sportsbarAFL: Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye!
September 27th 2006 00:00
For the first time in history I am heading down to the city of trams, coffee and AFL. I have never been there before and I am chomping at the bit to get down there.
After the bitter disappointment of last year, falling just 4 points short of glory and being the only West Coast supporter amongst the ranting and raving of Sydney supporters in a northern Sydney pub, I have decided that it is time to head to see it for myself. I have spent a very dear $1250 on flights, game day tickets and accommodation to spend a very short 28 hours in Mexico.
I have been one of the most passionate West Coast supporters for a long time and realise that if I don't do this now, there will be very few opportunities like it to pop up again in my lifetime. Managing to get my first Saturday night off wok in about 2 months, I'll be back in Sydney at 13:00 Sunday to get back into normal life (however I plan on being very tired and hungover).
Next week I will give you a rundown of the game in the perspective of a supporter at the ground, and plan to take MANY, MANY photos. So wish me luck as I head on down to often bleak and stormy Melbourne, I'll bloody well need it with the swans in the form they are! Alas, I bloody love the Eagles and have the utmost confidence they can break the 12 year drought!
GO WEST COAST!!!!!
