Apologies DJR, should have checked this sub forum. 16 listed players potentially playing and half a dozen staking claims for a round 1 AFL match makes it a reasonably big event I reckon.

Someone said in the other thread this should have been a dry run webcast for the season proper. Am I missing something? Are all our games being webcast? Awesome if true.
Good to see Draper and Mutch playing. McNiece too. Shame no Redman.
From EFC website:
āEssendon fans will be kept up to date via the Clubās social media channels and BomberTV and Radio 3DJR.ā

I assume not, but is there any radio coverage of this game?
Not sure itās a massive issue, but interesting to see the Guernsey numbers for the VFL listed players are those not being used by the AFL players. Geelong looks to have theirs set.
Are they waiting to finalise the VFL squad before they give out numbers? Or is the club not having numbers for VFL players, and they just use the jumpers not used by the AFL boys.
I hope they do, chopping and changing every week is annoying. Quite like seeing the 50ās, 60ās, 70ās and 80ās run around. Hopefully this changes.
Wish I was going. Keen to see Mutch, think thereās something about him.

Where is Geelongās team list? I canāt read the one above.
Pretty safe bet giving them numbers like 4,6,18 etc. Pretty sure Coghlan used to wear number 5 didnāt he?
Give Aaron Heppell 21 for the proper season.
He had 62 Iām pretty sure

I just preferred it when they had their own number. Iām being a bit pedantic.
Jobe wears #4 whatever he plays. Thatās his number.
Azz had 51 last year, thatās his number.
I think I need to get out more.

Thatās true. Maybe it was someone else back in the Bendigo days- Cloke perhaps?

If there is an alliance with another club, then fair enough.
Since weāve gone back to a stand-alone VFL team, I think weāve always done it this way, the VFL boys get a number not used by the AFL team. Got a feeling Benny Duscher wore 13 when we didnāt have a 13.
Iād like to see this continue.
Woosha says he is going down the road to watch it, so I would say yes. its a big one.
