Preview Geelong v Richmond 2020 Grand Final Sat Oct 24 @ Gabba

[Footy_Fan2007]

I thought that was great to see. I was sure they were going to have a closed session.

Seems far more relaxed this year

I wonder what’s changed?

 

[frggr]

I wonder what’s changed?

Maybe there were some frank discussions after last season. Danger's changed too (in gamestyle more than anything), Guthrie etc stepped up. It can't be coincidental

 

[frggr]

LOL they'll probably come out after Saturday and at "Oh yeah we used those blokes Adelaide used a few years back at that camp. Worked wonders! 10/10 would recommend"

 

[Gavin Excell]

Geelong were favourites for 2009 and 2011?

Yes weve been favourites all our GFs since 2007

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

Yes weve been favourites all our GFs since 2007

Yep. 2011 was close as we opened a minor underdog, but the money came and we were favourite at the bounce.

 

[Scottland2007]

Its all good he just got on the beers a bit too much last night to celebrate the Cameron announcement, should sober up by Saturday night.

Great, he’s got Budweiser-19!

 

[Gavin Excell]

Yep. 2011 was close as we opened a minor underdog, but the money came and we were favourite at the bounce.

Actually money for Geelong today tightening the market $2 v Tigers $1.90

Doubt we start fave but shows lot of dispassionate support for Cats

It’s almost like Danger has been told to step
aside and let these other guys step up.

Anyone else concerned about the forecast of thunderstorms and rain? Doesn’t really suit our style of play.

Been monitoring this like Mike Larkins on steroids, haha.

Has changed from 70% chance, to 60% chance to now 30% chance of rain. Originally was also 0-6mm, now it's only 0-1mm. Looks like it'll just miss, and hit on Sunday instead. Even if it does, it's only 1mm, and won't be 'thunderstorms' like they were predicting.

Will be hot and slightly dewy though, so we'll have to actually be really careful about slipping over, and not playing into their turnover game

Definitely a lot more positive about this aspect than I was at the start of the week

is a ‘bewdifull’ story, so much so that even Ralf (Hun) told his story. The simarlarities between father + son: “EVERY INCH! His son is the whole bit!” Whately was so eloquent, lyrical + utterly crapped all over Robbo’s Balta attempt. Balta? Balta, who?”

That was NAUSEATING. The best part was later when they said that Balta would have to have Grimes help out on Hawkins or whether Astbury should start on Hawkins to 'ease' Balta into it

I’m not up to that yet, had to throw up, swallow a bottle of Maxalon + wait for the nausea to subside! Vaytink! Vaytink! Vaytink!

Bloody good read!

Who else hasn't had much time to think about the game?

Loving being uber busy at work this week

Brilliant. Just brilliant.

There are undoubtedly so many stories that will never be told about the Ablett family. But the sense in which their sporting genius both elevated their adulation while simultaneously eviscerating their humanity is just profound.

Saturday closes a chapter in football history that we will surely never see the likes of again. I can only hope that we will be witness to the most fitting way possible for the legacy left by the Ablett clan to come to a truly glorious conclusion on the biggest stage the game has to offer.

Gary, your moment awaits...

OMG!!! Selwood: “It’s something I dream about.”

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Just wondering, year of the cat if you’re taking the Flogmond boys for a Kebab on Friday night?

 

[Grimoz]

Great, he’s got Budweiser-19!

Nah it will be that horse piss XXXX-19

 

[JohnZ]

Having watched Rd6 2007, I think it would be a rather fitting bookend if we thumped these pretenders.

 

[MacStradbroke]

Yep. 2011 was close as we opened a minor underdog, but the money came and we were favourite at the bounce.

Didn’t Pies only lose to one team in 20011? Us 4 times!

You got the right person? Not sure what you mean HK?
