Went to adelaide on the weekend, good spot for a trip. Lots of pubs and clubs all very close, a couple are open 24hrs. Glenelg on sunday is a good session too even though we got kicked out early in the night.

Troy Ferg took home the downlow, not a real stong field this year but he was a solid performer.

He must have either budgetted very poorly, or drank/gambled very heavily if he was out of money on Saturday morning. The trip is only just kicking off on the morning of day 2.
 
Drove down to Warrnambool on Friday night and provided some fresh legs to the trip. It was heaps better than last time there. My body clock is a bit out of whack though after missing two nights sleep. Just woke up from my afternoon nap and not sure what to do with myself.
 
Yeah it was okay until I hit the city. Pretty easy roads driving down there and back.

Scared the shit out of the two guys I had in the car on the way back. Both were sleeping so in the middle of the open road and slammed on my brakes and starting screaming at the top of my voice like we were having a head on. The looks on their faces were priceless. :eek::eek::eek:

hahahahahaha that is hilarious
 
In reference to Troy Ferg's budgeting, we left friday morning, had one nite out and Ferg had no money by the saturday morning (gambling,booze), then had money wired to him, got 2900 up from 400 investment at the cas and in 15 mins lost it all or 5 black jack hands.
 
Anyone see page 7 of the Herald Sun? Pearcedale absolutely trashed the place at Warrnambool and two of them got arrested for public drunkenness and drug offences. I am glad that the cops weren't there a week earlier.
 
Where's everyone going this year?

Adelaide for us. From all reports a shithole of a city but very good place for a footy trip. Over 20 of us on the trip and another 5 or 6 heading up on the Saturday.

where in adelaide? We stayed at a backpackers in glenelg about 200m from the beach, spent a lot of time at the jetty bar around the corner and possibly the grand hotel, and went to the cricket when hodgey hit a ton there 2 years ago, awesome fun
 
We are off to Coogee.
Went a couple years back and it was great.
The coogee pub has a cracking beer garden.
Is also close proximity to bondi and kings cross.
About 15 in at this stage. Depending on how we go in the finals there may be another 5-10 that come up also.
 
Dusties are stayin local this year and going to Ballarat. Hear from people that have been on footy trips there before that its not a bad. 20+ going would have more but one of the players is having his bucks that weekend.
 
Got back from Adelaide yesterday and really made me realise a footy trip is all about the crew and not about the location.

Easily the best/most memorable footy trip I have been on.
 
I'm running our footy trip again this year (back by popular demand).

I am probably going to choose Airlie Beach. Anyone been there for a footy trip?? How was it?

Our boys went to Airlie Beach in 2009, Cairns last year. By all accounts both venues were great. Not sure what the overall costs were, or exactly where they stayed. If you want to PM me, I can find out for you. I know they ran fund raisers during the year that subsidised the cost.
