Yes, I did it. I am very happy to let you know that I will be flying to Melbourne for the Preliminary Finals and the Grand Final. I was able to book a seat using some FF miles and partial payment. I've been in two minds about making another trip to Melbourne this year, but when I realised that I hadn't seen the Bulldogs play in a Final since 1999(a five point loss in the Qualifying Final to West Coast at the MCG) and the last Finals win I saw the Bulldogs play in was 1998(Qualifying Final against West Coast) I figured "It's time".
I still have an out in case we don't make the PF(Perish the thought.) The second Final the second weekend should finish the morning(my time) I am due to fly out, Saturday September 11, that is, if it is played Saturday evening your time. In case the Doggies are in that match and lose(and thus be out of the Finals), then I can just rebook my flights for the start of next season with no penalty. Of course, since we will win the first weekend and go right into the PF, I guess I won't have to worry about Week Two of the Finals, will I?
Hopefully I'll be seeing some of you either at training or at the PF and/or (hopefully) the Grand Final. Only 37 more sleeps... :p
