**** that was hard sitting out in the rain and cold last night.

Am glad the next 2 games I'll be going to shall be undercover.

Thanks again for noticing the MC emblem and getting the ball rolling.
The warmest jacket I have, and was it needed last night!
Just have to get Polly to start posting- he has a lot of good stories and insights.
Just to get this right, were you SOG prior to Nakia? You look like a runner- you know, fit, lean..

I was a runner once, now I couldn't run out of sight on a foggy night.

And yes I did go by the name of Son of God for a time.

My fingers struggled to grip my beer.

I had a cup of tea at half time like a little old grandma ffs.

I've never had a hot drink at the footy, ever. Nor have I ever purchased or worn a beanie. Did that too.

Joining my club Shell-never too young- hot ginger tea, beanies, but no gloves- fingers froze.

When I bumped into you walking back to the LOTI I said I needed a beer, you said you needed a coffee! LOL. I love my coffee, but hell would have to freeze over (even though it felt like hell was freezing over) before I'd have a coffee over a beer after a Geelong win. But fcuk me, was it cold! I'm sure tea and coffee sales were through the roof last night.

 

[Partridge]

Where the hell ru Partridge get off your rocking chair, put your shot gun away and come to a game pls.

Good chance I'll be there Friday night.

Boy was it cold. Walking to meet Rabs and Bots at HT was not pleasant

The pop up barista bar on the top level players stand had a line longer than to get a beer.

That would be excellent. We weren't after a few Fridays ago- trip down took 2-3 hours- but this is going to be a very special one, and with hopefully a special result. Going to leave Melbourne before 3pm this time. That Westgate is a glorified carpark on Friday nights.

Doesn't surprise me!

Half time catchup a certainty VD. Will be in touch during the week.

I envy you lot going again this week. Boris plus Jimmy both playing in special, milestone games. I'll just consider myself lucky if I can get out of the city of churches and home in time to watch the match on TV.

I've advanced to LOTI as of yesterday, if you get time, but the half time walk / talk will be great.

Friday night in Geelong from Melbourne... you'll be leaving early then I take it.

My brother went to the Cats- Crows game Fri night early this year in Adelaide, one of the highlights of his supporting life.
Would be a great day to come down. There are spare m'ships this week...

It's a great experience watching footy at AO. Great atmosphere and a bonus when we win. It's a lonely place to lose, though.

Earlyish. Getting picked up from work near Melbourne Central. Logistics to be fully arranged.

Gloves are the best. I wear gloves around at work all the time in winter.

Good chance I'll be there Friday night.

Good chance I won't be there Friday night.

Why dont you train it. Would be a lot faster than peak hour Friday traffic I'd imagine.

Look for the short bearded bloke crawling on the ground looking for loose change and yell out loud 'get off the ground rabbi,' that way I'll know who you are.

It's the getting home after a late Friday game.
Trains from Southern Cross to outer East are appalling late at night.

 

[Shell]

Air bnb it then too.

Yes, but he flew up Fri late avo.
Sounds like you have work and family commitments.

If you do train it, always a lift available post game, unless we leave early which we occasionally do on selected depressing occasions.
