Looking like a few injuries starting to mount with Drummond and CCJ missing this week joining Hampson Markov, Eggmolesse-Smith on the sidelines. Still a fairly strong side named with 14 AFL listed players currently named. Be interesting to see who is held over for the seniors who play straight after with a few senior players carrying niggles and I'd expect Miles would be the hold over given Ellis didn't play a couple of weeks back.

North are now fielding their own stand alone VFL side after having various alignments over the years featuring North Ballarat and Werribee. At present they have a 2-2 record. Their 2 wins are a 3 point win over Carltons VFL side(currently 13th) and a 52 point win over Coburg(currently last). Their 2 losses have been against Essendon(currently 7th) 66 points and Frankston(currently 14th) 13 points.

Their named squad features 20 AFL listed players so it will not be an easy game by any means and our boys will need to be on their games to get back on the winners list.

23P: 62. F. Cameron

Prediction: Tigers by 15-30 points in what should be a good game to kick start Sunday.

 

[Truetiger]

Hopefully make up for losing to the dogs last week.

 

[HTT]

Jeez that’s an early start

 

[Drofder]

Hampson is injured ? Shocked.

 

[Charlie Pannam]

No CCJ is disappointing I was looking forward to watching his marking skills under the roof.
Anyone know anything about his injury, not mentioned on the injury update on our website

 

[johnno77]

That timeslot on a Sunday will take most of the boys back to their under 9's days! I tried to take the dog for a run around that time last Sunday and every bloody field had junior footy on it.

At least playing one at Etihad frees up a ground!

 

[Tigers Time]

So I take it Miller has recovered from concussion?

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Jeez that’s an early start

Just noticed that starting time - 935 am!!! that’s ridiculous , Dan Connors special. Players will need to be at the ground by 730.
