Not sure if I will drive in from Kilmore and park my car at work in South Melbourne (free parking) or drive to Craigieburn station and catch the train from there (Seymour line works 😩). Then do the usual change trains and get the Mernda or Hurstbridge line to get to Jolimont.

Get to game, find a spot around near the interchange where I used to sit, have a pie and beer and watch from the back.

Hate being a pleb and not having a reserved seat.

All this can only happen if I get my membership sorted lol.

If you can be bothered bush bashing Sat evening traffic to get to the free parking I'd say it's probably the way to go.

Yes, by ‘74 they had refined them beautifully 

SWYL there was one model I saw at Motorclassica a few years ago from around the 40s or 50s when they completely changed the design within a year? I've never been able to remember which one though don't suppose you do?

Post war. Many car companies had to completely revamp operations, because steel and parts were hard to supply 

Good old wikipedia will probably give you some information

I'm thinking it could be one of the Traction Avants but will have to keep digging.

In early, 5:30pm, straight to the Frank Gray Smith bar. Catch up with my ‘footy mates’. Seated by 7. Watch the boys run out from Level 2 wing of the MCC. Go mental for four quarters. Beer at half time in the Percy Beames Bar, then hopefully celebration beverages post game. I’m chomping at the bit.

Oh of course, not far at all. But once you hit the city it could be as thick as a national park with traffic! Hopefully not though.

Will be there in spades with my adult daughter, two of her housemates and may be my son. Should be a great occasion! Probably wander in about an hour beforehand, get a feel of the ground and try to stop shaking my heda about why we had to do this on a Wednesday in 2022.

I’m passing up a birthday party with three very good bands playing, so that I can sit with my son in front of the telly. Having given up the booze, I can’t even enjoy a cold one while the game is on… looks like hot dogs/pies and coke.

Expensive switch

I'll be reclining on the leather lounge, glass of gin and tonic in one hand, phone on xhamster in the other, facing the fireplace and looking resplendent.

Duuude, make replacement bus your friend!

I find that when you get on a replacement bus with a giant Jayden cardboard cutout people tend to make way for you. Short of that, here’s what you do: make your way to the front of the queue. Act a little unhinged and no one will arc up at you. Board the bus, pick a window seat and maintain the unhinged demeanour. People will give you a wide berth. If someone oblivious does go to sit next to you, turn to your imaginary friend sitting next to you and say something like, “it’s ok, they’ll never find the body.” Works every time. 
You’re welcome. 😁

I'll be at the snow, sorry...

 

But seriously, I will, skiing the slopes of Engelberg in Switzerland. But I'm actually bummed to miss it live, will just have to watch us rip the doggies a new a**ehole after the weekend (or while recuperating in hospital with a broken leg)

Touch wood (on both accounts)

Is there a usual place people go after the game for a few refreshing ales?

The Tippler on Wellington Parade is probably where the more discerning of our supporters end up. I've seen Rod Grinter and some of the past players group in there a few times and Hamish Blake once. I've made a decision not to go pre-game this season though as they introduced a $50 non-refundable credit card payment to book a table last year which can be a bit of a mare if your plans change at the last minute. No such problems after a game though.

Too early to say really. Looks like it'll be a cracking day weather wise though. I really want these four points as I have no intention of getting on a railway replacement bus full of Dogs fans after the game.

London Tavern in Richmond both before and after, although being a Saturday night game a few will head straight home.

We've always enjoyed the Hassett Room on level 2 after a game as it usually stays open for 20 to 30mins after the game.

I thought the Tippler closed at 1030 on Saturday.

Hi dworship. I know they keep funny hours these days but I've been there until midnight on a Saturday night after a game. Don't know if I'll be there this Saturday night though because of the replacement rail buses they are running on the entire Sunbury line.

Yeah that was a bit of a shame when it came in, will get there a few time this year but definitely gotta plan ahead.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
