I won't be going again as it WAY too far to Travel there and back.

Hope we win and glad to know there be a Video Replay of it

 

[Swooop]

I be in hobart sadly, still haven't been to VFL this year

Dave, perhaps you could grab a ride on the team bus?

Hitch hiking maybe an option ... but that could be a bit dodgy perhaps.

Always a good game vs Cats and away from Cattery for a change.

Sounds great, except I cannot get on the damn site at all these days- at least a week now...

Is Sharon Berg playing this week? What's a realistic stint in the VFL before he comes under serious consideration for a debut? Sometime say after round 15 of the AFL season? A bit Grundy-esque? Get 6-7 games into him before the seasons out? Someone tell me.

I dont have the answer JJ. But Schazza is very very rusty. He's missed a lot more footy than Grundy did in his early months at Collingwood. Still not convinced we'll see him in the seniors this year. Hope I'm wrong.

i think it would be a great result if he simply played all year in the vfl and get a proper pre season into him( he hasnt done one yet) and see how he goes in 2016

If fit the whole season, he'll get a few games after the bye, in my opinion.

Looking forward to this, a home game although I'm staying over in Melbourne for the Friday night game at the G, head back to Benders around lunchtime.

Hope we don't play shazza. Don't wanna send him to this ground again!

Scharenberg has played pretty much no football for 2 and a half years.

If he plays the rest of the year in the VFL it'll be a big step forward.

Best case scenario is 2016 imo, but it could easily be 2017 or 2018 until we see his best, we have to be patient and realize just how much football he has missed.

 

[vjknight]

walk dave.

start walking now.

i'll set up water bottles and loo stops along the way.

This is key. It would be asking an awful lot for anything other than a clear run at it in the VFL this year.

Although I can get on the afl site no problem - I can't get on the individual club sites.

Not the grounds fault he'll be right

Could be an important part of his recovery to get through this game

 

[Mkcaptain]

Keep him at the other end of the ground to where he did the knee. Swap him between forward and defense each quarter

Seeing as it's a fair bit about between the ears, yep.

 

[Kirby]

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the surface of that ground. Just's just a mental thing that he'll have to get over.

What if he was injured at the MCG?

No doubt.

Bumping this in light of the mail regarding Witts' recall to the seniors (and also so that it's on the front page when I need it ), but it looks like those up in Bendigo on Saturday night may get to see a rather unusual duel for the majority of the night in the ruck - Mason Cox vs Padraig Lucey.

The United States of America vs the Republic of Ireland.

May the best immigrant win.
