Footscray will make its long-awaited return to competitive football at the Whitten Oval on Saturday morning against fellow stand-alone club Richmond in the Victorian Football League.
The game is scheduled for an earlier time of 10.30am, so Bulldogs and Tigers supporters can make a full day of it, taking in VFL football at the traditional ground in the morning, followed by the clash between the two clubs in the AFL at Etihad Stadium from 1.45pm.
“I hope we can pack out the Whitten Oval before the AFL match,” Footscray co-captain Lukas Markovic said.
“I think it’s fantastic the way the club has organised this first game.
