[Coona Blues]

5 layers of tops, opaque stocking, jeans, gloves, beanie and poncho. Hope that's enough layers

Hmmm. Sitting here in lightweight navy shorts and Blues “training top” waiting patiently. May be forced to some lightweight trackies later in the evening, although expecting a fair supply of my local Bundaberg brew may warm me a little.

Enjoy the game day experience my friend.

 

[Zlatan]

Feeling very real now.

Boy if the Swans kick the first couple of goals there will be a hush and a queasy feeling.......hope the boys don't lose their composure though if that happens (like the crowd definitely will).

Heard on one of the footy shows that Sydney are really struggling to run out games, especially 4th quarters.

Bashing them up in the contest nice and early in a physical game will do them no favours.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Oh and hotel has a heated pool and jacuzzi that we are planning to use when we get back from the match

Not the ice bath!

If you love your Rum then you must try this!!!!

What’s the rationale of having marchbank in the side?

I don’t mind him as a player but I was a little surprised.

1) he’s been rusty and

2) do we need another med tall defender?

Docherty will play mid. Marchy is 7th defender

 

[lily of laguna]

Just arrived in Melbourne. Hardly Arctic, bit breezy and drizzly but no worse than a normal winter day. 10 degrees. Am I missing something?

Spectacles, wallet and watch?

Stand outside long enough, something could go missing!

[BIuebagger]

It’s only light rain on radar, heavy rain should miss us.

 

[Beer n Skittles]

And did I read here that mcg drains well?

Hopefully it wont be a slogfest

It drains well but the ball is still going to get wet and heavy. I'm expecting a bit of a slog, reckon that favours us though so I'll take it

 

[Accidental genius]

Docherty will play mid. Marchy is 7th defender

Who will drive off HB?

No Boyd/fisher.

Saar has speed but is m not sure he is best player to create something off HB.

Fish was good but doesn’t have the required level of physicality imo.

Boyd good but he’s been out for a while.

Cinc/kemp both have a bit of speed so good options.

 

[Michael Jezz]

Super excited.....I am just going to enjoy tonight

No place for heroes. Feels like 7 and heading south fast.

Haven't been this excited since they introduced the family size fruitnnut.

No hipflask???

No claims to be more “Highbrow” but may have a taste at some stage.

No hips....

In all my years of going to the footy (almost 3 decades) the 1995 State of Origin game (EJ Whitten Lap) was the coldest game I have ever been to (and I was a veteran of many trips to the old girl in the East VFL/Waverley Park)

I don't know if it's a global warming thing or I have reached middle aged grump man status, but today honestly seems colder than any of those occasions I mentioned (and Waverley Park was a Tundra !)

Eddie's idea of putting a roof over the G seems a tad appealing right now lol

Anyhow good luck to everyone lucky enough to go tonight, let's do this Baggers !

Always cooler/windier down Peninsular way. But I still wouldn't fancy landing in this weather!

[Sin City]

Surely we keep the inside midfielder as the sub, that’s one thing that’s worked for us ever since we started doing it. It’s gotta be Dow!

 

[myblueroan]

Is it raining there and 4 feet of snow?

Yep. Almost there.
Me and a few mates on outskirts of Richmond now.
Can't wait! That sou-wester blowing strong.
Where's the meetup?

 

[Coona Blues]

Cincotta and Saad to drive off half back

Half expecting a “change up” for Kempy tonight. Think Marchy May free him up somewhat to explore his “creative side”.
