Thanks for posting this up Robbo. It will be interesting to see how the Bombers go. I had heard that the Essendon recruiting had been ok. I have no real idea of the strength of their list.
These games up in the NT can turn up the odd surprise result too.
I'll start up a Practice match thread in the coming weeks as some of that information begins to be put out by the clubs. 👍
* It's time to restore the VFA name.
