Hi

I've directed this to people in Melbourne, Australia only because I'm heading to the G tonight and I'm having dinner there (I usually have dinner somewhere before or I'm in one of the restaurants upstairs) and from what I've heard about food in the general admin area - it's not good (well I'm sure a pie and a beer are tasty but won't help me be healthy)! I asked my friend who I'm going with and she said yeah there's heaps of healthy food - like sumo salad :/

So I'm wondering - is there anything even moderately healthy or should I grab some rice paper rolls or soup or the like before I get there??

Thanks

    Hey Jess first of all you are sooo lucky you're going. I'm a massive Carlton supporter and was supposed to get tickets yesterday at training but they were sold out unless I wanted to stand with all the drunks- haha no way.

    Anyway, I think you should eat before. Sumo salads are good though. When I go to the footy, which is a lot, I eat dinner before I go and then take snacks like almonds and homemade muffins etc :-)

    I know tickets have sold out sooooo quickly. I have a friend who works at the AFL who had a spare ticket! I'm a collingwood supporter (don't hate me!) but I'm sure you guys have got it tonight. I even considered tipping the Blues in my footy tipping.

    That sounds like a good idea. I'll grab something earlier and take some snacks with me - I think that sounds like the safest bet.
    Thanks!!

    You lucky thing! I stupidly left it until the last minute. HAHA that's hilarious. You should wear a Carlton scarf too :-) My boys are looking pretty fit at the moment so I'm sure it will be a hell of a match, as it always is.
    Good luck! (with your food-not collingwood)

    Definately eat someting before, or even if you buy a subway roll or something to take in. We don't buy anything from the footy anymore, mostly because it's my little protest for the obscene prices.

    Oh, and Go Pies!!

    OMG it was a slaughter!! At least I don't have to feel guilty about planning my trip overseas for the end of September now....

    Carlton played good footy tonight - they deserved the win.
