I know the people in Melbourne who are devastated at not being able to endure the terror of purchasing finals tickets,

won't mind me having a whinge,

that Geelong priority 3 members are snapping up their tix right now, after AFL members, Cats priority 1 and 2 got theirs,

while Richmond Priority 1 sit around looking at a countdown clock.

what's with that?

Does this mean that people from Geelong can travel to QLD?

Does each club have the same number and quality of seats available?
 
They may have put Richmond last in case there are leftover Geelong seats from their member allocation. Not sure how many members they have outside of Vic. Any leftovers won't last long if they make it to Richmond's Priority 3.

Same here, momentai. Some amazing highlights that day. Freddy Swift's mark, Royce's mark & KB's goal near the end. Great day
:D
I was there as well Quickdraw but don't remember it that well as I was a young boy but I do recall the joy from my Dad which is a great memory.

Watching the replay again over the years as you said it includes one of the most iconic Richmond moments ever which was Royce Hart's mark in the last quarter. One of the best marks in the game's history and to take it in a grand final was very special. I was going to say his mark over Peter Walker but the reality is it was pure leap.

8,000 each. Can't see either team getting to 8,000. 3,000 RFC members in QLD, 1,300 Geelol members in QLD. SA will probably produce some attendees but, even though WA can come into QLD, they need to hotel quarantine on the way back so that would deter a lot from there you would think.

They still have their allocation.
it’s so the system isn’t handling too many transactions at once.

I’m confident in the tigers winning due to our more recent GF experience.
However if we bring the same attitude as we took to beat port it will be ok.

not the attitude we had v Collingwood PF 2018.
 
Just watch the last quarter of the Sound the Alarm from the RFC website, gave me goose bumps.

After 2 Grand Final wins where it was all over by 3/4 time, I'm not sure I would cope with a close tight finish. But we're probably due one.
My memory of that game in 2017 doesn't include feeling like it was over at 3 quarter time :) . I was well and truly still in the "old Richmond" mindset

It’s sounding more and more like the pressure is all on them, and it is. We’ve got to do it for Danger and Junior, boys. Haven’t won one in almost a decade. We in the other hand have none of that crap, and just like in 17 and 19, we can go out there, enjoy the day and the experience and just give it our best. It’s starting to sound very like 19 where the media tried to convince everyone that GWS were the way to go because they had a great song (I’ve never liked it) and they were the new kids on the block. This year it’s all about Danger and Little Gary. Same *smile*, different team.

Yeah, same. But it was a fear that we'd drop our bundle, it never happened. A bit different to a close GF

We will never know, but I hope the club has a quiet word/enquiry with the umpiring team this week to highlight Hawkins pushing tactics.

Its dangerous, has already ended Soldos season and his 2021, and he does it regularly.

We don't have anything to lose. They can disregard it and ream us like every other week. Or they can penalise the prick.

Wonder if they're thinking of bringing in Ratagolea who seems to bother us when we play them.
