Well, here it comes, the last 'light' weekend before football returns proper for 2018. Where did all that time go by? Enjoy it, while it lasts. It gets bumpier from here...

Who plays? You would expect someone like Alex Fasolo, who played last Thursday night, or perhaps others like Darcy Moore or Jeremy Howe if they need the extra miles pumped into their legs (does one hitout a fortnight from the season opener qualify as enough?). Maybe even a James Aish if his leg is right to go? 14 of 15 available AFL players took the field against Richmond, a figure which should hopefully be replicated this coming Friday, as much for our entertainment as the list's preparation.

Over to you...

Reports are saying Elliott, Wells, Fasolo, Aish, etc. will play a 'scratch match' tomorrow, do they mean this VFL game v Coburg
or some match simulation during training tomorrow?

Online here at OPO.

Acting captain Matt Smith wins the toss, we're kicking (on by-election eve) to the Batman Avenue end.

As you will see by looking at the sheet, no AFL-listers in tonight, which means we have the interesting situation of a "pure" VFL vs VFL game.

And away we go...

[MagpieBat]

Bad miss by Stanford in the clear and on the charge...

1-0

[MagpieBat]

Strong contest in the pocket by Big Moose Close, ball spills to the back, Chippendale the open goal, we're on the board!

7-0

Is Batman a Chippendale?

I'm watching the original Batman on SBS with the mac while watching the laptop.

O'Sullivan delivers a bullet to Jack Blair at CHF, after Tardrew did well to spoil it down in the middle.

Blair hits up a leader, it's Close!

Close from 35m, slight angle... GOAL!

14-0

Great start.

[MagpieBat]

Borthwick (I think?) scores a free off the ball from a throw-in, forward pocket.

And he makes no mistake on the set-shot either!
