Beat me CJK by about 10 seconds

Looks like the Sunday twilight games were deemed a failure. And rightly so.
I did my bit and stayed home for those.

Not a bad look draw at all. Disappointed that none of the Melbourne games next year are in timeslots that make them doable as a day trip (from Canberra anyway), and the thursday night geelong game is stupid - but the draw looks pretty decent to me!
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
Pretty good result for Melbourne fans. Three at the G (Dees, Tiges and Hawthorn) and two at Docklands (Bombers and Doggies). Will probably have to pay extra for reserved seating at Essendon game but there'll good seats on offer for members at the other four.
I would definitely like to get to one of the games at the refurbished Adelaide Oval. A short walk from the heart of the town sure beats taking on the traffic to get to the old Footy Park. Adelaide will be buzzing now when there are big footy games in town. Tourism SA probably had a say in us visiting twice. I say plan a trip guys.
I've really hated the lack of a consistent time that's crept in, of the 12 games in Sydney with confirmed details I count 11 different time/place combinations. That kinda sucks.
I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
The ANZ game vs Collingwood now in round 2.
Round 3 v the Crows in Adelaide. That'll be fun.
Longmire vs Roos, Round 6, MCG
And a bye in Round 10.
Look forward to those. Even the bye.
Commercially and competitively this is a superb draw.
We double up vs Port and Hawks from the top 6, then Tigers, Essendon, Giants.
We play only in Sydney: North, Freo, Blues, Pies, Cats, and Saints.
And have away games against: Crows, Dogs, Suns, Lions, Eagles, and Demons.
You've still gotta win them but that's a good set of teams to avoid road trips against.
