Why so, Jontee?

Coz I want Fritta to kick another bag on him.

Kayo from NSW 

A bottle of whisky and a pack of smokes at my place in Bangkok. 

Will follow the game on afl match centre and DL. Couldnt be bothered finding a pub that televises the game.

There would be imbeciles saying ...is this rugby?(yanks).

.....kiwi and Sydney bogans babbling that aussie rules is an irish game..  i dont socialise with westerners in Thailand anymore. Bogans with their 'pee nois' .

Go dees!

For me it is going to be a full week-long trip down to Melbourne for what will be my first Demons game in person since the couple of bizarre games we played in Sydney, mid 2021

The trip will also will be the first time even my immediate family has been in one place together since pre-Covid - the first time I've been in the same room as both of my mother and brother in more than two years.

I’ll be at a classic Citroen event in Murray Bridge with my two loves… my wife and my 1967 DS. I’ll skip the Motorkhana and meet up with an old school friend I haven’t seen since about 1969. He’s also a lifelong Demon supporter. A big win would top off the perfect day.

At least your DS can be content that your other great love isn’t a car!

The Control crew will all be jamming into Max’s Sunbeam Tiger and heading pre-game to the Prince Patrick for obligatory parmas & pots. Agent 13 will be lurking around somewhere, most likely in one of their fridges. Then over to the G, seating in the Redlegs members, level 2 Warnie stand, sans cone-of-silence.

and if we lose there will be chaos

Personally, prep for round one started a few weeks ago at the first of three DA working bees where (among many other things) we went through all our gear in readiness for the season. Well, it really began at the end of last season since not a week goes by without some manner of DA activity. And yes, meeting up for a liquid lunch constitutes DA activity. 😝

I’m currently on my way to Collingwood because the real prep starts today at 3pm for our first (official) banner-making for the year! Yay! Spirits are always sky-high at banner but I think today will be next level. ❤️💙

Leisurely drive down early afternoon, pick up stock for the business at Costco and Campbells, then into accom at the Amora River Walk in Richmond. Pre game snacks and beverages there. On the tram and into the Hassett Room at least an hour before the game. Catch up with a number of Redlegs we haven't seen since last season, particularly Nana 31. After the game into the Hassett Room for celebration drinks and another round of "It's a Grand Old Flag". Back on the tram to accom and watch the replay. Every chance I will crash and burn before seeing the replay, like Hardtack I've been off the booze since a week after Xmas.

As the Lilydale line stops at box Hill and I can't be bothered changing to get to Camberwell   I'll just watch at home. 

 

Same every week until the line is running late may

a creeping sense of dread as 7.25pm approaches followed by elation, frustration, then - hopefully - satisfaction

I'll be going in my best mr walker gear with the lovely diana and we'll be taking guran to his first game of afl. old man mozz will stay at home to look after devil, hero and fraka. Hope to see the boys give the brotherhood of singh a jolly good thrashing, then it's back to the skull cave for replays and some good, barbecued jungle meat.

Holy smokes BA, you can do that any other time!!!

Normally yes WCW, I was in Melbourne the weekend just gone for a wedding, and the previous couple have been very busy, plus I’ll be down rd 3 for the Swans. Being in bed by 7:30 this Saturday night ready for the first bounce (we have a tv built into our wardrobe ) sounds bloody appealing right about now. 

Call this one out of left field ... I'll be watching from the stands at the G (MCC members).

Sitting at home alone in front of the TV wondering why they're showing vision of a sad, old, unattractive man then realising I've forgotten to actually turn the telly on.

Tryna get my Old man a ticket as he hasn't been at a game for 4 or 5 years. He don't own a smartphone. Hope i won't be as toasted as I was at the Brizzy Final last year.  I still can't believe we lost. 

Sitting on the couch in front of my enormous TV with a fridge full of extremely cold beers 

Taking my wife to her first ever game sitting in the MCC section. She has only ever sat in the outer. My son is joining us. It’s my birthday so we are in town for the weekend. Hoping to celebrate with a big win.

What spirits are mixed together. Personally I prefer Scotch And Amaretto. =Godfather.

The DS. What a Car

Even today it us still a magnificent car

There are 6 of us driving in, looking forward to a 30 point win, making a bit of noise and singing the song surrounded by our Dee supporters. Then home to bed to watch the replay.!!!!! go Dees.!!

if the bloke in the TV starts talking to you, then you can start worrying!

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.
