Should be a good game, actually. Both clubs are 6 & 3. Free admission at Vic Park by my understanding. Not a bad surrounding area for a beer either, nowadays - Collingwood.

It'd be good to see some decent numbers of those wearing red, white & blue, there. If any club's supporters should have a keen interest in how their young players are going, it's us.

Yep definitely my son and I will be there should be a good game. You're right there are plenty of bars to lean on along Smith Street but I'll be on the soda with my son in tow

Really looking forward to taking the short stroll from Richmond to Vicky Park to see the Mighty Dogs beat the pies for the second time in a week!

An example like Hunter playing on the ball is a great one to demonstrate the benefit of our own VFL side. I'm not sure Kachie would've been given the opportunity in a Williamstown alignment.

Russell warming the bench is also an example of the strength of the side. This is the best thing the club have done in many, many years. At this stage of his career I think Hunter will get as much out of playing on the ball for the seconds as he would out of rotating bench/HFF for the seniors. It's a great thing.

Equally, Stringer's opportunity to drop back and dominate a game or two is a good thing. And I get to go, stand and drink a couple of cans... Very, very happy with the Footscray side!

That's it. I want to smell doughnuts, hear the huddle, and not have to worry about annoying announcements.

My boy Prudden back!

Just had a look at the Collingwood team and they are using a lot of top up players this week.

By my count only 9 listed players for the Pies while we have 18. You would expect a Bulldog victory on those teams.

I'm looking forward to having a good look at Prudden. He's a potential bonus player. Bad run with injuries, but could really make a player.

Hey Remi, could you tell me what aussie digital is? Is it radio or tv. And how do I find it.
I'm very ignorant about this stuff. And what is red time?

Massive chance for some of the boys to put their names up for a slot in the seniors next week.
Roberts or Talia in for Roughhead and maybe Austin
Stringer or Hunter in for Gia
Cordy or Redpath (needs upgrade though) in for Grant
Honeychurch or Darley in for Tutt
