Very easy process; took all of two minutes from the moment of logging in, uploading codes and paying to confirmation.
Yeah in someways its actually way easier than getting other finals tickets. The ballot application is no stress and then you just get tickets (or moss out) without having to think or choose next week. Just have to make sure all the details are correct before it runs
 
Dunno if this has been commented on already but, after watching the replay, I’d say Gardiner’s game on Sunday was really commendable after being taken off King. He blocked so well for Harris. Nearly every time it came down there, he just cleverly got in the big forwards’ way and Harris drifted in to mark or spoil. It was selfless and strategic football. He’ll make the odd clanger but he’s a very smart defender and makes the most of what talent and physical presence he possesses.
 
Weirdly I think this will be an easier watch than the Suns game... meaning that even if we fall short to the scum I will still consider this year a success - with time - I think...

It felt like if we had gone out in straight sets, even with the mad draw and crazy injuries, the year would have been a waste. Now if we put up a decent showing on Saturday night I think our place as a major club is deserved. Seems unbelievable given how poor we were for so long.

We match up well on Collingwood I think. If Hill stays out that's a major boost. But like always it will depend more on us than them. If we turn up with endeavour and intent we win. If we don't mad Monday awaits it's that simple.

Lions by 9.

WE are in seats 10,11,12,13,14. I will have my old Fitzroy Clipsal Jacket on.
Haha we are in 8,9 Classic.
I will be there with my 91yr old Mother.

Our 87 year old mum usually attends with us as we are all members but she is in a walker now and bloody hard especially with a packed crowd, we had to make the decision for her 2 weeks ago and this week that we had to leave her at her aged care facility. Tough call but we were all at the collingwod game at the G and we were on the ground for the guard of honour and we were lucky enough to be able to get her down for that but its bloody hard. If we happen to make it to grand final day we want to take her but see what happens. Full credit to your Mum for her to still go to the footy.

It will be about who wins the big moments, which team has better big moment/X factor players?

Cam Rayner, Zac Bailey, Dayne Zorko, Will Ashcroft, Hugh McGluggage.... + hopefully Charlie Cameron.

V

Jordan De Goey, Steele Sidebottom, Scott Pendlebury, Nick Daicos, Jamie Elliott.
 
So all season long, if I've been confident before a game, we've lost. If I've been nervous and on fence at best we've won.

My daughter also pointed out, every game I've been to this season, including down the GC, we've lost.

... And?

I wonder if thats the better option; instead of Andrews coming off his man to intercept the main forward, Gardiner comes off his man to block the main forward freeing up Andrews to go for the footy

What about Membrey?, both he and Michocek did very little against the crows.
Couple of important midfield matchups, but for me the key matchup is Starc to take Jamie Elliott
Yep, Elliott and De Goey are the ones I would be worrying about, either of them could single-handedly turn the game in a 5 minute burst.

Back our midfield group to beat theirs but keep very close tabs on N.Davis.
 
Young Ian Hill not playing for the Pies awesome news.

I refuse to call him bobby his parents named him Ian
