I have never been to Manuka for an AFL game so suggested...?

Question

to my partner re going to either the Swans v. Melb. match in June or the Swans v. Western Bulldogs match in August which I thought might be a better one to see. He said do the Melbourne one as we should win that one? But I would have been brave enough to go to the Footscray one . Is he being chicken????

Answer 1

Tell him to go.

Answer 2

When I was at Manuka, it was only 9C that day in 2001, North vs. Port. I my seat was in shade in front of the press box. Almost felt like a cold November night for football in Kansas.

Go to the game, you will enjoy an afternoon of country footy with an AFL game involved.

Answer 3

tell him to grow some balls and see a contest

Answer 4

Unless you are local, go in June.

August is very cold in Canberra.  Manuka Oval's well protected from wind, but it's still cold.
