I say if you leave anytime before 7 you should be ok. Thats when I expect most people to leave. Were leaving just after 3 hoping to be there about lunchtime.

Can't make it, too much other stuff happening at the moment with other footy finals etc. However my wife and I are going to pull a 'no-show' at one of her workmates engagement parties so we are home to watch it on tv.

I told the missus there was no was I was missing the game to go to a party of someone I didn't even know. Luckily she felt the same way, doesn't really like this workmate that much anyway! Just gotta come up with some bullsh1t story now so this bird doesn't get all precious and give my wife a hard time next week - any suggestions? :lol:

Safe travels to all those going over - and cheer yourselves hoarse to get the boys over the line! :twisted: :twisted:

:lol:

She is a star, and a mad Crows fan. She likes Chris Knights a little bit too much though, we were at the show yesterday and he was on one of the stands, literally had to drag her away. :lol:

Not this week. I've had a holiday booked since January to be in Melbourne from the 16th to the 30th of September though, so hopefully we win this week and move into the Preliminary Final next weekend so I still have some chance of seeing Adelaide play while I'm there.

Did that for 03 Prelim, 04 GF and 07 GF.

The bus trip from Ballarat to Melbourne is longer than you think, bit over and hour and a half.

03 Prelim - Not so good.

04 - GF - Fantastic *hiccup* bus trip

07 GF - What GF?

The motel we stayed at, I think the "Old Inn" did the coach for free.
