Hopefully I be there.

This is what the Double Headers should be. the AFL After the VFL and not Before

I hate going to VFL Game Afterwards when it played in the Evening as there NO Lift I can get home and Trains are about 30 Minutes apart and that to long to wait IF you miss it.

With Night AFL game I can get a Lift Home or I stay home IF I don't have a Lift

I can see the merit in that.

Conversely, it probably is easier in an operational sense for the club if the VFL is played after the AFL, because it means they don't have to hold players over.

That being said, it would be just as easy to play the VFL the following day in a case like this one. Then there would be no problem in either case... :)

mate, Dave is the 3rd worse kick I've ever seen.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I reckon Clokey and Campbell might be reunited sooner that first thought...

Good to see Broomy back. Hopefully he can string a few good games together and force his way back into the senior side.
