But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Yeah not too far away from me 1eyedog. We have probably walked passed each other without knowing. I’m in Level 1 Aisle 34. Great seats where we are and the atmosphere very good. Next year will be different but hopefully in 2022 will be able to sit in our reserve seats again. Would be great to do a woof catch up at some point at the footy.

Hey Comrade
I teach art and design over here. I'm a TAFE-level teacher working in International schools here.
I was in Australia in Febuary and usually spend several months of the year in Australia.
But Covid has thrown a spanner in normal life and it was chaos this year.

Re: The Woofer Insight
Hi Eastie - you should get to a game one day when the wind is blowing a gale to one end. The whole quarter can be played on the same half fwd flank for the whole 2 hours. One of the most frustrating venues for the Twos!
