Brisbane all booked. Rooms at the Ibis for $125/night, flights ~$400 return. Short term pain on the credit card but will be forgotten in 6 months. Hope they turn on the weather, and not the rainy kind!

Bells is only 2km from the CBD ... Short walk or tram ride...stay anywhere In town.

I stayed at Kingsway motel South Melbourne a few years back ... was OK

Been a while since I went to a game at the Gabba (saw both draws) but the QLD supporter group post match function used to be at the Pineapple Hotel, Kangaroo Point.

The Tiger sale that comes up on the BF site saying $1 return seems to be sold out. It was only up to midday aedt tomorrow and I wouldn't have expected it to last that long. Single return cost is still $100 at the best but with the timing of some of our games a stopover in Melbourne may be required so the cheersquad bus would be cheaper overall. And you'd also get back the next day.

Or the Shafston. In fact IIRC the Shafston was first choice but renovations meant a different venue had to be sourced.

I was at those draws too wharfie.

My interstate travel from Perth is the Hawthorn Anzac Day clash and to Melbourne for the Essendon game.On top of round 1 here should be a good year, the way work is hoping to add 3 finals to it as well.

Ms Vile and myself will be going to the Sydney game. Not sure if we'll go to any others at this stage, but I think we've picked a good one!

I'll go to our 5 games in Melbourne and home games I may go to are Hawthorn on ANZAC Day and Dad suggested Richmond in Round 8 but that's a Sunday Twilight so I'm not too keen on that.
