I to was looking forwarded going to the game but won't be able to make it, I'm stuck in **** hole Mexico South of the boarder AKA Melbourne once again and can't wait till I get back home.

For the past four months I have been basically living out of a suitcase and its starting to take a toll.

Game on Fox Sports 2 live at 2pm OEE. If the Hotel (I assume you are in a hotel) doesnt have Foxtel, The Rising Sun in Richmond is a good venue as they are league friendly. Only 5 mins from CBD.

Weather looks pretty ****e down here for Sunday so I will watch from the comfort of home. Beers are cheap, foods good and there's even a beer wench.

I am staying at the Langham formerly the sheraton and yes it does have fox 1, 2 and 3. Might walk down to Crown or raid the bar fridge at company's expense. Thankfully I head back home on Wednesday night next week.

Sounds like backyard blitz is doing one of those time sensitive renos. Hurry hurry, they are almost here.

I went past Brookie this arvo and there was no signs of any work and the place was looking pretty good. Hopefully all is done.

Dead right CW - out the front is a huge improvement on what it was, new signs and landscaping and all, and plenty of opportunity for the council to make a quid from much better advertising space within good eyesight of the traffic. Then some council members might stop moaning about the Sea Eagles being a drain on the good burghers funds...

Some pics of Brookie Oval taken 10.30am Fri morning. Unfortunately haven't got time to shrink these pics down further so will have to make a few postings for this guided tour of Brookie: (max pic size allowed is 500KB)

Brookie oval surface always drains really well even after heavy rain so the "boggy surface" concerns shouldn't hold water pardon pun  ;D
