If it's not next week, does anyone know if we have an intra club game?
Hopefully vs. the Crows in Melbourne. Nothing to learn from playing Port Adelaide ... they'll be bottom 4 for sure this year.

I think Bruce said in the call that they would play at Visy park
Both afl.com.au and superfooty.com.au have Adelaide playing Collingwood/St.Kilda in Alice Springs

Not sure if I'm going to believe Bruce, as he also said that West Coast would play Port at Etihad.
Hope it is at Visy though as I'll probably head down for a look.
I will most likely head to the match.+1.
Finish up at work tomorrow, so I have no real excuse.

We should be playing Adelaide at Etihad on possibly a Thursday night?

I'd rather face a different team to Freo/Melbourne in a practice game tbh.

We definately play the loser of Freo/Melbourne at Subiaco or Visy Park. Just read it in the NAB/Dreamteam preview Footy Record.
Hopefully Freo win so we dont have to head back to Perth

I wouldn't mind travelling a bit to practice our travelling ability abit.

I'd rather not tire our players out in pre-season by travelling too much. We stay in Melbourne and it's less risky injury wise, better recovery wise ect.
If Freo lose, why should they have 2 home games while we travel there twice??
Safe to say it'll be in Melbourne, probably more safe to say we'll be playing Melbourne anyway.

Safe to say if we're off to Subiaco again, Gumby won't play?
If he was to go to Perth though, should warm him up with a few flights over Melbourne, make sure that back is ok.

No matter where the game is played, Gumbleton will not play.
That I can assure you. Knights himself said that he was still nursing the back.
Would be surprised if we are travelling interstate again tbh.

when's the game on (time-wise I mean)? Might miss some of it because it's the last round before finals for Basketball, but I might have a look

Read in todays paper that essendon may play in either visy or subi, depending on the freo/dees outcome?
Mind you I was reading the West Australian which the previous week had a caption saying we had a "Todd Bellchambers" rucking for us... :rolleyes:
If thats the case, Im gonna barrack for Dees then so Bombers get to come back here and I get to watch them again.. plus not a big fan of freo.
And we might actually win here for once? would be nice and good practice for the season... :thumbsu:

The way things are going Subi will be our 3rd home ground in 2010.
AFL site has confirmed:
Loser of Frem/Melb v Essendon Visy Park Sat Feb 27 1.00pm
http://www.afl.com.au/nab%20challenge%20ticketing/tabid/15700/default.aspx
Might head down. I saw ticketing prices were rather low.
Free for AFL members, not sure about club members tho?
will be good to head to a sat arvo game for a change :rolleyes: - and we get to see Scully and Trengove in their 2nd hitouts as well.

I hate the fact that i have TAFE on Saturdays.. :(
i plan on watching two matches this week. the vfl team will be playing richmond's vfl team at craigieburn on friday night at 5.30pm - craigieburn have a new ground the same size as MCG with a great surface. will check that out for sure - jake carlisle is a local boy from craigieburn.
and then onto optus oval at 1pm on the saturday to watch essendon take on melbourne.
i should be able to give a good run down on all players as i believe all are in full training with the exception of gumbleton who only looks an outside chance of playing.

I believe Gumby's right to play a half, Hille might get a jog, Colyer's out injured (hand).
They wouldn't take any risks though. Wouldn't surprise me to see 3 or 4 not play with little 1 week niggles that they'd play through in the real stuff.
