Game Day Thread. Richmond Geelong final

[BrisTiger24]

It's everything tonight, win and we're a good chance to win the big one, lose and it's probable straights sets exit.

I actually would fancy our chances if we were to line up against Sydney or Essendon next week. It's the following week that I think we would have no chance in and, in effect, the year becomes 1995 or 2001 all over again. Hopefully we wouldn't fall away again like we did in 1996 and 2002.

Looking at the finals draw, tonight is our Grand Final.

 

[spook]

Wow, I'm getting to the ground around 3.30 to line up for a good seat in the MCC (gates open at 5), but lining up already?! Wow.

I hope it stays dry, not sure the wet would favour us as much as people think, their bigger bodies and all.

Leysy, might see you at the London after we secure our seats. I'll be the tall bloke with the Tigers scarf.

The Tigers should treat it like that and go out with a 'no tomorrow' attitude.
If we can get the 4 points and no injuries... it's nirvana!

check ya PM's mate

 

[Mopsy]

Have never wanted something as much as this in my entire life.

 

[Rosy]

I'm off to the pub for lunch then Mum's Aged Care Home for happy hour later on Better pace myself or I'll conk out before the game. :spin

 

[Tiger Pops]

If we win tonight, I start strict diet for the rest of September. Im probably 14kg from what I should be and my wife is concerned that any increase anxiety and stress (the lift of a Richmond tragic) may lead me to a heart attack. I can literally feel my chest pump in games like GWS (away) Freo - Sydney - Bulldogs.... and even games like Collingwood, Melbourne and Essendon the games where alive with 10-15min to go.

So win tonight and onto the man shakes on Sunday.

I'm coming down from the Otways and don't get to many games. It's been a freezing week down here and I have been stuck in the house all week with an injured ankle. So to say I am looking forward to tonight is an understatement.

Does anyone have any idea how long it will take to get into the ground tonight. Should I aim at getting to the ground an hour before or will the lines be massive?

 

[tigersnake]

I reckon its safe to say the lines will be massive

:hihi

This is shaping into the best game day thread of all time

Loving the stories of tiger days across the world.

Im on the farm, 25 deg not a cloud in the sky.

Drank too much coffee and walking in circles

Off to an old tiger mates for tea and the game

If we win, driving to melbourne for the PF and a few beers with the cream of PRE.

Go tigers.

 

[Smoking Aces]

Biggest game in our recent history.

I was bloody calm until I read this thread. ;D

 

[Leysy Days]

Same. Knocking off at 3pm. Straight to pub from work to take the edge off the nerves.

MCG is suggesting that if you get there any later than 6:30 you risk missing the start of the game. We're aiming to get there at 6:00.

Is that not normal? I get that all the time!

 

[BetterTigers]

MCC lines starting to build ... still only 50-100 atm but I expect it to grow quickly after lunch. Loving the hum and the facts there's only 2-3 catters here drowning in yellow n black. ;D Get in there Tigre!'

 

[waiting]

Just got into the city to soak some atmosphere as the game time approaches before heading home to watch the game with family & hopefully some Tiger tragics like myself and others on PRE.

All I can say is gee it's a wonderful day for football.

A few clouds with the sun still out.

Less than 8 hours to go now. Countdown

 

[Fighting Fury]

On way into Mel now. Blue sky and scattered clouds. Pub lunch to ease the nerves.
It's all before us. Play our best and we win.

 

[JimJessTorp]

Got my Tiges t-shirt on, my Tiges windcheater on and my pre-game Tiges-are-playing-nerves on as well.

Heading home after work with a bottle-o stop on the way to get some quaffing scotch to calm my nerves.

Will be watching the CH7 shitty coverage and trying to avoid shouting at teh screen.

Wife and Daughter will prolly be up the other end of teh house trying to stay as far away from me as possible. I'm not that bad am I? Surely not.

Go Tiges - Get in there!!!

I might aim for 6 as well.
