It is such a let down after the finals...I try to get excited about the horses, some car racing and some better weather, but every year I loath October for sport esp. the footy.

Sucks not having footy over the summer months, I just try and find something constructive to do whilst following all the threads on Bigfooty just to keep the water bubbling till next season.

I've got the NBA, NFL, and Cricket to entertain me. Still bloody miss Footy though.
Apparently there's footy over the summer played in the NT, and they show it on ABC2. That channel doesn't work on my Foxtel though... that might have gone some way to getting my footy fix.
European soccer has good atmosphere but the stop start nature of the game can sometimes be too much to bear. NFL? NBA? MLB? Never got into them, might have to give them a go.
The Rugby World Cup is a good event but unfortunately it'll be over soon. Domestic cricket is a good replacement (same with the Aussies playing) but plenty of the ING Cup games are shown during the working week and not on weekends which makes them hard to go to or even watch on TV.
Only 5 months or so til the NAB Cup.

Could watch any of those sports.
Could also watch paint dry, so it's a good thing as I have a house to tend to.
Will be distracted by the rest of the F1's, the V8 Supercar's, the Spring Racing Carnival but definitely not the cricket.
I like to spend much of the summer sitting in front of the A.C. with a cold beer, watching Bulldog premiership glory.
Granted it's an expensive exercise - I have to get a fully-qualified projectionist in to put the show on for me; 35 mm film won't work in my DVD player.
And who is this character Roy Rene that pops up in the ad breaks? They should give him his own show - or at least a judging gig on Idol.

Bring on 2008. Trade week is worse, because if your team is involved in trade week, it urges you on to hurry up the next season
Love the footy, but no, dont miss it....very easy to get into the spring carnival, then there is family things with Xmas etc...then the tennis..and before you know it, the NAB cup is starting...always something to look forward to...
Exactly, then when the footy season comes around you are bursting at the seams. The break is good, Saturday nights though aren't quite teh same when you stay home.
Don't miss it at all. Summer without footy ... beautiful!!!!
