You know what to do friends.

If the boys are not overawed by the occasion, I think we win comfortably. The occasion is the big if though. We are simply a better team but do our boys believe that? If they do, we’ll be celebrating a flag this afternoon.

Your first line yes. Lets hope we can cope with the pressure and what this day will bring. getting ready to hit the train and into the game. Good luck all.

 

[Warwick]

Still worth a watch before a Collingwood game. Even for a GF. Thanks TBD

I really miss channel 10’s telecast.

 

[Checkered]

Bro I’m used to 1230 grannies over in the West. What the hell am I supposed to do waiting for 230?

 

[Gadzorks]

We owe the team respect for getting here - that respect should be that even if we lose (that's a big if, I think we've got this) we all stay to the bitter end.

We are part of the team, and the team sticks together.

I had a pretty big one last night and am now awake and excited and a tad dusty.

My flight leaves at 7:15 tomorrow morning and I have just realised daylight savings kicks in at 2am.. might need to push that return flight back a tad.

 

[Milux]

1 to go boys. Today is your day.

Yeah same. Little bit concerned that my phone isn’t gonna auto kick in the new time and surprise I’m an hour late

 

[PattyKwasagun]

Haven’t been this nervous since the morning of the 2013 NAB Cup GF.

Hope our boys can channel the legendary stories of Bewick, Green, and Patty K today.

The 9:15 leaving flights does look a tad more palatable now.. might be worth the change.

Go Lions - article in Bris Times this morning. 58,000 registered participants for club Aussie Rules this year (not including schools), Rugby League . . . 55,000.

Peter Dutton is wearing a Lions scarf at the GF breakfast.

I had to experience it so the rest of you do too.

 

[janty]

Kill or be killed.

 

[Thedeftouch]

I've somehow managed to find myself in Ballina today on family duties.... anyone know a good place here to watch the game?

 

[lionshine]

GO LIONS!

 

[bradee]

Good luck today guys,will be cheering hard for you

 

[rusty08]

GAME DAY!! Go you good things. So proud of this club.
Just seen the boys strolling the streets, as per yesterday, looking very relaxed.
Nervously confident today, if that's a thing?

 

[MacMum]

Good morning everyone..

I'm a bit concerned, I've woken up after a good nights sleep (so sure I wouldn't sleep) and I feel calm and relaxed

..is it because we are experiencing something we've only dreamt about, which in its self is unusual and therefor I too am feeling different?

It's a bit scary so fingers crossed it's a good sign.....mind you, it is only early in the day.

Whatever, that the boys have got this far is monumental in what is our history.......so no matter the results I feel so proud and happy for Fagan and what he has done for our club..

...and our boys? Well it's been a long hard road to get to this day so hope they go out and give it all they've got and then some, each and every one of them.....and guess what, if they do that they just might hold up that magnificent cup at the end of it all..

Sit back and enjoy whatever the day brings folks..

(I probably will feel different come game time. It's weird how I feel right now)

I’ve resigned myself to the fact that it’ll either be one of the best days of my life or worst which I really don’t want to think about occurring.

I think it’s the fact that Collingwood is the opposition has me feeling that way.

 

[Klink]

Pardon the intrusion, ladies and gents. Good luck today. This Victorian will be madly going for you. Always had a soft spot for you guys and I really believe your time is now. You deserve it after years of being right up there. Good luck and enjoy the day (and celebrations!).

Are any non neutral fans going for the pies?

 

[Pride of lions]

Dropped into a cafe in East Melbourne for breakfast and 7 or 8 of the team were in there having breakfast together.
Looked very relaxed

Hardwick, Clarkson and Chris Scott all tipping Brisbane

Scott nailed it pretty simply. If Brisbane bring their best they win. My worry is if we are slightly off there’s no coming back against this team.
