AFL 2023 Preliminary Final Carlton vs Brisbane Pre Game Prognostications

[ElwoodBlues1]

As a Legend's Lounge member, I get priority access - happy for you to use my barcode number if you still need a ticket ?

Gday Benny, longtime no hear from you...

Nice - good luck with the journey Kruddler.

Meanwhile absolutely surreal to get an email from
The club regarding GF tickets ? and priority access! I was bemoaning paying the extra this year for that, when we were in our slump.  I really hope we get to utilise it this year ??

OK, so i bought tickets for me and my son.

Now to work out how to get there.  :

Looking at flying into and out of brisbane from [insert a major city] and prices are just ridiculous.

I've got the OK from the boss to not have to work fri-tues, so thinking i might be doing a LONG road trip there and back, putting the ranger and camping gear to good use.
No accomodation costs.
No fuel costs (thank you work)
Just time.

That's what I would have done. Love a good road trip.

I was thinking of going along with my son in law and grandson but on looking at the available flights and costs I have opted for the couch. They are Lions fans so we've agreed to barrack for whoever the winner is in the GF.
Just praying we get over the line!

That's what I would have done. Love a good road trip.

Thought about it but I would need a few days to get up there by car these days!

Such a change talking about Preliminary Finals and not about trade targets and list management (unless you're Shieky, or now Lucifer)....lol.

Surreal.
It's been such a challenging decade or so. I have to go back to the highlights so our success (new to my vocabulary ?) sinks in. What a lovely experience.

Go Blues

Great pre preliminary final read.

Carlton's path to the premiership goes through coach Michael Voss's former club Brisbane Lions at the Gabba

I have four kids and a wife so not going to work for me even though we have reserved seat membership.

That's ok... at 5pm we will have a BBQ and beers at home.

Daughter, her partner and I are doing the road trip.  Only he works to 7pm Friday so not much time for any hiccups, but still workable.  Then Monday morning I have a phone conference but as long as I'm not driving that will work.  Decided against doing the return trip right after the game plus get the chance to catch up with my best man who lives up there nowadays.
