As if we needed more incentive to win

An icon of Melbourne, this is the Royal Richmond the last time a Grand Final was played between the Swans and the Lions.

Punt Road looks a lot more chill than what it is today.

Traffic probably moved faster too.

 

[Section 5]

I do think we have more offensive weapons, if we at least break even in the midfield I think the likes of Joe, Charlie, Cam, Zac, Kai, Cal will get enough opportunities to kick enough goals for us to win.

The issue is still playing 2 and a bit good quarters and getting the job done most of the time.
Will find out in a few days' time if we are the better team on the day.

Mills won't return for Sydney on Saturday.

Mills won't return for Sydney on Saturday.

What a farce....he did the recovery, went through the process, appeared on camera during and following the session to proclaim he trained at 100% and felt great.....

....and the coaches still ruled him out.

Sorry, but the whole thing has been handled in such a ham-fisted way that I again wonder what message it is sending to the team and why so much energy has been expended.

 

[Section 5]

Last years GF team below.
Missing from last year: McInerney, Gardiner, McCarthy, Robertson, Coleman, Lyons (sub).

I don't get why Sydney aren't just made to forfeit after this debacle.

Yuck, Nick Foot... & a quick search of Sydney's board uncovered no real mentions of him besides when he gets umpiring assignments for their games. I've generally had no problem with Stevic & Fleer is one I've never noticed enough to have an opinion on (but found some negative Sydney board comments)... Let's hope that's one for them and one for us.

Sorry to interrupt… with the girls playing the Crows at Springfield on Sunday afternoon, will the Lions be planning anything out there or likely to hold at the Gabba? (Good luck for the Granny!)

There will be a planned event at Brunswick at oval on Sunday.
Anything in Brisbane would likely be on the Monday.

Umpires from our Geelong game PF

 

[McIvor]

Simon Meredith is the best by far for mine. Just a really level headed ump with no ego unlike Stevic and Williamson who are utter ego maniacs.

Was this the club arranged march? Surely not roar deal?!

It started out from Fed Square with the Roar Deal crowd maybe 100 strong, it just seemed to pick up fellow supporters as we went along.
