I think the first game is on the 30th of March. At least that's the first Doggies game.

The Commonwealth games finishes around the 26th.

1. We don't all follow footy. some of us are woodies instead.
2. Dunno, but its too soon whenever it is
3. They oughta delay it fer 50 years or so
4. Melbourne Cricket Team ?

my apologies guys
i thought afl was a victorian religion that was instilled at birth
who are the doggies is that essonden?
my better half wants to go to victoria via canberra in febuary/ march sometime.
i have seen the huge crowds on tv watching a game and wanted to see what all the fuss is about
apart from afl, i want to see old melbourne gaol,soverign hill , catch a murrey cod , visit soverign hill anjd grab a nice bottle of plonk from rutherglen

Hmmm I might just get it in the neck from the footy freaks

I was born in Ipswitch so missed out on the afl indoctrination
the fuss is the same for most sports down here.

Don't miss the spectacular Great Ocean Road, 12 apostles and the shipwreck sound and light show at Warrnambool.

and London bridge fell down

NICE drive for any of us West Oz folk headin' to Vic for the games or whatever.

Apostles or no apostles, great scenery moreover if going over the Otway ranges better part of the drive I reckon.

Cheers

The Doggies are the Western Bulldogs. Essendon are the Bombers. They are a lowly team that isn't worth spitting on. Not quite as bad as the Magpies.

Going to a game of footy is really a treat. Go to a game at the MCG. Doesn't really matter who is playing. Well maybe give it a miss if Collingwood, Carlton or Essendon are playing. Crap teams all of them.

If the weather is crap which is a possiblity in Melbourne at anytime of the year, you can head on down the Telstra Dome which has a roof.

I checked the AFL site and they haven't got next seasons fixtures up yet.
