Did standing room sell out or can you buy those on game day? Never saw any available in that area

Does Cooky have a soft spot for the team he used to play for?

I believe he played for the West Coast also. Whilst name dropping, Jimmy Bartell was hitting golf balls next to me today (at the driving range).

When I asked him if he was likely to be playing in the mid-field on Saturday he said "Oh I'll be playing all over, fixing up everyone else's mistakes". He comes across as a pretty nice bloke.

Aliens prefer to watch Geelong at Simmonds stadium than the MCG I guess. Why does anyone both to complain about where the cats play their last game. We gave away some of our home games to interstate,certainly not to our advantage I guess.

I am driving down Geelong for the game on the weekend. It will be my first time there for a game.

Can any of you seasoned vets give me some tips on the car parking situation?

Street parking, parking lots, ground parking...etc

Happy to walk 10-15 mins if there are cheaper and more readily available options further away from ground.

You have masochist tendencies JTR?    

Spoke to one of the players at training today. Not gonna name him but best 22 every week. Said he was much more worried about the Carlton game and was very confident this week.

If you're early enough try to park on the street, otherwise the Scouts take over South Geelong station car park for about $10.

I'd love to know why the difference.

So would i and it is so typical of Melbourne's collective mindset.

 

Because we have the wood on Geelong at home now.

I reckon we can win. Roos last game. I hope someone records the 3/4 time speech.

I bought the ticket before the Carlton game.... :-/

That said, I still not regret going down last year when I had the chance, so I dont miss any games any more if I can help it. Plus its the last game of season, the last outing for Roos.. etc

Whats the worst the could happen?

(no need to answer that)

I reckon your best bet is to drive past the ground (on Latrobe Tce) and turn left at the Fyans St lights. There's side streets near the Good Guys and car yards where you can usually get a park.

Thanks for the help M_9 & Watts2Hogan.  Appreciate it.

O no! I hope you didn't go!

Give them a break, first time they have beaten us down there for over 3 years
