A lot of people tipped Blair to get into the ones this week.

Aish and Fasolo are the most likely to get back into the seniors. With only 4 seeks before finals, McLarty and Oxley are starting to look less likely to get a go in 2018.

Many years ago a mate and I went Vic park on the Saturday and we hammered some side. I ended up crashing at his flat in Malvern. His dad had been a life member of Coburg and my mate decided he wanted to go see them play Box Hill in the VFA. he had never been there but I was an eastern suburbs boy and I had a mate who played for Box Hill. Off we go in the train and when we get to Box Hill Ippy goes to get off. i said no idiot, Laburnum. Sit down. So we get off at laburnum to find the gates locked at the ground he looks at the sunday paper and the game had been on the Saturday and not only that Coburg had won their only game for the year. he then said lets go the pub. Err, Ippy there are none. I lived in Ringwood so we caught a train to heatherdale and went to the coach and horses but he was not impressed with Box Hill.

McLarty will only play if Cox misses. They will not countenance playing him in defence this year. Oxley's papers are marked, stamped and scanned...

Last minute addendum to the broadcast info: it seems that the VFL now simulcasts the call on 1377 AM radio now. So another option to listen to...

[MagpieBat]

Box Hill have won the toss, which means we'll be kicking to the Northern end of the ground, which is to the left of screen...

Last-minute reminder, there is a YouTube stream today. The link is in the OP...
