Looks like the game will be going ahead on schedule. The potential of having a few fans attending has been raised. I can't see it happening before the Richmond vs Collingwood game on Thursday: too little time to select the fans, even if they are all corporates.
At the moment Melbourne appear to be playing Harley Bennell against us this Saturday.
I fear Melbourne's ruck combination. We need to beat Gawn to give our mids a reasonable chance.
At the moment it appears that Pittonet will play for us. Eddie Betts is highly likely to play. As for the rest, who knows?
There is a good chance of a 'scratch match' being played before the main game. That would give our kids a chance to play and most of them need it. There may well be more of these. The VFL is still a month from restarting, assuming we can organize a team for it. Apparently a number of former Northern Blues boys have been seen training. As to what will happen, nobody knows yet. many things will depend on whether Covid-19 has a second peak in the near future. Alas, that is a high probability event. :-[
