, I meant to get back to you from the Frankston game thread, apologies for missing you until now...

He is a gem, isn't he, Jon Marsh? It's a pity he's been restricted to the VFL only, in one sense, because I think he has been one of our hidden success stories in a barren year. Has made the transition to key defence very well and, while I know they're only doing it for development reasons, I'm now prepared to say that's the position he should be developed in.

In effect, he has the potential to become another Frost. Just whose spot he would take, well, that's another story, but he's been such a treat to watch grow this year...

Interesting point you make on Grundy. He actually was proficient as a key forward in his junior days. It would certainly allow him to co-exist with Witts in the seniors...

No Freeman. Hopefully next week.

What do we have to do to get an ABC broadcast?

[swoop42]

We've had one game on ABC this year haven't we?

That's another thing for me to get outraged about!

P.S-The hawks second on the AFL and VFL ladder.

We still have a way to go to catch them it would seem.

Wait another week, then tune in at 1pm on Saturday...

ha. the outrage. i think you might beat chessboy to a coronary.

[Dave The Man]

Moore is also a Chance too with being the 23rd Man

[Dave The Man]

Hope weather is better tomorrow then today

can you change it once it's been nominated for the round?

I like that... building enough outrage to get you through the entire off season

[MagpieBat]

You mean the 23rd man nomination?

I'm not entirely clear with the team lodgement rules, but I'd assume not, unless said 23rd man was injured on the day before the game (not entirely out of the question). But then to install another player as 23rd man, they'd have to meet the criteria, which from memory is 1st year in the VFL, and has only 3 games or less...
