I'm planning on catching some of Tasmania vs Casey on Saturday. A player from our women's team earned a VFLW list spot with Casey this year so if she's selected I'll keep an eye on that game.
I'm going to get along to a bit of the opening game for Port. But I think the long break between games is a big disincentive for arriving early. I think the Borough have recruited fairly well so am hoping for a big season.
* It's time to restore the VFA name.
Good to see Darebin still around as an independent club after the offseason financial concerns and alignment rumours!
