I'm back! May 13, 2015, 08:51:57 pm On Friday morning I will be heading off for six weeks of outback touring. I am going with seven other blokes in five 4WDs and, after a fairly quick trip to Central Australia, we will be travelling the Gunbarrel Highway and then the Canning Stock Route before arriving in Broome on 8 June. Mrs DJC is flying to Broome and we'll drive back down the west coast to Perth. We will then take the Indian-Pacific back to Perth before driving the final leg back to Melbourne arriving back in early July. It's a little like the trip Cookie did last year but in the opposite direction.I won't have internet access for most of the time I will be away and I doubt whether I will get to see many games on TV - not that that will necessarily be a bad thing.I hope our footy team finds some direction while I'm away and I trust that our debates on the best way forward will continue. Perhaps the powers that be will take on some of the eminently sensible suggestions put forward by our posters Catch you all again in about six weeks Last Edit: June 10, 2015, 12:23:36 pm by DJC

Re: I'm out of here! Reply #4 – May 13, 2015, 09:00:18 pm More importantly than having a fun trip which it surely will be. Have a safe trip buddy. We will argue here on your behalf until you come back. Mick might not be here before you get back. Kidding buddy, cheers.

Re: I'm out of here! Reply #7 – May 13, 2015, 09:05:53 pm The jinx suggestion may not be too far off the mark. Our record was 3-1-4 when I was overseas last year

Re: I'm out of here! Reply #13 – May 13, 2015, 11:43:23 pm All the best DJ. Travel safe and hopefully you will arrive back to a CFC in far better shape than you left it.
Re: I'm out of here! Reply #14 – May 14, 2015, 05:44:38 pm All the best DJC. Stay safe and enjoy yourself. Keep an eye out for any budding AFL talent, and let us (and the club) know what you find. They need all the help they can get. Big Up !
