Aside from working.

I have an optional shift tomorrow - usually because they are 'optionals' and not 'obligations' I tned to skip them,
but considering my workplace is much, much closer to the 'G than home - I might just surprised them and rock up.

Bonus of it being that I can leave pretty much whenever - so I'll be shooting through just after 4 to head somewhere
closeby for a few pre-drink bevos.

Anybody else head out (or have time to head out) prior to a match for a pre-game bevo or two? Where do you go?!

I'll be at Transport waiting for my brother to knock off and turn up - and I'll be buying jugs of beer* for Carlton-supporting
strangers...

...'cos that's the kind of guy I am - when I'm not carrying on like a pork chop over fudged memberships... :)








*room-temp light beer

Get into the city at about 5pm for some pre-drinks as well. Not sure where yet but usually we just stay at the bar in Southern Cross because we're waiting for mates getting a later train in. Might see if they're keen on Transport so I can take you up on that free beer :thumbsup:

I'm NSW so I'm watching it on the Teeve....I'd rather watch the footy alone because I am far too intense, other supporters around me just make me irritable with their crappy comments so I'm at home on the couch and hubby will be out with his mates away from me. :mad:

Pacing back and forwards all afternoon trying not to think too much about it as I have a two day holiday. I'll be cracking that BOAGS Premium I saved from last year at around 4:40pm Beijing time as I listen to the game on line and immerse in the game day thread.

Go Blues!

Hey CK, i heard the last guy around here that offered drinks to TCers is still working off his credit card! :) Anybody that is in the area and keen is welcome to a beverage of thier choice, except 'carlton cold' - i'll be in the outside bit of the Transport Bar from 5.30, wearing my jumper, a black jacket and a gray cap. Just ask if i'm Sparky, everyone knows me as that! :)

Before the Game ???

Well, I reckon I'll be paying a long visit to the loo as I am already nervous as all hell...

I am having the same butterflies in my stomach as I used to get before finals games

Cannot wait

Go Blues
