I guess this got moved from PCO? All the Northern Blues news and tweets say Ikon but I've seen 2 different fixtures (including the one on the NB website) which says PCO.

This game and next roung got moved to Princes park because the ground at Preston wasn't suitable. 2 games later in the season will be moved from Princes to Preston.

Hopefully we can find another radio feed of this game. There are just so many guys I'm interested in following. I actually really enjoyed listening to last weeks game. Gave me the Blues fix I needed in the day before the big game (Getting the win certainly helped too). Saying that, VFL coverage desperately needs a revamp, IMO. Not having any coverage at all for some of these games is very disappointing. He need to see or hear - in real time - how our next generation of superstars are performing!

Hello! This is why I bang on about the sooner a reserve comp is brought back and our seconds fixture is aligned more with seniors the better.
All our AFL day games should have a curtain raiser before it so we can see in real time more of our own players developing in the grade below out firsts.
Night games play the seconds on the same day at ground nearby. Would make so much more sense that the bullshit fixturing we have now that are totally not aligned with AFL teams.

Totally agree. I used to love going to games early to watch the reserves play. It became so ingrained in my football-going experience that even when they stopped playing curtain raisers, my dad and I would still arrive at games over an hour early. It's just staggering that they don't have dedicated weekly TV/Radio coverage considering the quality of some of the blokes running around in these games. Obviously the interest in the reserves isn't all that great, but surely there's still enough interest to warrant some sort of regular and consistent coverage?

How is Werribee travelling? Normally a tough game.

They're 5th on the ladder with a 2-1 record, and coming off a three-point loss against Geelong (9th on the ladder). We're 6th on the ladder with a 2-0 record. Their percentage, however, is 131%, while we're sitting at 102%.
 
Werribee

B: 21. L. Pinnuck, 14. T. House, 30. M. Spencer
HB: 18. R. Hebron, 26. D. Nielson, 7. D. McFarlane
C: 15. K. Declase, 4. T. Gribble, 22. B. Malual
HF: 29. D. Brew, 10. J. Maishman, 8. J. Henderson
F: 17. M. Augerinos, 5. N. Coughlan, 2. M. Munro
R: 31. A. Clarke, 11. M. Hanson, 9. J. Clayton

This is the Werribee team to play against us.
DeClase was a NB, there's a few ex AFL players there, but no Barlow playing tomorrow.

Also where is Schumacher?
Did he just enter a portal to another Universe and vanish from this one after Lebois came back to this one ?
Is this how it works?

You’d need to get there a bit earlier nowadays as any pre-game / curtain raisers need to vacate the ground some time before the AFL begins, though this was reduced from last year.

You’ll have some test runs for the NB’s this year in the VFL curtain raisers planned.

At least two of the selected won't front up. My guess is Cuningham & Polson.

If three are no-shows, one can be confident in thinking that CCurnow won't be playing.

Polson probably needs to play, stop/start year and another bye ahead soon.
He & Schumacher need to get out on the park.

No coverage?

Hoping for some twittercine60 updates, live blog posts from the Hark De Triomphe or possibly some Views from De Mond(yboy)...

Two weeks in a row they've announced it last minute. :p

Hopefully the club has learned a thing or two about livestreaming since last year.
