Had to take customers into the AUDI Club the last two weeks at AO and I hate to say it but it was easier to watch the Power game as opposed to the Crows game, at the crows game we had a group of crows fans behind us that we're painful to be near, no idea of the game, and any time someone stood up to get a drink they would yell at us to sit down - it's a corporate area and it's my job to get up and down and get customers drinks. Same seats obviously this week and none of the above occurs. I have sat in different seats at AO when the crows play and we have some seriously dud supporters.

Thought Port looked pretty good, will be better with a few back in, Wingard when he is on is scary, he can touch the ball 15 times and win you a game!

Have heard from two separate sources that Polecs injury is likely season ending and possibly career threatening .. Hopefully just rumors

Think Melbournes former skipper Jack Trengove.

I'd be happy to win by a point. Highly doubt we'll see a Geelong side go down by 14 goals this year.

Hang on, I'm nothing but courteous. I take the glass away from my mouth, utter small pleasantries and acknowledge your presence before I once again become thirsty.

I was told three weeks ago Polec was done for 2015, I was surprised it took a journo this long ( after Saturday nights game ) to ask Hinkley a direct question. Good to hear Ken be honest, didn't play any games, just said if he's a risk we won't take it.

I watched from The Hill of Grace Restaurant Saturday night and thought Port were excellent.
The Dogs just clung on but weren't good enough to take the next step.
I predicted that Port would kick the first goal of the quarter and then the Bulldog resistance would end and Port would blow them away - about right.
Wingard is just brilliant. Always steps up to do the job when required - kicks those clutch goals.

And...corporate boxes at Port games seem to be the least corporate corporate boxes I've ever seen ;)

Always on Saturday night, he goes missing a fair bit.

Even better you could both go in my place next time - corporate is only good imo if your the customer. AUDI is a great place to watch the game but when your hosting you dont get to watch all that much, my point was actually that despite all the press at the minute, I find port supporters easier to be at the game with than my own teams. Havent been to a showdown for a long time though so this could be different I suppose.

Huge game Friday night with many exciting prospects. Heading there with my Best man and Groomsmen who both are mad passionate Cats lovers and the wife in tow who will perform the role of Des driver like the champion she is :D

Predictions ;
Port by 23 points
Crowd ; 51,023
$ spent on beer between the 3 of us ; $300
Beer spilt ; 180ml
The amount Selwood ducks, rolls and leads with the head ; 14
Hot dogs ; 2
Stupid bets between each other ; 6
BOG ; Robbie Gray
Leading goal scorer ; Schultz 4

Should be a cracker. Last night game I went to was v Hawks and we were unstoppable in the first quarter. I'd like to sincerely thank the likes of Carlton, Essendon, St.Kilda and Collingwood for allowing us a decent time slot. Let's make the most of it.
