Note:
- As you can probably work out, this match is scheduled to begin halfway through the first quarter of the senior side's clash with another Port in Port Adelaide at the MCG. This will mark the first of two such mind-numbingly stupid instances of fixturing courtesy of AFL Victoria over the next three weeks, with the reserves also set down to play Geelong at Kardinia Park on July 8th at the same time that the seniors are playing against Essendon at the MCG.

Over to you...

I got a free weekend at last.
And I find this out!

Absolutely stupid.

If the seniors goes as expected against Port, you can probably watch us lose that and then still get across to three quarters of the Port Melbourne game.

Sick of seeing us lose.
The draw fits in with my observation of footy 2017.
The year from Hell!

Good that they've finally accepted that Keeffe is a KPD, if that's what the selection actually signifies.

[npalm]

I suspect they know that he is a KPD but we have plenty of KPDs (Reid, Dunn, and Schade with Goldsack and Howe also capable against tall forwards) it's KPFs that we're short of.
White's return probably frees up Keefe to return to defence.

I actually thought Keefe showed something last week playing forward. He presented well. And his attack on the ball was pretty good.

[npalm]

Happy to see Wills back. Provides a bit of grunt! (and we all like a bit of grunt)

Pretty good back 6 fit if they play to potential

He's currently in the BatCave, in the BatCloner. MB and MB Mk II will revert shortly.

Couldn't he just put his spare batsuit on Blair and save the time in the cloner?

[Pies4shaw]

Blair doesn't need to wear a cape to press for senior selection, Stui.

[MagpieBat]

Are you attending the seniors or the reserves match MB?

Neither. Scheduling conflict of my own means I'm spared the choice.

I'll keep the scoreboard updated in here for those just wanting a sitrep between goals in the seniors, though, using the links in the OP...

I wouldn't defile my suit in such a fashion...
