Grand Final 2020 Thread Richmond Vs Geelong / Game Day Thread

if we win the great 2020 flag, replace it with a gold one with a black pearl diagonal inlay.
Reported by Mark Stevens that the GF umps will be Stevic, Meredith, Fleer. Last one is a concern, thought he was diabolical in the Geelong game.
No gig for Ryan (our best results ump) or Deboy (paid the Lambert free).

My mate in Perth makes false teeth - I might hit him up. (He’s a rampant Collingwood supporter which provides no end of amusement)
Yet we have proved we can play at the AO in poor conditions and win which is something the Cats failed to do a couple of weeks ago. The Gabba should hold no fear for us as the size is similar to the MCG and our recent loss there was because of no Lynch and Chol underperforming plus rustiness in returning players who proved their worth last Friday. The Cats should be worried as our Gabba record is pretty good as well
Funnily enough ezy I think the Gabba could give them cause for a bit of optimism. We've played there 3 times this year; the 2 wins against Swans and GC were terrible games and we got done by the Lions. In spite of our previous excellent record at the Gabba we've played much better at Metricon this year. Still 3 games is a small sample size and whilst it may give the Cats a bit of false boost it won't be the difference between winning and losing for us. We play near our best we'll be too good for them.
No excuses.
I was at the swans debacle.
nothing to do with the dimensions.
they flooded and tried not to lose by 10 goals.
I actually reckon Dimma elevated his sportsmanship to virtuoso level this final series, picking Metricon for the semi and giving the impression Gabba hold fears.
Cats are clutching at Straws. They are going to need to get real purchased on 22 straws simultaneously.
As ive alluded to, Im playing this week from the heart.
and its bursting with optimism.
Geelong will be desperate for it not to rain. It if rains its goodnight Irene for them. Their whole chip chip slow crappy gameplan will be completely undone by rain and will just ramp up the pressure that we will put on them which they have struggled with in the past.
Geelong are fooling themselves with a false sense of confidence regarding their record at the Gabba.
Someone should remind them that until the QF, we were unbeaten at the Gabba for over a decade.
Let them have all the spotlight and love fest in the media this week. It was the same narrative in 2017 and 2019.
As others have said, this is 1974 revisited.
If the Tigers come out and play hard, relentless and disciplined football, we win by 4-5 goals!

Cheers Sin.
My greatest memory is the stress in the last quarter and Swift's mark. The neighbour that used to take me to the footy was swallowing heart pills like there's no tomorrow!
I feel very blessed to have seen our premiership wins from '67.
In case Dusty needed a little dose of incentive for the GF...

"Martin, a dual winner of the best finals player (2017 and 2019), received the maximum 10 votes from rival coaches Damien Hardwick (Richmond) and Ken Hinkley (Port Adelaide) after finishing the match with a team-high 21 disposals and two crucial goals in the low-scoring, tight, tough contest.
He now has 18 votes in this year’s finals series, which is one behind the leader, Geelong star Mitch Duncan."
Dusty surges in Ayres Award

So Duncan will win the medal. Scott will give the 5 votes guaranteeing Duncan the win no matter what happens. Unless the Grad Final votes are given by someone else.
Yes, this worries me. Cats are bound to get a couple of easy goals from Hawkins ruck pushing.
He didn't do that last time we pantsed them round 17.
