Was about to start the thread. You read my mind BAD Good to have another AFL match at Whitten Oval.

[ledge]

Awesome I will go to two of them.

Looks like I know what I am doing on Feb 18.

Looks like I know what I am doing on Feb 18.

Could potentially get over 10,000 which would be more than the game at WO against Richmond back in 2015.

Nothing's better than the WO in February... That breeze is refreshingly welcome!

It's going to be a party atmosphere and it's going to be packed!

With extra can bars, kiosks and portable toilets, we can shoot for 15k. It's going to be epic!

[Webby]

BTW, I can't help but be a little superstitious.. Please rest Libba for that one!!!!

Good to be able to get to a couple of games, but disappointing the last game is in QLD. The last game is the dress rehearsal for week 1, and the second game is usually the equivalent of a VFL match.

[Eastdog]

I just hope it is not mega hot on that day we play at Whitten Oval. January and February are those types of months.

Also, 15 days between last preseason game and 1st H&A game
