Once again, for the second successive week, 'tis a double header on Saturday: the curtain-raiser at Victoria Park, followed by the big rumble at the 'G.

Set your alarm clocks and pack your thermal garments, it's gonna be cold and early out there. Might want to also pack your running shoes and get your transport to the 'G worked out ahead of time - only the better part of 35 minutes between the end of the VFL and the start of the AFL.

All in the name of good television... Rolling Eyes

I'm hoping for an improved performance by Collingwood this weekend. Last week they were very ordinary and not enough players stepped up when it mattered. We can't leave it up to too few players, we need a team effort. If we play like we did against Port Melbourne earlier in the year, then we're capable of winning any match. I can't see why we can't pick up the four points this weekend even if Box Hill is 5 spots above us.

I'm thinking of heading to this one, but I get a feeling I'll be sleeping in and then will head straight to the Pies and Hawks match at the MCG, instead of doing the double-header.

Good to see Hodge finally make a return to footy. BH have similar issues to the Pies trying to squeeze Boumann, Pattison, Bailey, McCauley, and Lowden into their team. Could be the battle of the big blokes.

Great news about Didak returning. Let's hope he plays a blinder this week Very Happy

DIDAK IS BACK!!! Very Happy

And while I think that the ressies team doesn't get enough love, I really do hope we don't see Dids at VFL level for too long - we need him back and at his best, ASAP.

Bit more balanced this week but Box Hill are a good team.

Wood needs to run through Bailey at least once in a ruck contest and early. Give away the free kick; just let Bailey know he has an opponent.

Didak to be eased into the game.
Buckley should kill it at this level.
Clarke has to tighten up on the defensive side to his game.

And Ricardo Ferraro will be the 32nd forward and will still pick up possession after possession. Shocked

we might be able to see the 3 irish guys play in the same team, which could be intresting. also keep in mind 1 of clarke, mooney, bucks will not be playing and will be on stand by for the afl team. but if the 3 of them are playing at vic park they will not be playing afl.

dids will play at least 3/4 of the game as he might be in afl side next week.

just wait till the krak and caff to be in the vfl in the coming weeks and then the team will change alot.

10:30 am?

In the morning? WTF?

What a ridiculous time for a game of senior football.

^ Technically, yes, it is senior football in the VFL. But it's reserves level for us. But yeah, I agree. Ridiculous time for a game of footy.

At the very least, the AFL could have given us the 2:10pm slot for the Hawthorn game, would at least give our people the extra 30 minutes or so to make it to the 'G from Victoria Park. Idiots.

Double headers seem to work their best when the VFL is played at, say, 2:00pm and the AFL is at 7:40pm on Saturday. Although DTM probably would disagree with me on that. Apparently, there is not a whole lot to do in Melbourne when you have a couple of hours spare... Wink
