VFL Practice Matches 2017 - last game was Sat April 8 at Punt Road

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

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??
