Wind holes.

Like this?

On the train and a guy asks me how to get to the ‘G, it’s his first week as a security guard at the ‘G and his train line is down (Mernda) so he was lost. Anyways that’s beside the point… he told me his boss told him and the other guards to expect a crowd of 40-45,000! I said “That’s all?! Where are the rest of ‘em? Bloody Carlton fans, fairweather to the core!!”

Turns out bro is a Carlton supporter 😂

High winds

Sorta. More like a flap actually. Square holes with tape to strengthen the sides and a flap of crepe paper on the top. I’m sure you’d do that anyway.

Now Ethan and anybody else out there stand by....

Myself and Mrs Fence will be in Venice around the 30th August!

I suspect it is the good citizens of Venice who will need to "stand by " for the cultural renaissance that your visit will bring picket.

Not at all. Not against Ghost who walks, anyways. He and I are buddies and he has a good heart. If I was gonna be concerned about anyone it would be posters who get banned then reappear under a different username

Haha, you mean like WCW?

“what’s with all the [censored] water?!”

Storm are playing at the same time across the road so it will be busy around the area

Should be a big splash at the Biennale than.

So every week we get a numbered lanyard which allows us to go out on the ground. Some people have their fave player’s number every week. I always say “lucky dip me!” This week I got this one…

We’ll still take the banner out and lay it out in readiness for raising and then if the wind has died down sufficiently we can do it right before the boys run out.

We have to be mindful of sudden gusts. One of our guys was hit on the head by a pole at Casey on a relatively calm day when a huge gust came out of nowhere. And that was at a W match where the banner and poles are smaller.

Prediction is 10 to 15 kmh winds by game time. Your hard work will be OK.

Oh cool! That's Jordie McKenzie's old number!

Well we'll see what Harry can do in a full game

Well, I don't know how many Dees are up the snow but I'm at Pesaro on the east coast of Italy (temp about 35 today) and there's not a Carlton jumper to be seen anywhere. I'm off to Venice today. May see one there. I doubt it

Venice, very nice. Veneto is the ancestral home of the Silvagni Clan 😎 Waving to you from the other, more scenic eastern coast of the Adriatic, my son has donned his Auskick Blues shirt to watch the game with me.

Writing to you from Dalmatian Coast in Croatia, ancestral of home for Carlton 80s Premiership players like Val Perovic and John Dorotich and also Allan Jakovich, two time leading goal kicker for the Dees in the early 90s. After some hassles renewing the AFL app, looks like its working now 🤞

May the best team win today 😊

I'm humidifying in Siem Reap.

Will have a delicious bowl of Pho and meander over to the God awful Pub Road to watch it in a God awful pub looking every inch the Aussie bogan tourist in my dees jumper and red and blue multi purpose Cambodian scarf.

Go Asuras

Siem Reap, nice enjoy 😎

I will be watching in a seaside village in Croatia with a walnut liquer and a strong black coffee.

May the best team win today 😊

Are Carlton wearing a jumper tonight with Orange on the shoulders?

Surely not.

Nice pre game show for a very important cause.

Well done to Carlton for supporting this.
