Either:

Grabbing some food (beers) heading down to the botanical gardens to sit amongst the flora and fauna with my sister and father. Then moseying on down to the G about 7 and yelling for a couple hours.

Or

Have some mates round for a menagerie of bbq'd food, beers and smoke breaks on my balcony.

Can't bloody wait!

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.

Hi layzie. I understand having it as a policy during covid restrictions but all those tables in the front room will always get  filled regardless. I used to like getting there just after they opened (which used to be 12 noon during a day game) and grabbing a seat in the window with a pint and the paper until friends turned up.

Yeah it's an interesting one, we went before the Sydney final last year but other gamedays are going to be more fluid and last minute. Will see how it goes.

3.30 start for me.

Sports Bar with a Saturday Roast Lamb before the game. 
Whiskey on the rocks for the first bounce 

Number 14. The campaign begins…

We should all expect nothing less than a Flag this year. The list is Top Shelf and primed.

Wake up (hopefully) and break my fast. Feel nervous. Go Demons.

Watch BT Sports coverage from 08:25 from behind the sofa until we establish a commanding lead. Curse BT’s buffoonery if it’s him calling the game. Curse the umpires.

Join mates for pre-match pints before heading to Sunderland v Luton, EFL Championship at 3pm.

Back to pub for more pints with an FA Cup quarter final on tv followed by the takeaway of my choice (most likely Indian from the Moti Raj) and a replay of Footscray’s capitulation, all washed down by a natty little red.

A day of blissful self-indulgence.

Nah. Good win yesterday but too lightweight and playing with just one fit striker and likely to be out-muscled. Back the away win.

Looking good. My Dad spent his formative years (Thirties) following Sunderland (by steam train) around the UK. He told me there were just two teams of any note back then, Arsenal and Sunderland.

Fast forward to early sixties Melbourne and despite my early leanings towards Footscray, he made me support Melbourne because of their intense rivalry with Collingwood, mirroring his hatred of all things Newcastle (filthy magpies, etc). He wasn’t wrong, two of the most boorish, self-aggrandising fan bases in the world.

Anyway, back on topic…

Lots of People hate Arsenal. That’s ok, we just quietly go about our business. 
This year they can smell it. Won’t be easy, but they know what needs to be done.

Well, actually, pretty nice little Saturday. We're going to Home Depot. Buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring. Stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath and Beyond, I don't know. I don't know if we'll have enough time. Then head home to watch the big game.

Is it concerning that more than half of us die hard supporters aren't going to the game?

absolutely zero judgment for the many and varied reasons you all can attend. I myself was going to miss but for some good work misfortune

60K plus and ill be happy.   50 point smashing, ill be even happier

I think Carlton will outscore Richmond, so all going well, this means they should win.

I prefer the 1963 Stingray’s, particularly the split back Window. Magnificent car. I am not a GM guy, but they got that one right. 
A neighbor back in the 90’s had a Yellow Stingray the same as the photo. 
took me for a few rides. It was terrifying!! In the passenger seat i am almost lying down, all i can see is the sky and we are doing almost 200km/h down Beach Road  

A true beast

    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.
