If you are travelling to Perth this weekend..

[P-man 13,285]

..you are a king among supporters and I salute you.

I've done the trip a few times but this weekend will not be one of them.

Feel free to out yourselves in this thread to receive the plaudits that a true supporter deserves.

I'm not going but thanks to the generosity of Ethan Tremblay, I'm sending my 14yr old nephew for his birthday and my brother. They live there. So I'm not sure if that counts. Some unkind punters have suggested I could give him a better birthday present by making sure he doesn't go. But he is very excited to see them in the flesh. I hope and pray they put on a better show than the last game. Don't know where the Club is going to head if they do that again. Alas it is Cox's last home game, unless some how they get into the finals and end up somehow playing Freo there. So Weagles will want to put on a show for him which doesn't bode well for us.

Nor does the fact they will looking for a big percentage boost as percentage may end up being the difference between them making the finals and missing out

Wow. That's a brave move and it mostly counts

I'm going, but not such a big deal as my trip only involves a 40 minute ride in the car.

I too am worried about the possibility of a massive loss and the effect it will have on my 6 year old son who will be going to his first ever H&A match. I've managed to convert him to a fully fledged Dees supporter this year, despite him starting the year as a Hawthorn fan and also my pesky dad trying at every opportunity to convert him into a Weagle. But am afraid it might all unravel for me on Saturday if they put up a showing like last weekend.

Also worried about the parochial Eagle crowd. I've been to plenty of freo and eagles games over the years and am never disappointed by their lack of respect for fans of the opposition. Worried that it might make the little fella ashamed to be a dees supporter.

Oh well, I suppose we'll just have to see what happens.

I'm just hanging on to a glimmer of hope that they might knock off the Eagles and spoil Coxys farewell just like we did to Guy McKenna in 2000 (I was there and boy was that sweet). Mind you we're not tilting at a flag like we were that year so it will be a miracle if we can get the win.

Here's hoping, carn the dees

I've already suffered through humiliating back to back interstate trips to GWS.

Me thinks I'll give this one a miss.

I'll be going to the game thinking we can win.

As should the team.

[leucopogon 1,494]

I just hope they play like they did against Port, they do that, win lose or draw I think I'll be satisfied

Please do not hold your breath wee one

I know a couple who are attending and I just hope the boys can put up a fight, big effort to travel that far to sit amongst a feral mob of Eagle supporters.

I'm flying out this morning. I feel like it is the definition of stupidity.
