Mykonos is great we hired a couple of quads and went all over the island, got some good party beaches if you can put up with the crowds

Cheers mate. Yeah going with Busabout so we got all the parties and pub crawls every night! Plus heaps of activities included. Yeah ive been told by a few people to hire a quad and just explore the island!

Also in the League 8 H2H Grand Final this year, did not picture that after finishing 6th.

Just been to Santorini, but we loved it.

Went just before the end of the tourist season (would have been mid-late october), so a lot of the bars were shut down. Those that were open were generally happy to have your company and would give us free shots just for turning up and giving them business. This was 15 years ago so no doubt it has changed a lot since then.

Like Shanbon said, hire a bike and go exploring if you can, I expect that applies for all the islands.

Cheers Milch, I've been told to always go to the same bartender and tip them 5 Euro and I will get some strong drinks! The euro is so shit at the moment though.

Potentially headed that way next year so write me a list of recommendations on your journey!

There should be a travel thread in off topic where we can chuck up trip plans and tips etc

Get it started mate! I'm about to start the Argument Thread for Krumpet. I think that should be a Fantasy Section sub thread, but agree that the Travel thread should be in Off Topic.

Get it started mate!  I'm about to start the Argument Thread for Krumpet.  I think that should be a Fantasy Section sub thread, but agree that the Travel thread should be in Off Topic.

This was harder than I thought to set up and word correctly.  Would love a thread similar to the Draft thread where we can say what we wish and moderate it lightly, but it kind of goes against the spirit of the forum.  

The conclusion therefore is that everyone should join our Draft comps next year

Thought I'd post here that one of the forum member, @concussed has made it to the competition final of the Eliminator over at VSDT. The comp is straight H2H and starts with 4096 teams and Concussed has been going since round 12. If my math serves me right that means he's now won 11 H2H matches in a row with the big dance to come. Good luck mate!

doggies fans - your 2018 jersey is on sale for $60.

I heard the Dragons are having a fire sale on all their jerseys. They are fucking red hot after yesterdays performance.

Travel thread for anyone interested

AFL fantasy finished in a tie at the end of the season.

Victory came down to who registered first (they both registered on the same day)

Guy who ended up 2nd was last year's winner. That is amazing to back up 2 years in a row

Thanks man, looks like it's only Mediums and Smalls though.

Ponga has made an instagram post which could be read as to suggest he is playing this week.

After I sold him last week. Awesome.

Last TLT for the year coming up 5hrs away. A little bit sad really.

Warriors selling tickets for "pay what you want" (ie $5-$50) for Mannering's 300th game (and birthday) to sell the stadium out.

If it makes you feel better, they still name teams for finals games
