Opinion So which round should I go to?

[mezaire]

OK, wasn't sure where to put this, so I'll start with the friendly folk
Making my 2nd 5 day trip to Melbourne next year to watch footy and play some poker
Last year was my first ever visit to the G and Docklands, it was bloody awesome although WC got done by Collingwood sucked. Sucked even more that the Collingwood players were in the private room next to the poked room at the crown that night, celebrating loudly

So which round to go....
Rd 3 has the GF rematch at the G on Saturday night. Would be awesome and never been to a night game at the G.
But, no Thursday or Friday night games and the games at Marvel are Carlton vs Sydney and WB vs GC, not exactly inspiring games.

Rd 6 Anzac day. So could go to anzac day on the Thursday which would be amazing, but would have to travel to Geelong Sunday arvo to see WC. Saturday arvo game at Marvel is Saints vs Crows...men

Rd 8 WC play Saints on Saturday night at Marvel but no Friday night game at the G.
Good day MCG options though with Carlton Vs Collingwood and Hawks vs Giants plus North vs Geelong at Marvel

Rd 15 has a Thursday night game at Marvel of Bombers vs Giants but no night game at the G. WC play Hawks Saturday arvo at the G and pies vs north at marvel on Sunday would be good

Rd 20 has good Friday night ans Saturday games at Marvel, plus Saturday night at the G of Melbourne vs Richmond. WC play Carlton at Marvel on sunday

Rd 22 has a blockbuster of WC and Richmond at the G on Sunday arvo, but this is the least likely game we could win all year and would rather see a win.

So thoughts....will be staying pretty close to Marvel

Prob leaning towards rd 20, although anzac day would be bloody fantastic

Have a Father/Son trip with 8-10 of us every year and have chosen to go round 20 next year. Choice was between 3 & 20...

Id go round 6, if you plan it right you can go to ANZAC eve too. I went last year, it was awesome.

Round 3

Melb v Ess on Friday night then the Grand Final replay Sat night, both at the 'G

Round 6 if you want an experience.
ANZAC day is as good as a GF atmosphere. Meanwhile at Geelong you can expect a fair bit of abuse which, depending on how much of a campaigner you are, can be a bloody good laugh.

15 looks the best for a Friday - Sunday trip. Plus it's NNs return game

Not usually that sort of supporter but never been to Geelong before, so as long as I dont get beaten up it might be fun
Thinking rd 6 could be a goer. Fly over Wednesday, Anzac eve and Anzac day game, Saturday at Marvel and then GMHBA in Sunday, fly home monday

They don't call it GBH Stadium for nothing

GBH Stadium fun

So so you think they'd see the joke if I got 'Kelly' printed on the back of my eagles jumper and then asked him to sign it after the game

Need a poll. My answer in the poll: Jack Watts.

I've been there twice over the year and found it the most boring place to watch footy. Zero atmosphere - we could hear Chappy's hammys twang from your seat!!

I’ll be there in round 3 against the pies
I’m looking forward to this trip as I have a couple of other things on (a Work Conference and The Cursed Child). I planned it before the fixture came out so was over the moon when it was released .

I don’t attend games as a neutral so the Anzac Day long weekend just doesn’t hold the same appeal to me . I can see the appeal for those who do though . I’ve never been to Geelong but would rather my first game there be a Saturday afternoon for travel reasons .
