Wont be the same without Shae, but I'm looking forward to seeing the new look team.

Has been released in the week prior to Christmas the last few years, so expect it to be the same this year.

[Dave The Man]

Thanks For That

[Presti35]

Fantastic!

Love the friday night games.... will make mini trips out of those weekends. Will head up to Ballarat on the sunday too I think.

Its a good fixture, not worried about the one clash.

[Jezza]

Once again, thanks for that MagpieBat. Looking forward to the Friday night clashes, it'll be interesting to see how it goes in the VFL.

Considering the players we've recruited over the off-season, I have renewed optimism about the VFL side next year. I reckon it's going to be a good year.

[MagpieBat]

^ No problems, Jezza. It was my pleasure!

Well, the club have now gotten around to summarising the VFL fixture for themselves.

Also, Tapping goes into more detail regarding the VFL squad, what the new rookies will bring to the table, and there's photos giving us a pictorial update on the progress of some senior favourite sons:

[John Wren]

our rnd 3 game vs frankston coincides with the richmond game. i hope it gets moved.

[MagpieBat]

^ Me too.

Might there be a chance that the club could petition the VFL/AFL Victoria to re-schedule the game on the Sunday? Or perhaps start it at 10:30am the Saturday morning?
