Re: AFF Gathers: In Melbourne!! [1-3 August 2008]

Just to put all the games at the one spot to help:

Round 18

Fri 1/8 Collingwood v Hawthorn @ MCG - kick off 7.40pm
Sat 2/8 Essendon v Melbourne @ MCG - kick off 2.10pm
Sat 2/8 Geelong v Richmond @ Telstra Dome - kick off 7.10pm
Sun 3/8 St Kilda v Port Adelaide @ Telsta Dome - kick off 2.10pm

My number 1 choice is still the Fri night game. Sat arvo would be 3rd choice. Sat night would be out as the dinner is the main event of the whole weekend. Sun arvo would be 2nd choice.

1st & 2nd choice for me are interchangeable, as it will depend whether I come down to MEL for work on the Thurs/Fri or Mon/Tues. But I would prefer to see a match at the G, rather than Telstra Dome (been to both, but not for an AFL match!)

I'm also all for the Friday night game, there's nothing quite like Friday night footy @ The G.

Unfortunately for me tonight, it's Friday Night Footy @ Subiaco... Eagles V Carlton, will be interesting given it's Juddy's first visit back.

I think the start time just about rules me out of attending this game.

Still on for the Sunday game to watch the inconsistent Saints play....

Generally wouldn't get away from the ground till 5/5.30pm... my flight is at 18:40 - so would probably be cutting it a bit fine for my liking...

Re: AFF Gathers: In Melbourne!! [1-3 August 2008]

I'm not into footy. Heresy in MEL, I know .

If the Friday night game kicks off at 1940h, what time are drinks at the Belgian Beer Cafe? It might be tight.

At best I'm only going to be in MEL for the Friday night but free quite early that afternoon.

I'd certainly like to meet other AFF'ers at drinks. My preference would then be to move on to dinner either with some other similarly interested people or bale and catch up with other folk.

And.. looks like I did well. 8 hours after I booked my flights, an e-mail arrived in my inbox telling me there was a sale for those dates

I'd love to come, however I'll be working in Beijing from late July to late August, and i don't think I'll be allowed to fly back for the weekend! So please have a drink for me!

Nick

p.s. MCG is the best venue to watch a game from!

I am not a footy fan either, so drinks and dinner with other non footy people would be good
