Starting this thread early given the odd scheduling. Last year’s similar “home” game was a pleasant night with a great result for us but attracted few spectators.

Looks like it’ll be decent weather again (high of 26, about 18 at game time, light winds).

Relive it, including the odd gap at the end of the game when I got banned for posting too fast (but others filled in) at http://bomberblitz.com/discussion/discussion/31/ye-olde-vfl-megathread-august-2013-to-december-2015/p412

Hope smack destroys it and earns a recall

Thought VFL was 18 plus 4 interchange plus player 23. We listed 8 interchange. Heavy sides has withdrawn so who else is out?
