They will be lucky to get 20,000 there.

Billy Hughes?????? The Aaron Hamill of Australian history!!!!!!!!!!



Represented every party in Federal Parliament except the Country Party and when asked why said "By God man you have to draw the line somewhere."

Unfortunately Aaron Hamill crossed it. :wink:


Yes, well unlike Billy, Aaron was a Country member......

I was invited to the game on Sunday but will be thankfully flying out of Melbourne in the afternoon. Should arrive in Coolangatta in time to watch the second half in reasonably surreal hysterics. I can't feel anything other than confusion due to the nature of this priority beast, so I'll aim for high-end confusion.

Definitely not wearing pants.

I suppose I am the opposite to many of you. Not sure how you could really focus on a movie or a different activity whilst knowing that your team was playing in a match of such unique nature (I know I couldn't). Surely knowing Carlton was involved in this match would distract you to the point that you just might as well watch the game.

I go to all the games and will attend this week but I am really nervous about it as we all are. It's going to be a bizarre experience this week.

I'm going to find something to do around the house. Wash the windows or clean the gutters or something... anything... and I'll fair dinkum be more nervous than I am before a grand final. I'll probably turn the radio on for a minute at a time, dreading hearing something like "and Lance Whitnall lines up for his sixth goal, and he's got it! Oh, that pretty much guarantees his future at Carlton... and look at all the richmond fans in the crowd, chanting Carlton... Carlton..."

Sunday will be like some sort of strange litmus test for footballing stupidity. I really hope we don't fail it.

The test starts with Richmond playing St Kilda on Saturday.

I'll be a lot more comfortable once Richmond lose.

:-D



I'll be rocking in a ball, head between my knees. That's mainly because I'll have to go back to work on the Monday, but the game doesn't help much either.

I can't go this week. I've actually said to Ms Punter we should have the spring clean this Sunday. I just won't be able to watch it, because I'll be actively cheering against the boys if I do. It's crap behaviour on my part but that's the way it is.

Wasn't planning on attending, got invited to a corporate box (centre wing if you don't mind). Therefore I will have leave of my senses well before the game has finished.

Usually if Carlton is playing in Victoria I'm there. It doesn't matter what the weather's like, if I'm feeling like shite or if I think we will get smashed, I'll go because I love watching my team play. But, for the first time ever I'm thinking maybe not this time. I want to support the boys. I enjoy see all the young guys learning the game and any other time would love for them to have a win to finish the season on a high. But if we beat Melbourne on Sunday it will be such a hollow victory. What a way to finish the season. I wouldn't be surprised if the attendance is abysmal. Demon supporters are fickle at the best of times and I'm sure there are many Blues supporters who, given the circumstances, will choose to stay away. What's on at the movies? I haven't been for a while!

I can recommend the Bourne Ultimatum.
If you haven't seen the first two, rent them and watch them back to back during the Richmond game Friday night.
