Calm and collected here, like the other finals games this year. The boys have been playing a pressure type finals football for most of the year. Really looking forward to seeing the Tigers bring home our 11th Cup today. Enjoy everyone, it's been one hell of a ride this year, culminating today. Back our boys in. We're ready, this is our day. GO TIGERS!!!

The alarm was set to wake me up with the Holy Grail by H&C. Not sure why I thought I'd sleep.

Have a listen to that song. It has a lot more meaning today.

Feeling strangely calm and focussed. It has felt different all year and today is no exception. I have not allowed myself to get carried away with the hype. I'm enjoying it all immensely as are our boys. It will be a history making day for the Tigers today. It is different this time.

Collected my tickets (thanks Baloo). Now having a coffee in Bridge Rd. This place is absolutely buzzing.

I was nervous before the prelim too but bit more calm now, even excited. What a great day for us all.

Commiserations to everyone who couldn’t get a ticket. Hope you enjoy the day, whether with friends or family or just watching by yourself.

History says this 22 will never play together again. It could be their only chance to achieve something that lasts forever. Go the mighty Tigers!

Love some input from those at the ground how the crowd ratio is looking - seems to be lots of Crows supporters on tv....

A good start is important against the Crows.

Can't allow them to open us up in the first .

That will be their aim to silence our crowd & support.


We need to make this a Vic vs SA game. All non Crow supporters need to get on board the Tigga train as we all did last year for the Dogs vs the Swans.

Dusty in the midfield from the start. Don't fall into the Cats Danger final. Dusty in the middle.



What's the crowd like at the moment?

Adelaide are a great team with the best forward line in the league.

This will be tough, and if we can win, it will be a win for the ages.

I'm here in Virginia. Just took a ride up the Blue range to watch the sunset and got a shot of adrenaline when we passed the sign to Richmond. This is surreal.
