You would hope this is live streamed. Surely it would be.

Venue and time haven't been announced yet, torch. Some whispers about it being at Casey Fields but at the moment that's only a rumour.

It's at Casey but I'm not sure about the time. Believe it could be a 6 quarter game to ensure the list from both camps get time on the ground.

Like to see more of this kind of thing for pre-season matches even in the televised "official" ones now that there's no cup or prize money.to play for....should be able to give your entire list a good crack at it and supporters want to see the kids..... :shh

Exactly, unfortunately all the $ and people are working on the AFLW team at the moment so we'll be lucky to see 2mins of footage.
