Don't laugh at me - this could turn out to be a serious issue.

my lovely girlfriend is turning 21 on the 11th of sept next year. the first weekend of the 2011 finals.

given we play the gold coast on sunday on the 2nd last round, and then port adelaide away at a time yet to be determined, what is the best night for her to be looking to have her party given that i will want to go to the footy. She is so nice and lovely she will pick the night when we are least likely to be playing (what a woman).

of course this topic is completely null and void if we dont make the finals - a 50/50 proposition anyway.

i think friday would probably be the best night - they are unlikely to give us 2x 6 day breaks, although its the afl after all........

    Call me old fashioned, but since when has having consideration for a girlfriend (or a wife for that matter) in any way impacted upon one's enjoyment/ viewing/attending of a football/cricket/or other sporting event?

    organize the party the week before. The MFC has been here with us since 1858, your GF a mere 20.

    And who knows the future, you may not be together by september 2011 B) hehehe

    Is she the marrying kind?

    Tell her that the asians date ones birthday from the date of conception

    That way you can have her 21st this December - well away from any finals - easy

    Edited some atrocious mathematics

    Yes! Isn't it wonderful. I don't have to worry about repartee or football knowledge, i can just be a MCP. ( Who knows what that means?)

    Why? Worried?

    By June next year there is going to be a lot of Bogan Collingwood Babies born, that will be an international Tragedy.

    Benno, mate, take a step back and take a breath. This is shocking.

    And it is a given that they will not know who their father is.

    OK time to "Man Up". If it all comes down to it - is it the footy or the girlfriend?

    Benno,

    get a grip. This requires good planning. And as others have noted only worthwhile if she is the marrying kind.

    1. If the party is on Saturday night, then there is no chance that the game will be played then.

    2. If we are there, we could be playing interstate

    3. Build up brownie points all through the year and claim them back at the most appropriate time, and let her suggest it ( ...I've been to every Demons game in the past ...years, and this is our first final that I could see....get the drift)

    4. We might do better and win the first final..ergo another game the week after.

    5. If all else fails, remember that we are unlikely to be playing in a GF next year. Save the brownie points for the big event when it comes.

    Finally, remember the adage: Happy wife = happy life.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
