Preview 2019 Grand Final - Richmond vs GWS, Saturday 28th September, MCG.

[TigerTime_89]

Would your dad be well enough to go?

He past that now sadly. He is Bedridden and can't concentrate for to long. Thank you for asking.

Whatever decision you make will be the right one, just speak to your Dad about it and you'll know what to do.

Also Im sure all of us on here can help you if you need anything, not just footy related, just ask.

Thank you for your kind words. I won't be making my final decision until I see him tomorrow.

Stay with your dad champ, it’s time you won’t get again.

Definitely considering that.

Thank you all for your advice. Sorry I can't individually respond to each one. It's going to be tough either way. Lovely to know the support everyone has on this board.


Thank you for the lovely words. I did go in 2017, an was one of the best experiences of my life. Deep down, my opinion changes throughout the day. This morning, I was excited to go to the GF. I spoke to my Dad for five minutes this afternoon on the phone (Only as much as he can before getting tired) and then I was convinced of watching it with him but my opinion has shifted again. I am seeing him tomorrow (I live with my Mum) and hopefully we can discuss it more if he's awake and up to it.

I’ve had a tough year this year as both of my parents were put into a nursing home bc Mum was struck down with dementia in 2018 . Mum controlled the money in our household and if Richmond was in the GF she was happy to pay for tickets and travel to get there as she knew it was a once in a lifetime experience. I got to go 80 and 82 before we went into hiding for over three decades. I’m unable to thank her for the 80 experience as she’s in another world now, but you still have that opportunity. Sometimes knowledge experience and wisdom in our parents is taken for granted and not fully appreciated, so for me I would follow your fathers heart and words. I’ve learnt the hard way and was saved only by the fact we won in 17 so they could both see another Tiger flag. I’ll be visiting them tomorrow and I know Dad will be pumped that we’re in another GF.

So Davis comes off the field for nearly 20 mins gets his calf rubbed comes back into the ground and is moved to the forward line because he can’t run properly for rest of the game but he’s 100% fit to play ( in his own words )

How many AFL members are tigers? Is it possible they get priority for seats?

It’s just talk. He’s no where near it.

I have a (sort of) nice problem and I'm not sure what to do. I was hoping to get the help of everyone.

A very nice family member has offered me his seat at the Grand Final so I can attend with my Grandfather, (Otherwise he will go (Is a Geelong Supporter)). Now some of you know of my Dad's health (Was diagnosed with a large Glioblastoma tumour in early April). He is now bedridden and has been told he has days to live now for about three months. I am torn because I'm not sure whether to go to the GF or watch it with my Dad.

My Dad, who is a Tigers supporter, from what I can tell, wants me to go. He is sleeping 18 hours a day and there is no guarantee he will be well enough to watch it with me on Saturday. I'm not sure what to do. I have spoken to different people and they have told me to do different things. I have until tomorrow night to decide.

That's though mate. My father passed away with cancer 5 years ago. Whilst I was at the 2017 GF and was so pumped to be there, there was a little part of me that felt empty. I would give the world to have been able to watch the game with him.

I guess the question that needs to be asked Is I assume you were able to spend 2017 GF with him.

IMO if the year was 2017 I would say watch it with the old man but if you weren't able to share that moment with him stay home and watch it together even if he is asleep.

I like hyperfuzz's advice, if it's possible to only decide on the morning but you had mentioned you have to decide tomorrow? If you find yourself leaning towards watching with him at least you saw it two years ago. That's huge!! Best wishes mate.

Thank you for sharing the story, I know it's hard for some. I will be seeing him tomorrow so hopefully we is up to talking and we can talk in greater depth.

No, While I was at the game, he sadly wasn't there with me.

Yep, by tomorrow night. Thank you for the kind words and advice TigerBob.

I’ve got a tactical move that may free up Dusty and also draw Da boer away from centre bounces allowing Prestia and Cotchin some freedom in the middle, we could start Dusty at half forward or even on the wing.

Is Da boer likely to stay in the middle even if Dusty was on the wing?

 

[Yappie dribbles]

Isn't the giants like 4 wins from 19 games at the g

 

[Cotchy9]

Wonder if Clarko and Dimma will catch up for a dinner date this week. Hawthorn have accounted for GWS both times comfortably. Clarko can surely help out Dimma haha

 

[TimmytheTiger]

Like to thank Final Siren for keeping the nerves to a minimum this week. Only one team in the premiership quadrant on the live squiggle. Fear not!

Was thinking exactly the same thing today.

2 against Collingwood i think as well

My only worry for Saturday is our lapses in games lately , really just started happening a bit more once finals started .

Has happened pretty much every game of our win streak. Yet we win the game. Imagine if we don’t have them.

I actually think it’s just the opposition having their time in control which happens in every game.

Watch it with him

Yes I know there are ebbs and flows in games but like Lions final we actuslly should have been 6 goals down at 1/2 time and then we went asleep against cats to .

Seems to always be around the 5 minute mark to half way through the second. We pipe up just before the break and then play well second half. Wish we'd just play 2 second halves lol

Just play 4 quarters no lapses and we win , can’t do the lapses in GFs
