I'm driving down, best to park at the station

If it's a good park VD take a pic and tell us about it George Costanza style!

A song for tomorrow

 

[fargy]

I'm way too excited for this! I expect nothing yet I can't wait! Hope to see some Lukey D Lachie H style stuff from the wing a couple of years ago or the one handed Bonts mark, followed by a one handed Stringer mark, followed by a Lukey D checkside! Asking too much haha?!

Mint song!

Yep there's no way all those guys are injured/underdone.

Nobody has suggested they all are but many are. The mention of interrupted preseasons certainly fires some of them up.

Liberatore, Wallis, Cordy and Hunter running around the Western Oval again

2 - 3 to be dropped and with the full strength side I am guessing.

FB: Wood, Roughead, Morris
HB: Murphy, Hamling, JJ
C: Stevens, Bontempelli, Macrae
HF: Dahlhaus, Redpath, Hrovat,
FF: Stringer, T.Boyd, Grant
R: Minson, Libba, Wallis
Int: (6 to chose from) M.Boyd, Picken, Jong, Hunter, T.Campbell, Talia
EMG: Cordy, Prudden, Dickson.

See how close I get.

I like it actually

There is a reasonable chance I may be late to the game. I have a ticket though. If i'm late and it does reach capacity, will I be able to get in?

Back up plan is dig a hole and tunnel under the ground.

 

[Pannalstaroz]

Just got my tickets just in case. Can't wait. BBBBBBOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD *clunk* goallllllll sounds so much better than BBBBBBBOOOOOOYYYYYYYDDDDDDDDD *clunk* s**t not again Matthew......

 

[TempleKelvington]

If you have a ticket you get in.

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

Anyone know if we can take our own grog?

 

[archibald23]

I was too young to drink at the oval when we used to play AFL there. Consider Saturdays game a bit of a pilgrimage. Will be starting at the courthouse in footscray and working my way down to the oval in time for the game. Go dogs.

If you have a ticket you can enter at any time
its more for members and walk ups

All I saw was you can't bring glass into Whitten Oval. Was hoping we could still bring cans, now I'm not sure.

 

[DrMike]

Good game tomorrow guys, here's hoping for some nice highlights for both teams and no injuries

I am so envious of all of you who are going to the match today. I spent many a day in the outer and in the Whitten Stand on Saturdays over 20 years. Of course, most of those days the rain pelted down, the temperature was near freezing and the wind blew up a storm. I loved it! I feel like packing up my usual smoked beef sandwich, bottle of Pepsi, thermos of coffee, pastry from a bakery and await my usual purchase of hot chips there with tonnes of salt and vinegar. *so nostalgic*

Pic of my mum and dad at a Footscray vs South match in May 1979:

Have fun and beat those damn Tigers for me!

 

[Eastdog]

Great photo Chicago1.

 

[TempleKelvington]

The day has come, and I'm so excited it reminds me of when I was little and I would wear all my Footscray gear to bed before the first game of the season. Sounds like it will be a great crowd, it will be a very special day back at home, can't wait!

 

[fargy]

Have a great day all that are going! Make some noise

 

[Ruanaidh]

I bought my first home near the rising sun in 83. I can't wait to do the same walk from the street I made many times with my doggies mates - some who are no longer with us. In fact I just had to wipe a tear from my eyes to continue typing. I just wish the 'Riser' was still there so I could salute them in style. This time I return after getting dropped off outside the house with my 3 sons. Have a great day one and all.

 

[wian]

Should be a great day. My favourite memory was sitting with my mum just to the south of the coaches box on the outer wing watching The Hawk tear it up in the 80's.

I'm really looking forward to today

If Tom Boyd doesn't kick a goal today I hope everyone can just take a deep breath and remain calm...
