Watching the 2002 GF highlights. Jeeze the Pies team was top shelf - goes to show how good we were.

My favourite grand final moment was late in the 02 GF. When the goal was not kicked by Rocca. Yelling “sit down you gonzos it was a point” to the woods supporters in front of us. We were high up behind the goals. Hilarious, thrilling and a bit scary all at once.

 

[Tandy]

Good luck for tomorrow, I think most of us are with you.

Missed opportunity by the AFL not letting teams have goal songs IMO. Country Roads has become an iconic part of Australian sport. Should embrace it.

I was just wondering, would it be fair to say “THE LID IS OFF” or are we still keeping a lid on it?

It will also be interesting to see how early people go with this one.

I honestly don’t care what happens tomorrow, they can’t take away this week either way.

Notice how they don't play the 2003 GF... would still be giving Collingwood fans nightmares. At the event I went to in 2003, a few pies supports came dressed in gold jackets. By half time they were in the bin.

Any footage indicating Gunston will be a late in that you can upload and fail?

Listen, I’m not too proud to admit I’ve learnt some valuable lessons about my limitations ok

And it was absolutely freezing .

The lid was off when we made the grand final - I want to win it but considering where we were for a decade, I'm proud of the boys and we are in with a shot.

You are not on your own ,I have been emotional all week and Country Roads sung in the crowd gives me goosebumps .
Charlie must be so nervous .

 

[Aussie pie]

Good luck tomorrow.
I have been a John Denver fan all my life but as a pies supporter I feel very conflicted about tomorrow. We all know that you’ll country roads after a Charlie goal but after he’s 5th can you sing a different verse please.

You know you will sing it. Just embrace it!

Lol yes but quietly under my breath but don’t tell the Collingwood board mods or I might be banned.

Curious about how the MCG compares to the old Roman colosseum.

MCG 171m x 146m
Colosseum 189m x 156m

Capacity
MCG - 100k
Colosseum - 50k -80k depending on the source

wonder if the G will still be standing in 2000 years

Lions have never lost at the Colliseum.

That’s what I thought!
THE LID IS OFFICIALLY OFF!

I can’t help feeling that tomorrow we will release an unstoppable FOOTBALL TSUNAMI, backed by four years of Finals experience and big game ‘learnings’.

Our team is settled, strong, in form and I detect a steely resolve. WE ARE GOING TO MURDER COLLINGWOOD tomorrow.

On the way down from Sydney! Can’t remember being more excited for a game. GO LIONS!!!
