VFL Game Day Bendigo v Werribee, Saturday 23/6/12 | Bendigo 17.6.108 def. Werribee 8.15.63

[Doss]

Perhaps I'm creating this a little early, but with another Essendon-less weekend (well, no match in Melbourne to go to at least), I think I might head down to watch this.

Anyone else going?

 

[Macca18]

Been to the last two Bendigo games (Williamstown @ Windy Hill and Box Hill @ Box Hill) and I find it less stressful than watching Essendon and always good to see the next generation have a run around. Will probably make it a hat trick this week and head out afterwards for another dreaded Essendon performance in Perth.

Only if Hal's playing.

Pfft. Beardist.

Only if Dean Putt's playing.

efa

 

[bombermick]

Also been to the last two Melbourne games, but have to work sadly.

I love the atmosphere of VFL games and seeing the stars in the crowd, mingling with the kids and over-eager adults. Assuming Hibberd and Reimers are in Perth, hopefully Kav and Gumby can knock down the door.

 

[Old Skool]

Looking forward to this one.

 

[pazza]

Have my housewarming so no appearance from me either.

I found the drunken louts in the crowd rather too much last w/e.
Will not be back.

 

[Doss]

Well I'm comforted that your comment isn't directed at me- I didn't drink.

Pretty sure you saw me refuse a beer (and a free one at that) too!

S_20 doing his best Kong Impersonation.

S_20, I wish Kyle Cheney played VFL against us every week. He was so...baggable?

As chief ambassador of the Ranga Confederation here, I'd ask that you tread lightly.

 

[Doss]

I make an exception for Essendon-supporting rangas.

 

[Slattery_20]

Cheney did not move off that one flank for two quarters. Even with said drunken louts hurling abuse at him.

Must be the only patch of shade, scared of that glaring sunlight...

 

[Lord Nicholson]

I make an exception for Essendon-supporting rangas.

Rangas build premierships. Look no further than Moorcroft, Fletcher and Bewick.

There's a distinct lack of Rangosity in the current Essendon side.

 

[bombermick]

I didn't notice the drunken louts, certainly no worse than you'd see at AFL level.

I do believe there was a fair degree of taking the urine in those comments

Right. My sarcasm detector is running on empty.

 

[Drummer_19]

If the weather isn't awful I might trek down and engage in some loutery.

Thought the weather forecast was for 12c - Rain/Hail/Sleet/Snow !

 

[Doss]

The app on my phone (which uses BoM data) says a maximum of 13C with "a shower or two"...but it has a sunny symbol as well, so hopefully some periods of at least passable weather.

I'm going to be keeping a watchful eye on Freezer for the rest of the year. Was handy in the second half of last year, and has been rock solid this year. I reckon he will get rookied for 2013, if not drafted.
