Whoops, there goes another year. Whoops, there goes another pint of beer.

Was wet at Prospect but was colder two weeks previous. Wasn't cold at all.
After enduring games at Footy Park on alluminium seating and a Friday night game in Canberra at Bruce Stadium it was quite balmy.
It is a winter sport.
And I just had a short sleeve polo, jacket and jeans. Was handy finding out my shoes were waterproof though.
As long as there's cloud about it never gets that cold here.

I always laugh when people here complain about the cold knowing it got down to minus 22 for a Bengals game in Cincinnati and apparently felt like minus 50. :lol:
A lot of soft people here. ;)

Frigidly cold all weekend. Was at The Bay Oval Saturday then backed it up yesterday morning with the youngest having an away game a Port Districts at 8:30.


I was runner for my daughter's game at Port District and it was as bitterly cold as I can remember. Reminded me of when I played in Canberra.


Glad you both enjoyed God's Country :D

You need to speak to someone about the car park dimensions, more like motorcycle parks!
The steak, egg & bacon roll first thing Sunday morning was a winner though.

Might've been god's country but we couldn't get a refreshing ale afterward.

Oh yes, didn't we love the Brumbies games and Raiders games in mid winter at Bruce?

It's funny being a winter sport, you get and cold but you only really get a few of those extreme days when your playing in a swamp and can hardly see with rain and hail flying sideways into your face.

I must say, I remember well the beers after those games and they never tasted as good as they did then.
Read my reply. It is directed at you because you have double standards
