Note:
- This match will, of course, serve as an off-Broadway production prior to the senior side's clash with Hawthorn at the MCG at 7:25pm. Fans wanting to watch both games will have about an hour to get from the sidelines of Olympic Park to their seats at the 'G.

any idea who will be held over for the AFL MB?

[Presti35]

Mayne better kick 8 goals. I've had enough.

[MagpieBat]

any idea who will be held over for the AFL MB?

Well, one of the emergencies, you would think...

Seriously though, I have a suspicion it will be Scharenberg, given the rumours around Goldsack (back complaint). Even then, given the scheduling of the game and the context of next week's VFL bye, I wouldn't be surprised if the give 'Berg a first half in the 2nds tomorrow, just to keep him in a bit of football in the event he isn't required in the seniors...

[CoastPie]

Thanks MB, hoping the Sack gets to play his 150th with a win against the dorks,
not that I don't want the Schaz to get a game, any idea what the weather forecast is for the AFL game?

[CoastPie]

with a dry track they may bring in the big Cox then?

[MagpieBat]

Perhaps. I was actually surprised he wasn't named last night.

But if Cox comes in for Goldsack, then they'll have to re-shuffle a little...

[CoastPie]

Phillips maybe, but if they do the sharenberg brigade will be up in arms

[MagpieBat]

Cox the hold-over...
