    Interstate and cant make it - what will i do!

    I've got commitments in rAdelaide Saturday afternoon, but will definitely be home in the lounge (in Adelaide) watching the big match Saturday night.

    Not sure what to do, I'm normally a social media tart and end up spending more time on twitter and fb reading comments about the match than watching the match while they are on.

    Being in Adelaide the match is getting blanket coverage.

    Basically, my plan is to turn OFF my ipad/iphone and laptop for the duration of the match.

    WHEN we win I'm gonna post a simple message on facebook to tell everyone in Adellaide to get %&%%^*. Or maybe something more polite.

    If we do the opposite of winning I'm gonna leave town.

    OR there will be a match day thread on WOOF, I culd limit myself to reading and replying on that

    What are other non-attendees doing?

    Dunno.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

      I'm 90 mins north of Brisbane, so I sympathise with you.

      I am trying to comfort myself with the notion that I will be there come hell or high water when we make the GF

        No offence fellow woof brothers and sisters, but i wouldn't recommend going on the woof match day thread during the game as it tends to be so negative and depressing!
        More of an In Bruges guy?

          I'm with you T&T, we just have to win this game. Cow ugly jumper bandwagon jumping, make the ball go the other way shouting, tea cosy knitting, why don't you go for an Adelaide team, I go for both Adelaide teams, the team for all with Australians, you painted your letterbox dickhead, Mark ruccuito opened another cafe, Adelaide media, Stephen Rowe, graham face like an old footy Cornes, bunch of twats.

            Must win game. I'm 0/3 for first week finals I've been to, but they were all QF so I'm hoping for a different outcome Saturday. Also have a few Crows friends coming along (and a number back in Adelaide) so a loss will baizcally be intolerable for 12 months.

            Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

              Unfortunately prior committments preclude me from attending as well, thus will watch at home or see if there are other Sydneysiders that wish to watch the game at a local watering hole. Certainly will try not to log onto any social media site whilst the game is on (ok maybe at half time).

                Stressed out all night about this game then got up, put my number 6 guernsey on and went to work.

                All I need to worry about is finding out if I'm travelling to Perth or Melbourne next week.

                  I just realized that with no Adelaide teams in the finals after this weekend, flights to Melbourne for Grand Final day wont be over priced

                    I think I'm 3-8 for the 1st week finals attended.. We are ok at making finals, just not real good at winning them.

                    Hopefully that changes starting Saturday.

                      Yep - same here Mantis.
                      On the plus side - we're 4-3 for the second week during that time!!

                          I have been to finals in 74,76,85,94,98,99, 06,08,09,10. Missed 92, 97 due to being overseas.

                          The only wins I have seen are 85 first semi, 98, 06, and the three wins in 08,09,10 second week only of course.

                          So as far as first final, only 06 and 98 and I missed the 92 and 97 ones. We have lost all other first finals in those above years.

                          My gut feeling is we will win and win well this Saturday.

                              Confession -- this will be the first final I've attended in person. Clean record so far…!

                              I'm so excited.
