Where will people be watching the game from?

Talk about everything Essendon. Past, Present and Future if it's about the Bombers this is the place to be.

M56, about 15 rows back, Olympic Stand (near the 50m line), 1st Level. Looks like you and I are pretty close JP! I'll look for the freakishly tall optimistic guy.

I really really hope it stops raining.

That was back when most games were played on a Saturday afternoon and they'd constantly go around the grounds for updates – from Windy Hill, to the MCG, out to the Western Ovel or down to Kardinia. We always listened to 774. There were times when there'd be such a big crowd in attendance that you couldn't hear the commentators due to the roar of the crowd. Bloody good stuff it was. The old man use to turn off the radio if things were getting too tight, and switch it back on at three minute intervals to get a quick score check. Funny stuff. He was a very good footballer was the old man. He grew up on a farm in Lancefield and Essendon used to get him a taxi down to ground when he was 16 to play in their twos.
Shit eh, that's a good ol' story Gringy.

Loved listening to the games on radio "back in the day" when I was a kid who couldn't go to the footy. What era did your old man play at the club?
The old man was down there in the late 60s. He never played ones (he broke his wrist badly and it never really healed). He was a midfielder that would run all day and, by accounts I've read in papers, didn't mind dishing out a hip and shoulder.
Like sand through the hour glass, so are the days at the Essendon Football Club.

At home with the other half and almost fully Bomber brainwashed 6 year old daughter. She's inherited my old number 32 Tim Watson jumper I wore when I was a slip of a girl - a long time ago now. Its got the thin looking red sash and no logos. She loves it and keeps asking me about Tim Watson. I keep telling her his son is playing now.

A chardonnay might be the order of the night to calm the nerves. Media blackout until 7 put it on at 8.30.

I have small wager going for us to win by either 40-59 or 60+.

Go the Mighty Bombers !!!!!!

Me too almost - under 'the gulls' in the forward pocket has been the prefered position since we vacated Windy Hill. Have seats somewhere up in the Gods - but being 6'4" in the old - prefer the upright freedom.
My material isn't very good..Oh...and then there's the bladder problem.
