Wangaratta game.

[hellorocky]

there's no great expanse of a car park, parking seems to be in and around the local streets, there will be some inside the grounds I'm pretty sure i heard that tonight. Council are recommending people use the shuttle bus service.

There's a few trees, that about it for shelter apart from the grandstand that would hold a few hundred and the clubrooms that is for officials, guests, Magpie members etc

Thanks for the run-down Rocky. See you at the match.

How long does it take to drive from Mansfield to Wang?

should take you less than an hour and a half if you go up to the highway at benalla and up from there. or else take the back road up through the king valley which is a nice drive but will take two hours.

Parking is limited at the venue.

•Ford Street Bus Stop, Wangaratta CBD;

“We encourage as many people as possible to take advantage of the park-and-ride services, which are FREE if you have a pre-purchased ticket to the game,” said Ms McAlpin.

Sold out!

Maybe they should move it to Etihad to fit more in lol!

Seriously this is an excellent result, shame the cash goes to the AFL not us, low overheads you'd think in the bush.

Sold out 11k. Originally was slated for 15k then last week that changed to 12k. Good result would be a very tight squeeze trying to get 15k in there!!!!

Maybe if the ground is flooded they couldplay "water footy" (as opposed to water polo) where you score by handballing the ball through for a goal and there is a 15m limit on how far you can swim with the ball, before having to handball it to someone else?

[DWOODROW]

Can I ask a stupid question. I can't remember seeing Crocker,Newnes, Archer or Curren play in the games just gone. Is it just me or did they actually play.????

newnes played most of the first game. curren played about the last 4 minutes of the second game. crocker and archer definitely didn't get a run.

[AnythingsPossibleSaints]

The in's and outs were the changes from our squad from the week before. Crocker and Archer were in the squad for our two games last week, but didn't play.
