    I was lucky enough to be there last year, so if they make it this year, I won't feel as bad. The Grand Final also falls on my birthday this year, so it could be a double celebration.
    I've alreadt spent in excess of over $1500 on travel this year to go to Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide, and for a 22 year old that doesn't earn the big bucks, that is a lot of money!!
    I promised myself that this year I would cut back, but didn't keep it.
    My choice was a possible grand final or 2 weeks in America and a 7 night cruise to Mexico. Personally I think I have made the right choice.

    Sitting on the wing is better.

    My birthday this year was (as usual) on May 13th, We thumped Richmond by 118 points. What a happy birthday.

    Yup. We'll be there. We were tossing up between Syd-Geelong and Syd-Melb. Glad we picked the latter.

    So, what pub again?
    Captain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sector

    Am taking my 6yo twin daughters for their first ever game of footy. So I won't be in the Cricketers, more's the pity. Nor will I be supping luke warm plastic schooners.

    With the memory of the Comm Games in mind, I'll need to stock up on food and colouring books and textas. They'll probably only last a half however so it will be a wrench to leave at half-time. I may have to take the pa-in-law to help with the organisation - can just imagine when one wants to go to the toilet (and by heavens they do), it'll be a posse.
