Despite the result a great weekend was had by the MWTS group.
Many went down Friday with a good number turning up at the Limerick Arms Hotel on Friday night (the only place in Melbourne to watch the football from).
Lunch on Saturday was the Elephant and Wheelbarrow Hotel where a large group turned up for a few beers, a few cheers and of course some lunch.
The official pre game function was at Rydges hotel and then off to AAMI Park.
First impressions....wish we had it at Brookvale, an absolute state of the art football stadium, great facilities, and a good view of the ground from just about everywhere.
Smallish crowd last night (a surprise for the first game of the season), I think abiout 14,000...the whole upper level across from us was vacant.
Good atmosphere, some vocal fans and a barmy night made it a good start.
We scored first and the Travelling Supportahs were in fine voice...but that's about where it ended.
Still we had a great night and that is mostly what matters.
Good to have DSM5 on board and many of the regular posters on here, My Bluedog, Bones, Jonesey, Jbb,SER08, Vidmar to name a few.
Just at the airport and about to fly home, saw the boys, Jamie is the main drama could be a week, could be 4.
Bring on the Roosters

And meant to add that (albeit briefly) I saw Clontaggo and the Gronk out the front of AAMI...I was hoping they'd come over to Bay 10 but missed them for the rest of the night...maybe they left early!!
