With the growing number of players at Richmond, Carlton and North Carlton, the waits between games are getting longer – ‘next game’ and ‘next next game’ mallet piles are becoming common. Another peculiarity at the moment is that we are spoiled for choice from Saturday to Tuesday, then left jonesing for the rest of the week for another polo fix.

See you at Richmond
