Have you ever played there? Ohhh, it's bloody cold with the breeze chopping in of Hobson's Bay.

Weather forecast looks ok for Sunday which is a bonus.. Quite possibly the worst ground to play on in the greater Melbourne area on a cold & windy day.

Yep. That draft from the water is very cold and hits you right in the back.

Wear two jumpers, one with long sleeves and run around a lot.

And that's just in the dressing room before you go out on the ground!

Footscray have named a near unchanged line up to face Williamstown on Sunday afternoon.



The Dogs welcome back Will Minson, while potential father-son recruit Darcy MacPherson will be the designated 23rd man.



MacPherson is the son of former Bulldog Stephen MacPherson who played 188 games betwee 1982-95.



MacPherson Jnr currently plays with the Northern Knights in the TAC Cup competition and is eligible to join the Dogs at this year’s NAB AFL Draft.



Alex Greenwood, David Iaccarino, Josh Grabowsi, Anthony Barry, Meyrick Buchanan and Tom Sharp could also return to the line up after being named on an extended bench.

Still no Roberts or Roughy.

Clearly more serious injuries than we anticipated.

Yep, wish we knew what was going on. Critical to our finals campaign that these 2 are right.

The 'hot spot' on the foot of Roughead I don't believe was accurate and Roberts doesn't normally return from injuries early.

We really need them back for round 22 so they can get some game time before finals. Fingers crossed they can be back in the VFL side next week,mother wise the focus turns to playing finals without them.

Hoping Tom plays well and keeps getting more confidence in himself. Good to hear Mino is back.

Saying that Roughy ran on Thursday, but didn't pull up well... Hope he is back soon.
