At the moment no rain during the day Friday, sweeping in late in the evening and lots of rain (12mm) overnight. Really depends on exact timing of the change whether there will be rain during the game or not.

the way the forecasts are trending ,
They seem to be pushing it back later and later as we get closer,
Earlier in the week around game time it was 66 percent, it went to 45 , now it’s in the 20s, I’m guessing if we get any rain, it won’t be much at all
Gunna be hard to do as I am currently in Prague. I’ll be in Vienna on a prelim Final day and watching my cousins boy get hitched in Rome on Grand Final day.
What is wrong with these Italians? Do they not understand about Grand Finals? But to answer your question, Easy. I am feeling it this year. Much more upbeat than last year.
Little known fact. In 2017, I started writing my Grand Final piece in August. I had us playing and beating GWS. I later turned it into two pieces, one for GWS in the Prelim and used most of it for the GF. I was nowhere near as nervous on the day as I planned to be.
Last year I was planning for the worst.
This year I going to write a piece which will be more “Say yes to the dress” than “Will Brandon play?”

if we somehow defeat the cats (no certainty) I am 100% sure we will face the maggots in the GF. Whitfield is in hospital from what I am hearing.
If this jason recliner sept run continues for the *smile*, they'lle be playing Geelong without *smile* Dangerfield.
Interesting to see how Tom goes this time with Jack next to him and if any player would benefit from the post Round 23 bye plyus the week off post the qualifying final it would be Tom. We played the cats before the mid year bye and dare i say his body was hanging our for a rest, training 1 day a week at that stage too. The up the ground coverage too from Tom is miles ahead where it was in June/July. Not saying he will kick 6 but he is more than welcome do so
Can't wait to hear the noise from the Tiger Army Friday night - get the decibels up!
Absolutely. It’s time to go to the next level. TBH, I think as a whole our passion (ergo, loudness), has tempered somewhat since the 2017 flag. Maybe it was contentment after experiencing the ultimate post 37 barren years. However, the crowd intimidation factor needs to return with a vengeance on Fri night and hopefully into next week.
I assume that is member ticket sales.
AFL and MCC take up 40,000. A lot of neutrals in these areas and neither Rich or Geelong have big representations like Melbourne, Geelong or Essendon. I am thinking 15,000 richmond, 10,000 geelong, 15,000 neutral.
Probably another 10,000 neutral corporates.
So of the remaining 45,000, if 4: 1 then 36,000 richmond, 9,000 geelong.
So overall:
Richmond 51,000
Neutral 25,000
Geelong 24,000
Stand to be corrected but I think after the pies we have the 2nd highest amount of AFL members. .. which will ensure if us and them make it to the GF..... the biggest **** fight over ticketing ever before witnessed
SHOULD we make it - and those lucky to gave P1 (guarantee) Id love to know what my 4 (2 adult - 2 concession) would be worth to the highest bidder. A crows fan on the way into the GF offered me (as he did to many ) $2,000 in 2017. 4 tickets Tigers v Pies $10K plus? I wont be selling them either way should we make it
