The Mighties take on traditional rivals The Bombers at Victoria Park in the prelude to the big ANZAC Day clash at The G.

For all those that will miss the sold out AFL game, come on down to the home of the Mighty Magpies and cheer on Rowdy's boys.

It will be the first time since 2000 that we get to see the 1990 gf kits in action.

Surely Jack wont line up?
Saw him at Casey with a moon boot & a pronounced limp.

Can't believe this game isn't being played in Bendigo as a Bumbers home game. Would appear to be an ideal way to promote the competition outside the Melbourne metro area.

Even the return bout which is actually the Bumbers scheduled home game in round 16 isn't being played in Bendigo, it's at Windy Hill.

Really?
Wow, I gotta get me one of those moon boots.

Rusling on the bench is a concern. Perhaps still "sore" and therefore not a certainty...

[jonesy86]

VFL pies in a canter this week with O'Bree, Lockyer, Brown and Anthony all playing.

[eddiesmith]

Should be a good game, hope Rusling plays was looking forward to the Cloke v Rusling battle

[Hm]

Rusling on the bench is a concern. Perhaps still "sore" and therefore not a certainty...

.. in his last year at the club.

Jason Cloke and Hayden Skipworth are the 2 "big VFL names" for Bendigo, and they starred last week when they thumped Port Melbourne.

Won't be an easy game, but depending on the weather (pissing down at the moment) it should be another high quality match.

I'm going again tomorrow, looking to make all our Vic Park matches this year, and yes, anyone who doesn't have tickets to the G on Sunday, come along, Saturday 2pm, and see some future stars along with some current and maybe past ones.

Big game for the VFL team, a 2-1 start to the season would be very good given our main aim is player development.

[Cangaru]

I'll be there no doubt about it all at Vic park away depending where it is and if I can get there?? Goooooo PPPIiieesss!!!! You little beauty!!!!

[AN_Inkling]

Jack's moon boot was always more precautionary than anything. Played out the game when he did the injury, in the VFL, so couldn't have been that serious.

Great to see McCarthy, Rusling and Rounds all named, hope they play.
