Visiting Melbourne Aug 10-16

[AZ Cobra Mike]

I would absolutely love to meet up and see your Cobras. I will update once we settle on a hotel. I will be playing for Hawthorn. I've been a huge fan since the late 80's. This is a absolute fantasy come true. Kinda like the Cobra I got this year. Man I'm on a roll!! Now I just need to hit the lotto!!!

You've piqued my interest as to how you became a fan of Australian Rules football? I've lived here for nearly 70 years and have no interest in it at all.

I thought perhaps you worked here for a time or are an ex-pat, but apparently neither is so.

Must be all about those tight little shorts Peter
Mmmm.... Might get me a pair of those.

I was stationed in England for 3 years back in the late eighties. They had a lot of Australian tv shows and I saw my first footy and rugby games then. I was blown away at the raw athleticism and sheer brutal non stop action. Been hooked ever since. I have to pay for special sports cable channels to watch it now but it's totally worth it. I record every game and binge watch them on the weekends. This trip is a dream come true. Can't wait to get there.

Mike, I love the passion, it's akin to my visit to Goodwood a few years ago. Have a fabulous time. If I was a local I'd go and watch you just to see the smile on your face and sense your enjoyment.

PS. Glad it wasn't Warwick Capper's shorts - not that there's anything wrong with that!

We are going to spend a few days in Sydney before we fly home. Send me your contact info and I will buy you a pint.

Mike,

We should be able to drop you and your wife off at the footy, in a couple

of Cobras, let me know if this suits, so long as it's nit raining that is.

Is the game at the MCG?

Wow that would be amazing. I will be confirming our reservations tonight and I will let you know where we are staying. The game is at the MCG. I should get a corporate parking pass with the package I bought so if you plan on staying for the game you are welcome to the pass.
