This game is on Saturday at 1805 at Carlton, another game under lights.
I honestly think we play better in the daytime.
Never mind, it is a home game and an opportunity for some players to regain form and fitness. Every game we get into them is a positive.
Live Long and Prosper!

Well, it looks like Pittonet will play. I thought he was more likely to play seniors than McGovern, but that shows what I know.
No sure who else will line up for us.
Marchbank is a good chance, as his injury report looked very positive.
Martin is an outside chance, but not one I would feel confident in predicting. I guess it depends how he gets through the training schedule. He needs game time before the finals.
Carroll probably won't play. Sounds like he has a few niggles and would benefit from a week off. However, he will be missed.
GWS are probably the only team with a worse injury list than us.
Live Long and Prosper!

Stocker, Dow, and Pitto playing well so far. Akui has shown promise in the air in the fwd line. JGM off injured ?? hand
5.8 (38) at half time v 36. We need to straighten up our kicking or this will be a disappointing L.
Who's 77?
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

We lead 81-39 at three quarter time.
Marchbank's had 18 disposals.
Pittonet 31 Hitouts
Importantly, both staying healthy to this point.
Dow not as many possessions as usual but has kicked a couple of goals.
Starting to rain now so that's a fair lead.

The GWS VFL squad are complete rubbish, they look like they wouldn't get a game in VAFA 4th Division.

I've watched a bit of VFL this year.
I don't think I've seen Akuei do one useful thing in the games I've watched.
But he has a pretty impressive 'non-useful' body of work.
He's one of those 'almost' footballers....so probably worth persevering with as a long term project.

Probably the best game I have seen Dow play - applied plenty of pressure and tackled quite abit. Nice balance to his game where its purely clearance dependent.
Akuei has loads of upside like Mirkov need another pre season.
