Seriously who? Bloody friends of mine, that's who. I need help. Let the excuse list begin!! Thanks in advance.

 

Simple

Its GF day and your not that important!

My wifes step mother got married again on GF day last year and i told them i would not fly to sydney to attend, but it didn't matter i was in Europe anyway.

Ring when you know he is not at home and leave a message telling him you can't stand the cow he is marrying - being a girl, we just have to get to the messages first and that's guaranteed to get you of the list.........

They should have more sense and tough luck if half the guests don't rock up.

Just a SELFISH act! No one is more important than the GF - NO ONE!!!!

Yeah they're friends of my wife - I hardly know them. The groom is from Tassie, a solid footballing state, what was he thinking?

The marriage is doomed - if he hasn't go the balls to stand up to her about the date - it is history already!


Im getting married the week after the grand final. It makes perfect sense to me.

Getting married on Grand Final day is a crime and as Condemned said a selfish act especially if you are born and bread in Melbourne.

Your wife's step mother was getting married? :blink:

Tough spot to be in....

I have been there before though.... 2004 GF and I just told my mate the truth.... Being a bloke he understood.... Although he hates footy (there are a few of these pitiful humans) he is an A Grade cricket captain and I just told him that I would be having my wedding on Boxing Day when the time comes! Of course, this was the biggest empty threat in history!

I ended up rocking up to the reception at 8pm, fell out of a taxi, stumbled in to see everyone well on the way to being smashed, hooked up with a bridesmaid, still together and happy as hell....

The story is one of legend with the boys!

Good Luck :)

Great story KrazyJay, I thought this thread might provide some funny anectdotes.

Your wife's step mother was getting married? :blink:

Yeah here father had passed away 10 years earlier, we still keep in touch with her step mother.

When i read your reply i realised how wierd that would sound :lol:


I had a mate who got married last year on the Friday night of the Prelim weekend, when Sydney played Fremantle. If Melbourne had beaten Freo, then I wouldn't have known what to do with myself as they would've been playing the same night of the wedding.

If Melbourne were playing in the granny and you had the opportunity to get a ticket ..... well I guess you'd have to sacrifice a friendship ;)

totally and utterly selfish act and un-australian too - weddings, reunions, birthdays, engagements of any sort should be banned during the month of september.

Yeah they're friends of my wife - I hardly know them. The groom is from Tassie, a solid footballing state, what was he thinking?

My only suggestion was that they need to be friends of your partner to give you any chance.

I missed the 1985 GF for the same reason.

Friends of the wife?

- simple, its her duty to explain your absence.

You just need to catch the game, and meet at the reception later, if that works.

If not, don't worry , you'll either all laugh about it in , say, 15 years, or they may never speak to you agin, in which case who cares anyway.

I'd say it was probably a day noone else had booked a wedding for and it was cheaper as a result.

ive got a very good mates 21st on the 17th, possibly neitas 300th. what do i do then????

and for the record, i want to get married in late march, thee week before the season starts. cricket season is over, footy hasnt begun. the only weekend im free. cept maybe christmas!

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
