As someone who used to go to every single game week in, week out, rain hail or shine, I have sat through some of the most worst games. Remember the Neeld years! When I moved regionally, it made it a little harder as it's a 4 hour train journey there and back especially playing at the G. 7.30pm games mean I don't get home til after 12am (that's if the trains are running on time) or if there's no trespasser on the train tracks. Other times, V/Line has closed the entire line so it is a very long journey.
I hold two premium reserved seats...and I've held these for many years. I haven't been to a game this year. Family reasons - death of my father at the start of the season after his battle with cancer and only four weeks ago my beautiful dog was diagnosed with bladder cancer. He's just under 10 years. He's having chemo and I have to monitor him for any changes. I'm too devastated with grief. I love my team and I would be at all of the games like I have for many years! Right now, I have to look after myself and my dog. :-(
