VFL Game Day Pies v Bendigo at Vic park 1pm Saturday

[Bombers36]

Might head out to this hell hole on Saturday - will bring back memories of the 80's....
We've got a pretty strong team in, suprising Dell'Olio not named but named as emergency for the seniors....No Myers, Davis or Lee either.

Slattery Pears Baguley
Williams Freezer Hunter
Merrett Reimers Kavanagh
Steinberg Maddern Gumby
Little Ladson McVeigh

Shinners Duscher Colyer

Long Thompson McPhee
Putt Mee* Dalgleish
Browne Stroobants Collins


Good to see Gumby back - hopefully this time in he can live up to the hype and push for a senior spot towards the end of the year. No doubt Pears & McVeigh will need to perform if they are to win back senior spots. Shows our list is in good shape.

No Myers - He apparently has been off the injury list for a week or two now, I wonder what's actually wrong with him.
Pears - I think he is in our best 21 so I would expect him to get back into the senior side soon.

 

[Doss]

How much is entry? I notice when I've driven past the back of the ground (think the street is Trenery Crescent) that VP appears pretty much open to view now, so does one really have to pay entry at all?

 

[daffo]

about 10 bucks

 

[Atavistic]

Very exciting lineup - Gumby, The Beard, Merrett, Kav, Browne, etc. Wish it was on the telly.

Ridiculously exciting line up.

There is some serious quality and speed playing for Bendigo this week.

I'm happy that a lot of the younger guys all seem to be getting a steady run of matches under their belts. Kav, Long, Merrett, Dalgleish and even Hunter have all played a reasonably good amount of football considering that it is still relatively early in the season and each had fitness issues going into the year. Don't underestiamte the development that comes from plaing in the VFL each week (combined with training on an AFL list).

Even Browne is playing.

Colyer, Pears and Gumbleton together in the twos is actually a really encouraging sign of what is to come. I am all for Trav being given a run in the twos rather then being wasted as an emergency (or to a lesser extent as a sub).

Hopefully Myers' omission from the side is more the result of caution than anything more sinister.

 

[Loonerty]

Kav's birthday tomorrow, hope Bendigo pick up a win.

 

[Essendonia]

Might see how Gumby goes in his (most recent) comeback match.

Go Gold!

 

[cAsEy_18]

Probably gonna head down, 1pm start you say?

Now heading from Frankston, I'm probably going to get off at Richmond, walk to Jolimont station and get the train to Collingwood (I'm assuming the ground is close to Collingwood station?) Does this sound right to anybody, or am I taking a long route here?

Cheers fellas, go for gold

EDIT: Ahh I see there is actually a Victoria Park station, how silly of me, perhaps that is a better option than Collingwood haha. Still, would getting off at Richmond and walking to Jolimont be the best idea you reckon? (Clearly don't get off the Frankston line much).

 

[Snake Charmer]

Lads, Whats going on with Lee????

That or just walk along Hoddle Street (which Richmond station is above) and eventually you'll come to West Richmond station. Which is on the same line as Victoria Park.

Best of Luck Gumby

Hope you do well and string a few good games together, to further add to our depth

 

[VelvetSledge]

Does anyone know how much it costs to get into a VFL game? Can't say I've ever been before and I'm heading in via the Lilydale line in half an hour or so.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Hey guys;

I'll be heading down to the game with a mate so I might drop some of my observations on your guys here if you want a neutral opinion.

Costs about $5-10 depending on the ground and your age IIRC.

Grouse, thanks mate.

 

[Knighta21]

Is this game on the ABC??

 

[Ess_don]

Geez that line up is so mouth-watering.. wish I could watch that instead of streaming the "blockbuster" that is Port v North

Looking forward to the extensive write-ups and actual pics of Gumby, Hunter et al running around!

 

[lloyd18]

Any TV or radio broadcast ?

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

As it's the 1pm game it will be on ABC; live gentlemen.

Nah the Northern Blues clash is on TV... unfortunately

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Nah, I though that but the 1.10pm game between Werribee Tigers and Northern Blues is on ABC.

 

[lloyd18]

Radio then ?

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Nope, nothing.

Blitz will probably have people regularly updating on play by play action.

Please drop some observations!
Gumby watch!!!

Quite a few of us here will be able to do writeups, too.
