Haven't been there. Good excuse for a holiday. Fortunately I'll likely be in a position to be able to do it.

Been to Wellington a few times with work, and it really is a lovely city. Has a very Melbourne feel to, with it's lane-ways and its restaurants.
Can be very cold and windy, so anyone who is already going or thinking of going really should pack thermals.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Is anyone thinking of going over for it? My St Kilda supporting gf thinks it's an awesome idea..

I'll be there

 

[HBF]

I'll be there

What I co-incidence.......

I've heard that about Wellington. I may have some free (i.e. for the cost of whatever booze I provide) accommodation, which would be handy too.

can you bum cigarettes off 12 year olds like you can in Rundle mall?

There's a big difference between flying to adelaide and flying to NZ, cost and time wise.

Replace Adelaide with Perth and there's really no difference in terms of time or cost.

Yeah but there's no water (actually there is) in between.

Issue is blown out of all proportion. What when we start playing in South Africa?

Lions & Tigers more likely

Nope. Only in Adelaide.

Been there, done that (remember our pre-season game over there a few years ago?)

A little harsh Lance

Reasonable chance that they're quite familiar with this.

More like a warm aubergine with a whole drilled in it

Come and talk to me when you've landed at Lukla...

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

I believe the AFL has fixtured us to play Fremantle there, round 7 in 2016!

 

[SBYM]

Will be some worthwhile altitude training...

Haha that could be interesting..

 

[Aphrodite]

@melbournefc has appointed former @westernbulldogs coach Brendan McCartney as its development and strategy coach

 

[SpaceCow]

Good get. Might actually develop some players properly now...

 

[SBYM]

Gotta start paying attention....

I just realised that thing in your av is smacking its own arse...

 

[HARKER]

Anyone else tired of all the A-League talk?
Seems that some journos have become over-whelmed at what the A-League offers by way of colour.

Granted that the AFL has become somewhat sanitized but the day chanting and singing becomes the norm, it's time to get out.
Have only ever been to one A-League match and that will be my last. People weren't even watching the game, spending time trying to decipher the barbarian chanting from one oppositions quarters to another.

I went to the first victory v heart game.

It was the hearts 3rd or 4th game ever and the cheer squad has all these rehearsed chants that were obviously copied from European bball or soccer leagues, just didn't sit right with me.

Horses for courses and I'd love to see the AFL do something unique by way of presenting the game to us but chants of "Your mother wears socks" with comebacks like "Your father ploughs fields" are boring and frankly annoying.

Went with a group of people who found it all somehow funny..............even after an hour of it. Beats me.
