Game Day QF1 Geelong v Collingwood Sat Sept 3 2022, 435pm @ MCG

[CabWesty]

Confidence we have the class, experience and grit to get the job done today.
My Geelong mate, who is also an umpire in Qld, reckons Cats by 4 goals. I said 25 points, so we'll see who is closer.

Just got in the ground, place is buzzing but the coffee i just had has got the old bowels a bit anxious

Petracca to play next week with hairline fracture of a fibula. Good luck with that. I had one of those when skiing. I stopped skiing but wasn't too worried as I could still hobble around. Next night I tried dancing at a party and my leg gave way. I sat in the bathtub with the drinks for a while and headed to emergency later that night. First x-ray showed nothing then the expert arrived and ordered an x-ray form another angle and found a hairline fracture. I doubt Petracca will play next week.

Huge thanks!

Does a Scarlett 07 and goes the entire finals series without a goal against would be chefs kiss

 

[D BRIDGE]

Not even nervous.

I just expect us to be better and win... If we don't win it, we ain't as good as I had hoped.

Maybe if it was a do or die I'd be nervier.

Yep, that's a whole world of "oh, hell no!"
He could be gone in the first 30 seconds. First contact, first kick with that leg, first twist or pivot and it's game over sunshine.

I'm a bit nervous.....

Horse called Millane got up for 3rd at Moonee Valley which got me the trifecta which I thought was a bad omen but then I rationalised because it came 3rd thinking Collingwood will finish 3rd but then noted that Horse 4 won the race so maybe that means because they finished 4th they will finish 1st.

Think I need some valium

I think you need some dramatic montage music to focus

 

[DangerHere]

Collingwood shall not pass

I'm nervous but I've always been a nervous supporter (worse as a player), but I'm the same in that I feel no pressure with today.
Either we do what we should and win comfortably on the way to a Flag, or we lose, in which case we are done anyway.

I feel so sick

Just wait until we are 5 goals down at quarter time

 

[Reppie]

First time I've gone into watching a finals series without a fear of loss since 2017.

I really like omens + superstitions, good ones.

My Sapphie, 19yo, Blue Tortie Burmese, my Geelong Cats coloured pussycat

was put to sleep last week + she is now at home with us, in her blue + white Ginger Jar, with her Blue Tortie sister, Sisi

Please understand, I’m not posting for sympathy
I’m hoping my two Geelong Cats’ Torties bring our GFC enormous, winning fortune
