Game Day Thread. Richmond Geelong final

[Baloo]

This match day thread will have the longest lead up to the first bounce. Until of course the prelim match day thread.

Well I'm absolutely pumped for the game!! Already in the MCC queue with a handful more diehards! Feels like the biggest game for 20 years or more.

how big are the MCC queues? because we are reliant on them to push this crowd towards 6 figures.

I was up at 5am trying to stay busy but I literally woke up thinking GAME DAY... I'm in Taipei and have a full day of meetings with a big presentation at 4.30pm (Melb time) with a MNC, then I'm literally straight home to have a beer to calm the nerves and hope my Global pass doesn't play up like it did a little last night...

I think part of the angst is this will right a few wrongs of the past should we win, I'm onboard and think we have a great chance in this game, I think if we play our natural game we can and should beat the cats..

Normally its us that is making changes because of the other team, this time its the cats..

Tigers by 18 points, Go Tigers!

 

[TigerMad]

Thanks.

I might aim for 6 as well.

What time do the gates open?

Was thinking get there early, then get a pass out and go to the Royal (assuming I can get back in without having to Queue up again).

What could go wrong? ...........

MCC queues still only 2-300 or so and Y&B dominant.

Feeling pretty calm here. Sun out in the north of Melbourne, wind is up a bit. I've just got a good feeling about tonight. The G will be rocking with tiger fans tonight. We've played in front of some huge crowds already this year. Crack in early and match them for intensity from the start. They will look to come out and knock us of our game. We've gotta be prepared for their early barrage. If we can match them early we will beat them. Our time is now Tigers, hunt in packs, attack like your lives depend on it. Leave nothing out there. This is our dung hill, this is our game, get out there and maul these pretentious, arrogant flogs Tiges!

as I said the other day, there is no such thing as passouts and haven't been for years. if you leave the stadium, you will have to scan your ticket out, then queue up again when you return.

MCC will be full.
Guest passes were reduced from 4 to 2 for MCC members for this game.
Have friends who is an MCC member who had to buy a dining package in MCC to get a ticket.

Need beer.

Just tucking into a couple now to quiet the nerves before we jump in the car for the two hour trip.

Might have to take it easy or tonight could become a bit of a blur!
(I'm not driving btw)
