Love it Niall. This analogy is perfect.

"Akin to witnessing one of your best friends kiss the girl you secretly had a crush on in high school, you put on a brave face and pretend you're happy for them, at the same time trying to disguise multiple layers of heartache."

Thanks mate. The jealousy has been so full-on when other clubs enjoy their fairytales. Just hope we get our own in a few days!!!

Yeah agreed, that's value

 

[schmuttt]

Spargo $101

 

[ABray10]

Fritsch at $34, think if he is on and jags a few in a close game then could present as a match winner and Norm contender ala Gunston

at $151, you heard here first.

 

[netslave]

Trent Rivers at $151, you heard here first.

He suckered the bookies in with his previous games performance.

 

[The Dr]

So I live in regional Vic, and with restrictions easing, I can now go to a pub to watch the GF.

But, I’ve got no real social circle (we only moved here recently and have two young kids + lockdowns which has made socialising hard) …. anyway, should watch at the pub amongst strangers, or stick to my routine through this finals series of watching at home and enjoying group chats and video calls with my Dees mates in Melb?

Might meet some people at the pub? If you are looking to connect with some new people.

where is regional vic?

Should be 1000-1 given his finals series.

Ballarat.

I’m all for meeting new people but on GF day, after waiting so long to see us (hopefully) win a flag, I think it could feel weird being with strangers! I’ll probably make a last-minute call on the day.

Watch the game at home and go to the pub to celebrate the win imo.

That’s a great call actually

[pjfairbairn]

I will watch at home with my wife and then catch a cab ten mins down the road to see my old man if we win

 

[netslave]

I finally get to go to bed with a smile on my face and a weight lifted off my shoulders, thank you, you magnificent bastards.
Had planned to watch a Dees flag with my old man, unfortunately never got the chance but I'm sure he's up there somewhere with a big grin plastered across his face.
How about we do this all again next year?

 

[pjfairbairn]

Here's a crazy thing to consider:

The following players could have (age wise) been involved in an alternate universe. And yes, you'll all likely say that they wouldn't have made the team, but a couple of these guys at their best could have been in it I believe...

Not to mention Frawley, Howe, Hannan, Kent

There is an alternative universe where Jurrah manages to make it in Vic and survives the shit to go on to become an all time great where he retires after this GF a premiership player.

Trenners the obvious one there.

Scully aswell, someone like Hogan who left to get on the drugs with his mates absolutely blew it

Did you see Jack Watts instagram post saying thank God he got traded for Bayley Fritsch because that's six goals less in the grand final something like that.

Yeah Wattsy was a big miss on this list. Loved seeing Trenners at the ground, and Grimesy in the past player video

Yeah he's red and blue, good seeing former players and their love for the club even if they were jolted off. Would think woewodin would have been bitter but just loves the club. On woewodin he still looks young as if it's 2006.
