Stoked for you Stell!

I still remember the first time I tried on a mate’s glasses for the first time. I had NO idea that my eyesight had deteriorated. We were at the footy, and I mentioned to the guys that I couldn’t read the smaller stuff up on the scoreboard. They were all surprised, and a mate of mine handed me his glasses and told me to try them on. My god it was the biggest shock. Everything came back into view. I couldn’t believe that I’d been walking around with no idea that I wasn’t seeing everything normally. I sat there with his glasses on, shaking my head in disbelief for about 30 minutes. As it tuned out, his glasses were pretty much the same prescription as I needed.

Saying that though, I never wear mine now. The only time I wear my glasses is if I’m driving at night in an area I’m not familiar with. I do have contacts, but I only wear them when I’m doing something like boarding, MTB riding, golfing etc.

Contacts? Do you usually board w/ glasses? thumbsup

I got my eyes lasered a few years back, so glad I did it.

you jumping on the bandwagon now, TJ? haha its okay, all are welcome!

Such a massive achievement from the guys. Against all the odds, they stuck together as a team and came through with the goods.

That game certainly put the idea to bed that a nil all draw can’t be exciting!

Just wishing I could have been home to go watch it at Parra and have gone to the airport tonight!

I started supporting them in the beginning. I saw them play a few games in their first season (before they were top of the table). By all means I’m not in the RBB but I’m definitely a fan.

I’m a SydneyFC fan since day 1, but glad the Wanderers won it, great for Aussie football and generating interest in our game. Plus WS are great for the Aleague and were a team that the league needed.

Having said that though - fuck the wanderers - Sydney is sky blue!!!

Sick! I didn’t know that - I’ll probably see you at a game when I’m home again in a few weeks!

Let us know when you’re going and I’ll join you guys (if cool). Me and a few of the guys plan to see more than a few games this year!

And I grew up in Campbelltown so WSW always sort of rang home (and I like soccer where as AFL is meh for me so GWS… eh)

I’ll be going to as many of the home games as I possibly can while we’re still living in Sydney at my mum’s (don’t actually know how long that will be).

Will tee something up if I can but sometimes I get in with Verity’s family connection tickets and I never know until not long before if I have one of those or not!
