Rounds 11-14

[cat in sydney]

I just noticed that in Round 11 we play at Subiaco against WCE, then travel again to Subiaco the week after to play Freo.

Two weeks in a row to Perth. Has this happened to us before?

We then play Port at Skilled in Rd 13.

What impact do you think that will have on us? Despite being an excellent travelling side over the past couple of years, will the back-to-back Perth trips hurt us, particularly with the Saints in Rd14?

Or are we now experienced and ruthless enough that it won't matter?

It's a bye in between those trips

If Freo bring the same "intensity" to the rd12 clash as they did last year then it will be a tough 3 games for us.

Winning so reguarly makes it easy to think 1 week at a time though, and I doubt those matches would "worry" anyone at the club.

Ah, didn't realise that. Thanks.

In June, Geelong don't play a single game in Melbourne.

but have PA at SS on the 28th.

 

[Copernicus]

We'll be right, haven't we won 10 games in a row interstate or something like that?

I don't think it will faze us at all.

We had Perth and Adelaide in successive weeks last year I think, but I'm pretty sure we've never done back-to-back in Perth before. Although as mentioned, we do have the week off in between, so it won't be nearly as gruelling as first thought.

The only downside is neither match looks quite as easy as it did at the beginning of the year. Both are showing fairly decent home form now. Both will be tough.

Anyway, we've got to get past North first!

maybe the club could organise a 3-week holiday package to keep the boys over in perth for the bye, nice weather, no extra flights etc. Surely it wouldn't cause too much red tape - they could all stay at Joel Corey's parent's house.

The more time they spend in Perth the more likely they are to be punched by Jeff Farmer near a pub.

Or Taylor's farm.

I hope I can get tickets, how stupid is it, the Perth Cats aren't getting allocated tickets anymore, however Interstate Members can contact the club to get them.

However I don't get Interstate memberships anymore, I get the full 11 Home one, (which i don't use, only to allow for GF ticket "chance"), and I have to go to ticketmaster at 9am on the 25th of May for the eagles game tickets, like all the bandwagoners.

Last time I got there at 9:15 and it had sold out!! (lucky I had a HJ's contact for free tickets)

You know the worst bit tho, at 9am on 25th of May, ACDC aussie tour tickets go on sale too. What are the chances?

I will be devestated if i miss out, only missed one game since moving here in 1992.

Ps Gazza can stay at my place if he brings Lauren. I will force them to procreate.

I eagerly await 4 Corners' scandalous exposé of AFL players raping their WAGs at the behest of the fans
