Fans wishing to watch both games would be advised to leave Docklands Stadium at three quarter time in order to make it to Olympic Park for the first bounce.

Over to you...

Well with the Forecast of Possible Thunderstorm's I could miss it.

Depends who is Playing IF Stop at Richmond and Head down.

I would not leave at 3QTR Time just to see the Whole VFL Game.

Only 21 here, so I assume whoever gets cut for NAB 3 will come back to make up the numbers...

[Dave The Man]

Anyone there.

Heading there now

[MagpieBat]

[MagpieBat]

Toovey and Oxley are out there...

[MagpieBat]

Pies have won the toss, kicking to the Yarra Falls end.

Ben Moloney, not originally named, out there for his 2nd run in 6 days, but I can't see the skipper Jack Hellier.

Seems Cal Matheson is acting skipper today...

We're starting a few minutes late....

[MagpieBat]

White moving down again into defence.

Cox starting 1st ruck, Howe's gone to FF.

Okay, let's get going.

Game 2 of the practice match fixture underway!

[MagpieBat]

Some guy in Minson's #27 (who isn't obviously Minson) tries to dinky one home...

0-1

[MagpieBat]

Hrovat (I think?) wins a free from a stoppage and converts the set-shot.

0-7

[MagpieBat]

Cox against Roughead in the ruck...

[MagpieBat]

White picks a pocket, throws it on the boot down the corridor, Howe marks just inside the 50.

Decides on a short option and finds the tallest man on the ground on his own inside the paint!

From 45m, 20d... GOAL!

6-7

[MagpieBat]

The hipster squatter in Minson's #27 wins a free deep forward for something or other, and converts.

6-13

Again, I don't have a team sheet, so it's play-by-ear...

[MagpieBat]

A missed flying shot for them

6-14

[MagpieBat]

Somebody in Picken's #42 who obviously isn't Picken gets loose over the back in the goal square and kicks another for them.

6-20
