VFL Round 17: Northern Blues vs. Collingwood at the MCG

This game is listed to start at 10:15, so the seniors can start at 1:45.
Having a Curtain raiser is a great idea. Now, if only we could win....

Some great news: Bailey Rice is this week's 23rd man! Yes, you heard it right. Dean Rice's son will be playing in our colours this Saturday against the Evil Minions. He'll probably get more kicks than half of the other players in his colours.

By the way, the game will be telecast on delay on Channel 7.
Live Long and Prosper!

Does that mean we are winning the 'Race for Rice'?

I think it means in the Race for Rice the Saints are cooked.

I think that young Rice has always been more inclined to the navy blue.  Hopefully Dean has told his young fellow that there's a brighter future with us.  We just need SOS and McKay to sort out the father/son drafting and we should have a couple of promising young blokes on our list.

Under the new system what will it cost if we try to f/s both rice and silvagni?

That will depend on how other clubs rate them. The new points system provides a number of points for each pick on the draft list. If one opposition club rates a player at a certain pick and is willing to put their money where their mouth is (as they could be left with their bid, having a player who does not want to play for them), then the F/S club has to match that number of points (with a discount for being F/S). That is complicated, because it is. It will depend on where opposition clubs rate Silvagni and Rice.
St. Kilda will want to rate Rice highly, to put us off. But, of course, it does run both ways.
Live Long and Prosper!

Whiley?

You would have to think that we'd be pretty long odds to win this one. They appear to have a lot more listed players, better form and more experience.
We have Rice.  ;D ;D ;D

They look stronger around the ball as well, especially in the ruck.

We will get belted, Witts will have a picnic and I reckon Jesse White will bully beat up on our kids....

Will be so good to have a 'Special Fried' and 'SOS' back in the side in the next few years.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Will be interesting EB to see who tries... I reckon we could just about name the best right now and we'd get most of 'em right.

Shift Watson to defense and let White beat up somebody his own size, seriously, he can't be any faster than Watson can he?

Gees it would nice to have some quality senior types at the NBs to guide the kids... our development is a deadest joke.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?
