Jealous.
I have still never been to the MCG.

My wife and I went to a game at the MCG back in 2011 while we down in Melbourne and were seated (inadvertently) about 10m from the edge of the Richmond cheer squad. My wife ended up hoping the Tigers would win (they did) as she wasn't sure we would get out alive if they lost. Didn't help that she doesn't like football of course!!!

 

[Jackywats]

It will be my first time in the mcc area - managed to snag a guest seat. very keen. Go lions!!

. I think we are winning the mind games. They will be petrified. This one post could break their confidence. Camel’s back and all.

On the other hand they will be so relieved when he is not named.

Then the Hubris will kick in. We win either way.

Can one of you smart whippersnappers help an old man as to why all of Dalions insta posts look like this for me?

Me either

 

[Lockie]

Yeh back at the G for a game after what seems like years with COVID lockdowns etc. Nervous but really looking forward to the game. Is also Melbourne‘s Breast Cancer Charity game.

Open training at the G at 2pm Wednesday so hope to get to that. Fitzroy/Brisbane historical society has its first open day in three years on Sunday from 11-1pm so will be going to that as well. Cannot wait!

I’m tipping some of this.

First time for me was the best time.

2003 GF

Just about the best day of my life.

2003 GF

Just about the best day of my life.

For me it was 2001.

I'd been waiting since I was a toddler with my Fitzroy beanie in 1962.

And we thrashed supposedly the best team of all time. The next day at Brunswick Street was truly memorable.

I don't think we're too far away again. From here it's the ability to get the 2 home finals and luck with injuries. We don't have the array of stars we had in hindsight in 2001 but we're more even and more disciplined imo. Which you need to be the way the game has changed.

 

[McIvor]

Has something been announced in the media saying Zorko is unavailable? If so, I haven't heard.

From all reports, he is pretty good to go. A fitness test maybe early Thursday morning to be 100% sure.

Thanks for the tip Jed.

Same - we're trying to save for the GF if we re fortunate enough to get in

 

[McIvor]

I hope the team can celebrate Harris 150th just like they were able to for Dan last week.

 

[3KZ is Football]

I went to that game

I was at home with a twisted ankle. I had to listen on the wireless.

That would be a nice percentage booster!

And as an added bonus the footy shows would be able to devote a great deal of time to what happened to the Demons when they played whoever it was they played but jeez they were brave...

I am home on crutches with a dodgey achillies so will miss Thursday night but was out at Waverley to see that Demon slaughter yrs ago.
