Note:
- As you have probably worked out, this match will serve as an off-Broadway prelude to the clash between the senior sides from the same two clubs across the Jolimont Yards at the MCG. The VFL match will finish at approximately 2:00pm, leaving fans just over an hour to get from the inhospitable terraces of Olympic Park to the comfortable surrounds of the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Milestone:
- Gus Borthwick: 50 games

Over to you...

There is no doubt 4 afl players to come out of that side, regardless that is a very strong vfl side on paper.

[MagpieBat]

4 will definitely come out and likely an extra one as well as stand-by for the seniors (who hopefully won't be needed). People have told me it would be cruel, but in that situation, I nominate Chris Mayne for the job...

[RudeBoy]

I'm confused????

Aren't all those italicised players already picked for the seniors game?

[MagpieBat]

Maybe read my post again. And pay attention to the fact that the senior interchange bench is in bold, not italics...

[MagpieBat]

Jack Hellier wins the toss, we're kicking to the MCG end.

No Ben Crocker. And I dn't see Josh Daicos out there either.

Gus Borthwick starting game #50 on the bench.

Alright, here we go, Round 6 of the VFL!

[melliot]

If Gus is wearing #50, then I assume Jamie isnt out there?

[MagpieBat]

Brilliant steall by Wills in traffic, just can't finish the snap...

1-0

[MagpieBat]

Textbook crumber's pick-up and snap by McCarthy for the Cats, goal...

1-6

[MagpieBat]

Out of the middle, Howe slaps it on the boot, a real wobbler into the 50, McLarty on the ground level receive, snaps, INSTANT RESPONSE!

7-6

[MagpieBat]

If Gus is wearing #50, then I assume Jamie isnt out there?

He's playing game #50...

[MagpieBat]

Good repeat pressure by our boys to lock it in the forward 50, Jack Blair quick release through traffic to Chippendale, the big man snaps... and GOALS!

13-6

^oppps. OK.
