    Send a defence force chopper in to extract him safely and get him to games!

    Team, we have a very special task for the next couple of months. Has everyone got their PPE? It's time to head to Portland!
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    Yep that’s right TD all at the old grounds but I believe Hose lived in the country area in the 70s early 80s and travelled to Melbourne to watch the games.

    To be honest i could normally make the Western oval in 90 minutes. Waverley was a bit of a nightmare because i would get a bit lost on the way there and be in such a rush that i'd neglect to check where i'd parked. Then i'd come out after the game and have to wait in fading light for the other cars to empty out of the car park to find mine. And we mostly lost. Happy Days.

    Nah, Gary is on another level.

    Oh man. Semi final day V St Kilda in 1992 and on the way somebody had the brilliant idea of dropping into one of our connections in St Kilda and scoring some mull for the trip. We ended up nearly getting arrested in Warrigul road because we'd tapped into our supply and failed to notice (according to the cops) THREE complete traffic light rotations.


    After the game we spent nearly 3 hours of celebrating time staggering around knee deep in the mud looking for the bloody car in the car park. It was OK tough because we had a heap of hashish... Although looking back now it might have been the shitloads of Hash we kept smoking that made finding the car so difficult.

    I remember from the thread about woofers VFL matchday trips. Docklands much better compared to Waverley closer to the action and well served by public transport. Waverley really didn't have that - it wasn't as well connected and not in a central area like Docklands.

    Crikey! I never even considered dope and footy as being suitable bedfellows. Cricket maybe.

    That was an amazing afternoon. I still remember standing on the seat with another bulldog fan after the game belting out the club song.

    But we digress.

    Last match at Whitten oval and I run into a couple of my cousins-one of whom grows the best dope this side of Bangladesh. "lat's go" one of them said and I said "Best idea I've heard today but where can we go?" One of my cuz says 'No worries, I know the food van guy, he will let us jump in the back of one of the vans" so we asked and he said no worries and in the back we hopped.

    Problem was the kid who was supposed to hang around and let us out when we were finished got distracted and wandered away. We had to shout and bang on the walls until a very amused looking copper opened up the doors of the van and said "what are you blokes up to?" but just as he said it the big fight broke out on the field and he rushed off to have a look.

    It took them three traffic light rotations to prop you in the first place?

    Times have changed.

    It was more that it took us 3 rotations to notice the blues and twos. I remember the copper pointing it out. "Do you five know how long you were sitting there with us trying to catch ypour attention?"

    Apparently debutants can have immediate family there. The email from PG and Ameet says Hincks won’t be.

    That is shit from the club. The club should've lobbied hard to make Gary front and centre behind the goals.

    On the flipside, I'm kinda glad Gary wasn't made to watch that by himself.
