I still can't believe that the St Kilda game is the last SCG game for the year for those with little ones...

With you there stella, my family had such a top top day for the Saints game we've being saying the same thing for a while.

Litmus test will be the crowd for the Lions game. Wouldn't expect the Crows or the Roos to draw too many.

We were the same too. For a long time I have been going with my dad, the Saints was the first game my 3 y.o. son had gone to and he thought it was the best thing in the world... on top of that his beloved Barry Hall kicked a goal from right in front of him in the first minute!

He has talked us into letting him go to the Collingwood match as well, but he seriously will be awake for the first 1/4 and a half... and will turn into an iceblock...

Why do we have to play Brisbane twice? I am sick of having to play the best team twice.

An iceblock in Sydney, try going to the football in Melbourne.

Spent a week in Sydney a couple of weeks ago and had a great time walking around with out a jacket at night, it was dead set warm.

But, if we lose a WA game, what will Peter Hatley do for his holidays????

[Wardy]

We wait and see what the AFL decides, but as always it comes down to the mighty dollar - so I think we will be doing the road trips as per usual and the Pies staying at home.

We can of course hope for a miracle and get a few more games in Melbourne.

I have, bloody freezing there too... Homebush is one of those places that seems to get down and extra few degrees in the evening... and he is just a little fellow!

[ScottH]

Thats coz, Homebush is built on a swamp. There would be a lot more moisture in the ground than normal there.

I was out there last Saturday night at the Wallabies v Scotland match - had four layers of clothes and thermal blanket and was still freezing! - and yet there heaps of lovely Scottish chaps wearing Kilts and short sleeved shirts! (it made this old girls heart skip a beat I can tell you!)

Still dont like Homebush though - prefer the SCG anyday - its more like home!

Sydneysiders are spoilt brats Being of "tasmanian" blood, I hardly feel the cold. It is like 20 degrees most winter days here and everyone complains at work! (Totally fine for me lol)

I start complaining when it hits 30's and the jungle Sydney humidity hits 9000% !!!!

[Wardy]

you are right - most sydneysiders havent experienced a winter on the western side of the great dividing range - having worked in Tamworth for 5 years and that means 5 summers and winters, we experienced the lot. The winters in Tamworth were far colder (-7 in the mornings sometimes!) than the winters I endured for 3 years in Melbourne, and then a Tamworth summer - 45 degrees, dust & then the floods - but the 11 a side Aussie Rules comp was always fun to watch, and there were only 3 teams so it was a rather short season!

if you can sit at a tassie night game and live ...i doubt any cold would bug you

I read that this morning, then gave a yell of delight.
