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.

"get a grip." Could be the answer!

    we will make finals, i say you tell her that finals weekend is a birthday free time, and that if you had to choose you would go with the team you have supported all your life.

    second option, birthday present is to take her to the finals, have a few pre brews and organise the party to be when you arrive home, in celebration of melbourne winning and your girlfriends birthday, in that order :D

    A couple of options... 1. have the party at Maccas at the airport so you can move directly from it to departures, or 2. have the party a week before and then take her to the Gold Coast for a weekend away as a birthday treat.

    dont 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 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........

    It looks to me that it will be likely, a Sunday game for Rnd 22.

    Pretty rude of Al Qaeda to ruin her 10th birthday

    mfcss says we wont make finals so it wont matter anyway

    That's true.

    In fact, many reading this thread would like us to stop intimating that we will play finals next year - for it places a hex on the club!

    well i think she would have been in bed by 10pm or whatever time it was here.

    good blog by the way, some of us do read it, keep it up.

    we live 2 hours out of town so starting late or whatever isnt really an option, since all her friends are 2 hours out of town as well.

    pretty sure i just ruined our chances of making finals by even thinking that we might.

    anyway, im sure itll all be sorted out.....by her......closer to the date!

    who has a birthday during the footy season anyway. how inconsiderate.

  • Quote

    As much as the AFL have indeed handed us a very nice fixture for 2011, seriously what are the chances they'll give us a prime time slot to open up the finals for the year?

    If we're in a prelim, well, at least there's next week and the certainty it'll be at home. Hmm... so maybe examine if there's a pattern on elimination finals, to be sure.

    One moment please...

    Elimination finals

    2010 - saturday and sunday

    2009 - friday and saturday

    2008 - saturday and saturday

    hmm... alright, you're stuffed unless she wants to do it on sunday night... oh wait... twilight games.

    Probably just gonna have to go with the flow.

    haha she has consideration for me....since she knows i would ditch the party for the footy.....

    edit: grammar

    Tell her she needs a new boyfriend.

  • Quote

    hahaha this thread is gold

    I agree-consideration all round. And this is called a partnership.

    Now your problem.The Dees will make the eight. I think they can win at least 12 games.If this is so- Saturday would look most likely the day they will play.Therefore Friday would be the most suitable timeslot for the 21st.But what about - your head. Will you have a hangover. Would you be ok for an after lunch game.Maybe - have the party on Sunday night- safest bet for all. :blink:

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
