Just thought it would be interesting to see how often most BTers make it to the game.

I made it to 17 myself, missed out on one game in Melbourne- Kangas.

Made it to the two pre season games in Melbourne too :P Tough year.

How many H&A games did others get to?

I only got to four games this year, living in Adelaide, and all. For the record, they were:
  • Anzac day: pfffft.
    Hawthorn (first time): 1 point loss, pfffft.
    Adelaide in Adelaide: the less said the better. Except f*** that.
    Melbourne at the dome: I hate those f****** and will be glad to see them exit early.
Yes, a fantastic array of disappointment there.

I went to all games in Melbourne bar the West Coast one, and second clash with Collingwood. Was pretty pissed off at missing the second one!

Had some uni commitments which I could not leave.

The only game i could make it too this year was the pre season match up here in Mildura when we SPANKED the Tigers. Was very good, i was pumped about the year. Then look what happened!! Work most saturday's so makes it hard to get to any games but do watch pretty much every game on TV or the internet.

And yes Goss, very tough veiwing this year!!

I went to 19. All of the ones in Melbourne, plus the Adelaide game we got thumped in 8) Usually would have gone to Brisbane and Sydney as well but $ wise couldn't do it this year.

I went to one - Nth Melbourne

Pretty ordinary game of football but the grog squad and actually getting to see some live football always makes up for it.

Saw Ess v Freo at Subi - reasonable performance - CJ looked the goods until injured.

Bit hard to get to matches from over here - maybe when I win lotto I will become a fully fledged member and fly to Melbourne every second weekend! :lol: :D

Just one. Went to Adelaide and Barossa Valley in June and caught my 1st live Essendon match in about 15 years. Needless to say, I shouldn't have bothered...

I think i got to 11 out of the 18 games we played in Melbourne. Pretty poor effort, and my attendance really dropped off in the 2nd half of the year.

The matches i miss are usually the night games on Friday/Saturday, what with this being the year when i've got 21sts to go to almost every week. As much as i love my Bombers, i love free alcohol more :P .

Disappointingly, I missed my first Melbourne based game in over a decade. Roos. Watched it on the telly though whilst on a golfing weeekend away.
Also, didn't manage an annual interstater this year either as the planets didn't line up unfortunately.

So, 2 games down on the usual menu this year, though my youngster enjoyed almost every game with me. Maybe enjoy wasn't the right word. He loves to sing the song after the game. He couldn't talk after the Brissie and filth games. :D

Just the two for me this year. Against the handbags at the dome, and against the chardonays in Sydney.
