Wangaratta Oval is a death-trap, especially with two popular teams.

Interested to hear how pre season means nothing or how exciting things are for Rd 1 based on how we go.

Classics of the genre.

I don’t care for these games but I’m disappointed they’re reduced. I want to see the whole list get a proper hit out and the young kids get a crack and i just don’t think that will happen with this reduced format.

So Geelong get a home game in Colac, to expand their base.
And we get Wangaratta. Again.
Seriously, wtf.
Darwin or Horsham, mofos.

Very happy this is against a couple of quality sides. It will give us the opportunity to tune up against one and launch a full strength team against the other. Last thing we wanted would be playing North etc.

Yeah, maybe… maybe not. Sometimes the best sides don’t treat the preseason games as seriously as some of the lesser sides.

In particular the premiers aren’t likely to be anywhere near full noise. And if Geelong rests Ablett / Selwood / Dangerfield, then they aren’t really a top side either.

Either way, its a bit of kick and giggle. No injuries thanks. Same philosophy applies to that stupid AFLX rubbish.

Essendon hasnt played in Tasmania since 1996 I believe game at North Hobart vs the swans in a preseason game.
Thats over 20 years ago!
The only club not to play at York Park/Aurora/UTAS stadium.
