Time to stop by and wish you guys all the best for tomorrow.

We of course had the pleasure of being belted senseless by you guys in the Qualifying Final, then doubled up to be equally violated by Adelaide. At least our fans have been gracious and didn't complain about silly things like where the game was played or opposition supporters (I don't know which was more embarrassing).

To the game. Have to be honest and say I still tip Adelaide. Juuuuuust.

But......if you guys bring the same level of pressure that you have, that manic intensity, you're every chance. Cotchin is becoming one of my favourite non-Geelong players in the competition. His transformation from a good player (and he was always good) into this ungodly force of steely inspiration and class has been incredible.

Family member and friends attending tomorrow. I'm hoping to get obscenely drunk afterwards and forget that Chris Scott is our coach for two more years.

Good luck.

anyone else already sinking preparation beers
Yep and sparing a long sad thought to those wonderful Tiger supporters I knew that couldn't last life's long distance to see this one.
Uncle Keith, Uncle Bluey and Gustiger, you were great Tigers through and through.
Hope the boys can get up tomorrow and win this for all of you.
Cheers

Don't think I have ever seen a club under as much scrutiny and in turn players look so cooked prior to a GF.
I hope with every inch be get up but to do so would be an absolute miracle.
The players look completely spent/ cooked and as such it won't surprise me if the crows win by a record margin.

In recent history (maybe longer), that would have to be the least amount of games played before playing in a GF?

4 games and he's 19.
This bloke! Unbelievable, but entirely true story.

"In 1920, Bill James played his debut game in a winning grand final for Richmond. He even kicked the winning goal.

This would end up being the only VFL game of his career. He's the only player in history to play his only game in a grand final.

He was shot in the foot while rabbit hunting in the offseason, which is the reason for him not playing again."

I don't even think we will even bother to play. I think we will just let Adelaide win by default.

Did the rabbit support Collingwood?

Just catching the press conference from today. Surprised I haven't seen any mention of the last question.

Someone asked about how Mrs Hardwick had handled the week. The response was:

"She's had a good week, Mrs Hardwick and I'm putting that one to bed today."

Sounds like Dimma will be nice and relaxed tomorrow morning.

Man, how good would it be to be playing a Grand Final tomorrow and getting to sleep in your own bed.

Everything would just feel normal. Your pillow. The hardness of your bed. Your sheets. The background noise.

You'd have your bae in your arms.

And the coach in the other room.
