Love the commentator's faus pax - "ball falls on the dick, errr, the deck" about two mins in.

the change rooms were the carlton cricket club rooms which are a couple of minutes walk from the ground. it looked odd watching the team walk off the ground, through the terraces and exit the ground.

It's an absolute disgrace. Victoria Park's a bit run down, but it would be more of a home than that. Come on Eddie, pull yer finger out!!!

How much would it cost to bring Vic Park up to a standard that was safe for both players and spectators?

it is safe now. there is a ton of seating. the surface is good enough to have games played each week. the umpires train there.

i don't think it is a bridge too far to contemplate a return there in the not too distant future.

Thanks again Dave!

Looks like McCarthy, Dawes, Macca, Dutchy and Lonie all are in good form.
Liked the goal from Jaxson aswell, the kid looks like he could be a pack breaker with that speed.

Dissapointing that Presti was a late withdrawl because of a groin injuy.

Getting to game 200 seems to be getting further and further away! :(
