[Dave The Man]

Will be missing this one again as I am not going that Far to Bendigo

[jackcass]

Really looking forward to this game. Number ANZAC day, Bendigo Friday night. Perfect!

[3rd degree]

When did Barnard get a street named after him?

[MagpieBat]

This game is on the radio.

Details in the OP.

[melliot]

Looking forward to this one.

Jolly, Ball, Krack, Dids....... Almost the seniors. Imagine Witts/jolly ruck combo.

Going to a corporate networking lunch at QEO prior with Shaw, Swan, and Blair as presenters on Friday too. Will be long arvo/ evening. So hope we win on ANZAC Day and they're in good spirits.

So big game tomorrow and another good day Friday to look forward too. Leaves totally free weekend too. So looking forward to a nice few days.


Bendigo are wooden spooners this year. It's their first year apart from the bombers and Aussie Jones as coach (also at the lunch). So Pies should have a big win.

At LAST, it's official. Welcome back, Bally!

Good to see Jolly back as well. And Johnson too.

And Dids and Krakouer again. Is this the reserves or the 2011 seniors?

Assuming no late changes later this afternoon, all 3 senior emergencies will be right to play...

[Jezza]

Great to hear that Luke Ball is one step closer to returning to senior footy. Hopefully he gets through the VFL unscathed.

We desperately need him as we've lacked that in and under player required to win a lot of games. We've coped extremely well without him, but when he does return, so much pressure and expectation will be lifted off the shoulders of the likes of Beams and Blair.

[MagpieBat]

^ Yeah, it's great, isn't it?

Just need to suffer no more injuries and to keep drip-feeding players back as they come online again...

[Fire Up]

Frost, Johnson, Williams, Witts, Didak, Thomas, Krakouer.

the above players need to have a good game this week. witts i can see playing with huddo (next week maybe) and just having lynch play chf. frost johnson and williams all going for toovs spot in back 6. then dids thomas and krak going for small forward/midfield role
