Would rather play Port or Geelong than Williamstown.

So I'm really hoping for a win here.

And....

That is disgraceful.

Without VP as an option, why cant we go to Holden Centre? Its stupid that we get a home final and have to go to Carltons ground.

I don't know the specifics, but I have heard that Olympic Park is actually a no-go in this situation...

Wagner outlining the finals venue situation from 7:11 in this week's Lulie Street. We applied for one two months ago, yet apparently that wasn't enough notice... :roll:

Confirmed we're playing our home final at Princes Park on Saturday September 3rd at 2pm.

Campbell Lane back into the side as 23rd man, alas his hero Clokey is making farewell the following day at the MCG.

No Darrean Wyatt or Brayden Sier, or for that matter Alan Toovey, however...

Senior extended bench highlighted and 4 of them will play, another 1 will likely be held over.

Good to see Still back. Gets a game to tune up for finals.

Still makes the final cut. Good to have you back, Michael! :)

Looks like Oxley's the carry-over for us, Webb for them...

Of that extended bench, looks like Knight and Howe missed the final cut, which means Jeremy Taylor returns for what is (IIRC) his first game of 2016. Welcome back, Jez! :)
