I’m looking forward to this, just hoping we can get through the afternoon without rain and hectic wind.

If it can stay as it is right now until 6pm, I’ll be happy.

What’s the dogs form been like in the vfl. Do we match up well against them? Have we beaten them this year?

Beat them 2 weeks ago by under a kick. Lost to them earlier in the year by under a kick. It’ll be a tight battle.

Good luck to all those people heading to Port Melbourne oval. It’s too ■■■■■■ cold to be standing around at the game for my liking.

Trying to find out if there will be radio coverage on SEN or other or via streaming VFL radio? Likely won’t get in front of a TV until half time.

I imagine there will be, but just can’t seem to find confirmation or info anywhere on the VFL site.

A shower has passed over, but it’s not cold, at least not in the ‘wintery’ sense of cold.

The sun is trying to break through!

You can watch on your phone via the channel 7 app

Yeah,… thanks Darli, … would that I could.

I’m a bit in Decks situation, … won’t really have the chance to watch, but one headphone bud in to listen will be doable.

Had another crack, by God that’s a horrid site for the VFL,… and extra hard to find anything when using it on the phone, but for others wondering,… it is on bpm.media radio,… and also on SEN for us today, according to it.

Many thanks Jane

Would be a good start to the week to put on a clinic this afternoon.

Only see one other overt Bomber fan on the train from Castlemaine. No Footscray fans.
