my 1st game was ANZAC round 1969, dont remember much but i think we lost to the pies. shit i was only 4. went to a few games a year until about 1977 and since then probbaly 80% off games.

so thats 33 seasons by an average of 18 a year give or take = about 600 + finals about 30. yeppers pushing the 650. i actually have most records since about 1977. thats a lot of damn trees in the cupboard here.

First went around 78' I think, for the next 10 years probably about 8 games a year, since then it's probably averaged out at about 16 incl finals. so .....................roughly speaking.................416 games.

I wonder what it does for your heart in terms of health

First game was at Princes Park against Geelong . We won by 10 points ( I think ) .

Don't know the year , but Chooka Howell , Ken Hands and Bill Milroy were playing for us .
Late 40's or early 50's sometime . Didn't see many between 1958 - 1977 because I was playing .

Impossible to count since then . Got a couple of hundred left in me yet though . ( I hope ) .

First gane 1964 vs Geelong at KP. We lost by one point after Barry Gill (I think) rushed a behind and the siren went!
Next game '68 GF
Went to almost all home games in the early seventies and early eighties before the Army shifted me away.
Go to a few each year now I'm between Mexico and Tassie.
Probably not more than about 150 but not my fault!
I'll be there against Syd and NM this year as well as the three I've seen this season.
I can claim to maybe paying the most to go and see a home and away game, Mexico City to Melbourne to see last year's opener :oops:

Always go to the Adelaide games (usually one/two per year), and usually make it over to Melbourne for a couple as well. Been doing it for about 15 years.

First game was at Claremont oval for a pre-season match in 1982 or 1983. It was the Blues v Claremont. First match in Melbourne was at PP v Sydney in 1984 when Rhys Jones was playing for Sydney. We smashed them. Went to Waverly the next week to see us go down to the Dawks.

I have been to nearly every Carlton game in Perth since 1987, including the Bunbury match earlier this year. I travel to Melbourne almost every two years for the last ten years to watch two games.

So, I have physically been to about 40 games. But I have watched almost evey telecast of every game since they were shown live from back in 1987.

First game i can remember attending was when sticks missed against the siren against the bombers. . . I first became a member in '95 (oh the childhood memories!) and have been a member ever since probably attending 80% of victorian games until '01 since when i've missed 4 victorian based games (ironically we've won all of those games by less than a kick) . . Also, i went to arctic park to watch the saints alot from around '96 til '99 as my cousin was married to former saint matthew young. . Throw in miscelaneous games ive been dragged along to by mates/ finals matches i'd estimate i've been to just under 300games (does this get me life membership? Lol )

First game i went to was in the early 70's against South Melbourne and Lakeside oval. Have been going ever since, missing about 6 years when i had children. Have seen some wonderful games but the one that still sticks in my mind is the 1999 preliminary final against Essendon*. My favourite player is Ken Hunter.

The M 'n' M round 1997 against Adelaide at Princes Park.

And then most of the Melbourne game since then.

And one interstate game, Carlton-v-Sydney Round 1 2003 (i think)

Do games not involving Carlton count?? 2006, 2007, 2008 grand finals

North-v-Melbourne Elimination 2002-2003 ?

+7 games this year not involving Carlton

Round 1- St.Kilda, Sydney
Round 3- Collingwood, Geelong
Round 3- Bulldogs, Richmond
Round 7- Richmond, Brisbane
Round 11- Hawthorn, Sydney
Round 11- Melbourne, Collingwood
Round 12- Essendon*, Melbourne
