If we lose tonight I see the trip to Bunno as an opportunity to take the whole squad away together for another "team building, bonding, goal-setting (insert appropriate moniker here) camp" very close to the start of the season.

It wouldn't be too hard to organise a second game against a WAFL team not playing pre season comp that week as they have 9 teams.

With the chartered plane the boys could fly in Friday, play on Saturday and then have a 2-3 day camp in Busselton or Margaret River to reaffirm all the goal setting that would have taken place at the start of preseason. Be back in Melbourne Tues/Wed and have a week to prepare for the Tiges the following Thurs.

Thoughts?

im driving down to see this

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

Same.

Only an hour and a half away for me should be good to see the blues in action up close, especially if they are keen to do a full dress rehearsal for round 1 as I have read somewhere....

Cant remember the last time the Blues played a scratch match in WA..

After tonight I think a road trip is in order no matter who we send over to play the shockers next week.

im gonna be there with flowering bells on

Be interesting to see who goes. If we don't take some of our key players when would they get a run before Rd 1?

For anyone who has been or has good info, whats the ground like?

Has it got a good surface or should we be overly concerned!!

Cheers for any info

the ground should be fine

id imagine it would be little bit dry and a touch hard

but nothing to be overly concerned about

Assuming they play at Hands Oval it is always kept in pretty good nick. A long ground with dimensions closer to Subiaco than MCG or Dome.

Cheers Grro, No10

The Navy blues in WA, you beauty.

This is the only reason anyone would go to Bunbury..

Dont worry about the oval it'll be fine.

I'd be more worried about the locals

Will you be organising a banner for the team to run through?

I'll be there too.

Any idea if there'll be an opportunity for members to see the boys before or after the game?

_________________
We are on our way back...

the club controls the banner nowadays so unless they send one on the flight , there wont be a banner
