****s sake, I just want to go have a proper pub meal and drink some full strength beer. campaigners.

I am but am getting to the pub at 4.50

 

[schmuttt]

Took 30-40 min to get into the Richmond geelong game last year so I don’t think it’ll be quite THAT bad.

 

[demontim27]

I'll be waking up at 4.50am to watch this then heading to work immediately after to build a 200sq ft patio for some campaigner. Oath my mood will be dependent on the game.

I have to work at 5:30 the next day
7 clients back to back. They better hope Melbourne win

Just posted our preview on The Mongrel Punt. Hope it's ok to link here - understand if it's not.

Good luck Friday.

Solid write up.

Only note is that Garlett is unlikely to play for us - hasn't been in the team for a few weeks.

Pulled Razor Ray... he's a flog but at least its not Nicholls I guess, Nicholls seems to be an almost guaranteed loss for us.

Heads up:

MCG are advising people to get to the ground at 6.30 to ensure they don’t miss the bounce

Is that MCC on behalf of the MCC members, or MCC on behalf of the whole MCG?

Not fussed.

Razor has had a pretty decent year umpiring tbh

Sorry to intrude. Razor is ok but wow does he get sucked in with the drama and loves paying free kicks to the big names. Considering you're playing the holy trinity with the divine Razor Ray spirit watching of them....hmmmm Made things a lot tougher but I reckon you guys will still win.

May your game be adjudicated fairly and free of bias. Good luck.

Three massive sooks too though. Maybe he'll get sick of the lip.

Doubtful, his ego would see any lip from the trinity as friendly banter. Then he would reward his holy friends accordingly.

Lesser players would be seen as talking out of turn and punished accordingly.

Razor Ray is actually a pretty good umpire IMO, I'm fine with him doing our game.

 

[BG32]

Mollison is as good as the umpires get. Ray and Gus are best buddies

 

[LeverPuller]

Yeah I’m okay with this, if we got the WC-Pies team I would have screamed with rage

 

[Toump Ass]

Don't care who umpires it, if we're good enough (which we are) we should win regardless

You get an RDO every week?

5 day working weeks suck arse, no idea how people manage it. I like sleep too much for that s**t. Got plenty of other stuff going on in my life to keep me busy though!

No Hannan hurts our goalacoring options, poor selection if JKH keeps his spot over Hannan.

JKH is much better defensively. A lot more pressure on the ball carrier with him around.

Hannan isn't Garlett, he still chases and puts effort in. JKH has zero scoreboard impact...

 

[Bluelegs]

I'm arriving to line up in the mcc queue between 3-4.

I agree as mentioned above at least he's no Nichols. Nichols is universally hated because he pays the most obscure free kicks. If razor ray didn't have his antics you wouldn't notice him .

So, who remembers me mentioning I had an important meeting this Friday night?

Well it turns out that it has just been moved to Thursday. Great you say. Well no, I didn't bother getting tickets when they were released to members and now I am free to go but without a ticket. Looked up the GA and the only ones available are level 8 million, row zzzzz11.

Hello darkcouch my old friend, I've come to sit on you again.

 

[Crimson Azure]

And another thing, got an email from Netflix that the new season of Iron Fist drops Friday September 7.

The night we play our final.

My first thought: #IronFistedforever

Perhaps this omen will transmute into a good portent.

Just sit in the nose bleeds!!! Better than not at all surely?

Employment sounds awful

 

[Jamurp]

I'm starting to get more nervous about Friday, will genuinely struggle to concentrate at work on Friday. Aiming to get to the ground and get in line by 4:30-5.

I'm not sure I live in a world where we beat Geelong in a final, just hard to fathom given the dark days we've gone through, but we're well past those now, and I really feel that this group can do anything.

My hopeful prediction: Dees by 17.
