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.

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!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
