From memory there is only really a grandstand on the interchange side which is the western side of the oval. I’m unsure of parking availability
Thanks for the info. I’ll be taking the train.

There is a lot of pace and pin point kicking off of HB
Mutch ado about nothing! Anyone know why he’s missing?
And Clarke?
I assume Dea is heading up as the emergency.
My interest in attending has mutchly diminished
Has Steinberg re-signed with them after his wada suspension? Would be an interesting match up with Francis
Morgan lives
Theres going to be a massive vacuum on the Blitz. in the absence of our doyen, DJR, but some will be there watching and reporting special comments.
I thought that was Williamstown
Ideal cool conditions for footy today. Shame mutch and Clarke are outs. Still there are about 14 senior players to watch.
Not many here. I’m going to try the chips!
Could I request a bit of Redman watch, haven’t seen/heard much of him this preseason.
Hot Chip status?
Alright, nothing special.

Good, my reporting duties done. Now I just have to figure out who is who!
Chips of the bucket variety here but not yet sampled
All AFL listed players in correct numbers I believe
Coverage much appreciated, I’m having a shocker at work. Keep an eye on Alex Boyse.
Have they ditched the big paper bags of chips??
Stewart runs in over to begley from the square, goal
