been to enough games this year and last to have known how good they are and that this game is a formality.
the group has an extra-ordinary belief and my money is being spent on the GF.

Not making it this week.
LA to Melbourne is just a bit too far...
Flight is booked for GF just in case though.
Nerves are kicking in.
Every appendage is crossed.

Cheer extra hard for me people, get us across the line.

I think someone has hacked me or I have blacked out, cause I didn't write that...
I did get a Virgin Flight.
Never flown 1st Class.

Thanks to who ever typed that in for me...

Interesting!

I won't be ther edue to being in Iceland for a conference. Howver, I have managed to convince everyone to get up at 4am to watch the game on a massive projector screen in the conference room we are using.

It's going to be fun trying to explain to a bunch of vikings just what the hell is going on.

She is, and yes it was a HUGE commitment.
Been worth it though.
Very happy here.
Thanks Reincarnated.
She is a Saints fan now.
Took her to a couple of games when we visited...Doggies and Crows at the Dome.
She is a big Milne fan, and loves Bakes when he starts a fight.

Just scored 2 seats level 2. N27 Row F!

So pumped!!

I noticed a bit of talk about the Southern Football League earlier in the thread.

I play for South Yarra in Div 2 and we have a big clash against Heatherton tomorrow. Winner straight into the GF, loser plays the winner of Oakleigh vs Murrumbeena.

BRING ON THE WEEKEND ALREADY!!!!

hilairehinshelwood · Fri 04 Sep 2009 11:13am

I know so many people who aren't going due to it being Fathers day, just don't understand it. Surely it's about the fathers, and most of them would rather be at the footy, especially for such a massive game.
I notice fathers day is 100 times more of a big deal than the UK. Seems just as a big deal as Mothers day.

Hi Karnaby, been missing you. Hope you and the family are having a wonderful time travelling around...... thought you might just get back in time for the Grandie. We'll be flying over for the Prelim and Grandie. I just hope this is my last Sunday at the Karalee for this season. Enjoy your travels, see you 'pon your return. Cheers Loris

Got enough spare cash in the petty cash tin to buy the country eh? Now maybe that's what we need a rawboned viking to run off half back for us next season.....have your recruiting hat on!!

Enjoy your (early)day... I'm sure watching a Saints victory will be immensely enjoyable in such an exotic location.

working

pancake parlour policy...everyone works mothers and fathers day. hopefully i can at least finish early enough to catch some on the tv.
same thing happened last year, missed the cats v saints game (not such a bad thing in the end!)

and the worst thing they ever did...refused to give me the sat night off for the saints v hawks prelim...so i missed robert harveys last game. I cried at work when i heard we lost...i think thats when my boss realised how much i love my footy!
