All Windy Hill games are free entry; have been so for a few years.
The normal adult entry price to VFL games away from Windy Hill is $10, $5 for away members. Almost all will accept away AFL membership for that discount (it’s officially meant to be a VFL club membership).
Just wear something waterproof if you’re going past the Collingwood VFL supporters who huddle on the concrete just behind their bench.
Even when they’re not trying, there’s a lot of accidental spittle flying.
The gate is open at windy hill just walk straight in, we have put on free games for the last couple years. other grounds do charge. i hope it stays this way
I agree Fanta should come in for Smith, with Parish already being in the side this should be a balanced in and out (although would prefer both).
The real interest is in Mitch Brown’s replacement , with no Smack or Zac Clarke or Stewart, I wonder if they will play Francis forward to see how he goes, but with Gleeson, Dea and Jok out, we will need some VFL cover for Francis down back as 3rd tall, with Zerk and Harts to cover the key forwards.
Or will they go for a medium forward with Laverde being best placed and Begley being a chance if he plays well.
Definitely a lot to look at amongst the forwards. If Gown really puts up his hand he could be a chance too, given he showed a bit as a marking forward last week, and if he followed up with a bag this week, why not?
It is a solid marking full forward who probably suits us best structurally as a replacement. Although I really hope they give Francis an opportunity to play forward on Saturday and see how he goes, given we will need a solid replacement for a month or so at least.
If you didn’t see last week’s stream: 720 progressive at 60 frames per second, multi-camera, commentary, replays… very impressive. Not Radio 3DJR level, but impressive.
Connellan <-- will play
Heppell <-- will play
Mckenna
Lazzaro <-- will play
Berry <-- will play
Brown
Hocking <-- will play
McQueen
Sibbald
Younan <-- will play
Landt <-- will play
The numbers add up and, apart from “The Traveller” Wil Berry, it’s all the obvious people.
Woosha seems to lock guys into zones and Francis looks like he’s pegged as a back so I’d say Laverde has an opportunity to join String and JD as the tall (ish) forwards. Big game from Begs and quiet one from JL could alter that.
