2017 Practice Match Schedule

[MagpieBat]

While we wait for the home and away fixture for the VFL to land (some time this day or this week... has Balme taken a job at AFL Victoria as well...?), the club has announced the VFL Magpies practice match calendar:

MATCH 1
Saturday 11 March
Collingwood v Geelong

MATCH 2
Friday 24 March
Collingwood v Footscray
Holden Centre, 4:15pm

Games #2 and #3 will act as off-Broadway warmup acts before the respective seniors matches against the Dogs and Richmond.

Unfortunately, game #1 on March 11th is a clash with the final JTL Series outing up in Moe. Bummer. Surely we can move this, for Dave's sake if nothing else...? (EDIT: Ah, we're drawn to play GWS at the HC on Sunday March 12th in the morning time slot, so that probably rules that out. We've got lights though, so a twilight game maybe...?)

Practice match schedule usually comes in the same day as the regular season draw, so hopefully that pattern repeats later today...

All nice and central, I like that.

Good double headers for match 2 and 3.
