Remember last week, when we were hopeful but mostly doubtful? Now this week, there are doubts but mostly hope

Hoping that we win won't change the outcome
I've hoped we'd win every game of the season & we're into the second week of the finals

So we must be doing something right

Of course you're right but I'm like the guy who is wearing the same jocks as last week! Very superstitious.

So, a ticketing question....

I didn't think I'd be able to go (wife had a prior commitment and society doesn't look too kindly on leaving a 2 and 4 year old on their own, unfortunately), but as of about an hour ago now I can. Result.

Just went to ticketek and when I try to select any ticket type it's adding about $100 to the price (category 5 should be $63 with handling fee, but is now $175).

Is this normal on game day for a final? Will it be the same if I rock up to the box office tonight?

I'd really like to be there, but nearly $200 for a pretty ordinary ticket is a little steep.

It's gotta be your computer mate. I just tried and getting correct pricing

Hodge is a dirty sniper, Mitchell is overrated, free kick Hawthorn. And you're a **** because you go for them.

Sorry , which bit should offend me ...

That isn't too bad if you've washed them since then

If you haven't then you should go sit amongst the Hawks supporters

Well, bigfooty says you're a halfback dasher, a norm smith medalist and you go for Hawthorn. You aren't fooling anyone with your pseudonym Hodgey The parts where he called you a sniper and a **** were probably intended to cause offence.

Not sure if it was, or a bug with Ticketek - but yes, got it sorted in the last hour so

Just need to get through another two hours of work before jumping the train. Come on dogs, let's do this.

Few people are saying we might struggle to run out the game, but I disagree. Last time we played we dominated in the 3rd quarter. I expect tonight's game to be quite similar.

I hate making predictions because I don't want to jinx the game though. Wish it were here already.

 

[amnesiac]

Let's end Hawthorn's dynasty tonight.

Go Dogs! See you there, loud and proud.

Can get the bont 30 and a goal tonight for $8 on william hill

That pic needs to be relived with Dal and Sicily.

Last time we played we started at quarter time, letting them kick the first 5 goals.

We lost.

None of the above will happen again this evening.

Thats the key. Don't get blown out early. We can hang with them and grind them down if we avoid that this time.

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

I think we can. I know we can. But I don't think we will. The pessimistic bulldog in me that remembers all the heartache just keeps reminding me that we can't.

I'm actually worried they might jump is again - player nerves? Hope they have more strength in that area than me. Nervous!

Nothing we can do now. Talk shit, wear your lucky jocks, bet big or play it humble. Makes no difference.

Enjoy the ride.

 

[Struggle]

We have to kick straight. If we do that early and bring the pressure of last week I can see us blowing this game apart.

 

[Ghenghis]

Are we there yet??????

 

[lateniter]

In '61 two teams met at the MCG in September with the victor on that day going on to be arguably the most successful team over the next 55 years and the loser yet to return to that stage. it is now'16 and the two same teams meet in a do or die final.... '61.....'16 Will we see a reversal of fortunes and the Dogs go onto bigger things...

It was that fateful day in 1961 that I started barracking for the Dogs.
55 years is a long time to wait for revenge, but tonight's the night!
