0-4 in that lot of games you’re attending and you’ll get a subsequent email from the club asking you to stay away in the future ;)

We will account for Melbourne. In 150 years, they have never beaten us on Adelaide Oval.

This will be the first time I have seen Melbourne play, and Easter Sunday will be the first time I have seen GWS in the flesh. That only leaves Sydney and Fremantle that I have never seen play live.

Apart from Crowies and Wharfies fans, has anyone seen all 18 teams play live?

I’ve seen Essendon play every current team plus Fitzroy and have been to pretty much all current grounds and most of the historical ones

Probably most teams 20+ times with the exception of Freo (probably 10+) and GWS and Gold Coast (probably about 5 times each).
Saw Fitzroy about 5 times. Never saw University play though. ;)

Really looking forward to the Gather Round. Going to GC v Freo at Norwood Oval and the Geelong v West Coast/Collingwood v St Kilda double header on the Sunday. Richmond and Sydney appealed too but logistically it was too hard to do the Norwood match then go to AO.

In terms of seeing all teams live.

Freo is a no; GWS is a no..... all others yes.
