Game Day Grand Final Matchday Thread

[The Royal Sampler]

May as well lob one up.

Rain is pouring down in Brisbane, enough to cause delays to races being run at Doomben. Presumably this is yet another divine intervention in Richmond’s favour?

Go Cats. Much prefer they go to 10 than Richmond to 13.

 

[Soups]

Go Cats.

I'm interested because it's two good teams, but doesn't feel like a grand final.

Dunno who to root for.

 

[FireKrakouer]

Geez you can tell there's a depressed vibe on this board, I was waiting for a GF thread.

I hate Geelong but c'mon cats, don't let those bandwagon Tiger flogs get bigger heads then they already have.

I saw Geelong winning the Premiership but just like last week against Port a wet ground will aid Richmond and force me to change my tip for the Grand Final tonight.

 

[ottoman]

If Richmond wins I'm going to go and French kiss someone with Covid in the hope that it takes my life.

3 flags in 4 years while we have 2 in 60 odd years.
That will be too much for me to handle.

Anyone else bored senseless waiting for the game to start? What does one do all day when the grand final is at night?

This. I also wonder how the players manage it, in terms of conserving energy, minimising anxiety, meals etc.

Leaning this way. Broke uni student though so may have to pick myself up a goon sack.

 

[Anzacday]

That’s bloody stupid Otto.
I’d rather drink than endlessly fill my glass

I often think this about night games. I've had night exams before and I hate them because you spend all day just kind of waiting. Don't want to overwork yourself or overthink it through the day.

Grand Final in late October at night at the Gabba?No grand final parade,no crowds at the training sessions.It doesn’t feel like the Grand Final to me this year.Hopefully things will get back to normal next year.

 

[JB1975]

May the best team Geelong win.

Please.

Ta.

 

[unplugged]

I expect Richmond to win but I hope Geelong wins.

Reasons: Geelong have won less over-all. Geelong haven't won since 2011 and Richmond have had (lots of) recent success. And lastly, because if Richmond wins our second rounder goes back a selection.

Not going to watch as no interest.
Its going to pelt down rain tho.

So, game in the balance in the last quarter and lightning starts striking in the area. I assume the teams will need to leave the ground until it's gone?

Am going to a GF party at my sister’s

Have been sent pics

My little nieces have their faces painted yellow and black

There are balloons and streamers everywhere

Framed Weg posters prominent

Brother-in-law, lovely guy, is mad keen Tiger

I hate the Cats

But want them to smash Richmond and make the party like a funeral

Hugs xx

In that instance the game and the premiership get awarded to Collingwood. It’s in the bylaws...

 

[Doc1763]

I hope it pisses down for the entire game.

Let the Richmond fans play kick to kick during the break of play

Ray Drummond should sponsor the event

Every Tiger fan gets a 3-iron

 

[Aucklander]

Pity about the weather. Definitely doesn't feel like GF day. I'm going for Geelong for my kids and that's about it.
