Coming back from nearly 2 weeks in Sydney.
Currently at Eden and wondering about crossing the border.
Everything was on the go in NSW.
I don't want to go back in lock down.
My brother said I should have stayed in Sydney and somehow go to the game. |

The operation of Collingwood sucks and all they are doing is taking people and loyal people for granted. I think we deserve better. Time to drain the swamp. |
Fair dinkum how old are you? Such bloody juvenile comments from someone who wants to be taken seriously 🥺 To make such comments this early in the season is your right but it is also idiotic 😠 |
Looks like I'll have to get out and mend the fence again...

I had to go home unfortunately.
Crossed the border and there was about 40 cops on duty and not one car for about 150 kms.
Easy money for the coppers!!!
I truly felt I was the Omega Man from that movie in the 70's.
Driving with no other car from Eden to Cann River.
And then what happened ...My car broke down outside of Bairnsdale.
Stuck here for I don't know how long.
So I might be watching the game in regional victoria on friday night. |

| If Collingwood won the flag would you ignore the social distancing advice to get on the sauce with the hordes of celebrating Collingwood supporters? |

If they do and I get to experience 3 flags in my lifetime so far, I would definitely celebrate with my magpie mates. I will never forget the sheer happiness experienced in 1990 and 2010. If I didn't, I would not give myself some more joyous memories to remember forever. It will be a risk but geez, my life has been full of all sorts of risks up to now so I'm a risk taker I suppose. Some of the risks I look back on were absolutely stupid and irresponsible behaviour but somehow I have managed to survive.
I think my utter exhilaration will overcome my reservations about celebrating with my loyal magpie mates with whom I have shared a lifetime of ups and downs following Collingwood. There will be no better experience for me.

Oh wow! How good would that have been? Glad your dad got to experience such a wonderful achievement by Collingwood.

I remember that exact moment. Having witnessed so many defeats and knowing how the Pies had a habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, I was yelling at Matthews "It's too soon! It's too soon! You'll curse us!" my heart was racing. I went to Vic Park that night as well. Walked home to Brunswick at about 3am. Best night of my life!!

Sounds like the GF will be played at the GABBA.
The AFL are expected to confirm that no more home and away matches will be played in Victoria in 2020. And just as Chris Scott got his GMHBA games too.
With 4 weeks of finals to be held in October, it's sounding more and more likely the GF will be in QLD. (Nothing confirmed yet).

THE AFL has all but conceded there will be no further home and away matches played in Victoria in 2020. |
I feel like the WA premier has cost his state the chance to host the GF. And I feel like those in NSW want the GF, but the negative response by those who wanted it at the SCG and the "who cares" opinion of the general public in Sydney have given Queensland the box seat. Their premier came to the aid of the AFL too. Now we just need to beat the Lions up there in the GF, wouldnt that be something!
Interestingly, the BBL released their fixture today. The Melbourne Stars will be playing at the MCG on December 5.

Im great mates with some of the ground staff and venue operations staff at the MCG and MCC they told me this week they have seen MCG last match of Aussie rules in 2020 both finals and grand final included. They are in a few weeks starting to prepare the MCG both on and off field for the upcoming cricket 20/21 season.
Its a dead place now a days at the MCG all is occuring is routine maintenance checks and thats about it.
The cricket wickets that are placed just next to the main entry to punt rd oval in its compound during the off season (footy season) are getting extra maintenance too. |
