Preview GRAND FINAL - Collingwood Magpies vs Brisbane Lions • Saturday 30 September 2023 • 2:30 PM • Melbourne Cricket Ground

[Nunez]

Our guys all looked relaxed.

Sure it's a GF and there are going to lots of nerves in the build up tomorrow but no hope of us getting overawed any more than the Pies players who face the same emotional pressures.

Nick Daicos looked like he was shitting himself.

Nick Daicos looked like he was shitting himself.

Imagine when he sees the ball between Rayner and himself.

 

[bato]

This is the craziest thing I’ve ever attended.

Massive headache at the end of the day.

 

[Grasshopper17]

Temperature has already smashed through today's expected maximum. Imagine if that happens tomorrow

Imagine when he sees the ball between Rayner and himself.

I’ve said to about 3 people now that Rayner is going to run straight through Daicos in the opening 15 minutes. Please happen.

Someone needs to because they'll be trying to run through a couple of ours.

 

[Grasshopper17]

Anyone stick around for the DMA's after the parade? Very decent live act. Heard them as I left and they sounded bang on as always.

 

[Viceregal]

Post teams ... well that doesn't look relaxing at all!

M.C.G. (VIC)

+2.1 pts

Just back from the parade. Went last year and stood in the same place. At least five times the number there this year. Surprisingly almost 50% Maroon, Blue and Gold.

Hats off to all Lions supporters who turned up.

Relaxed but not confident.

GO LIONS

I wonder when the last time a grand final was between two KPE captains.

Beats the old one of a one point Collingwood win

Deliberately stayed away today. Haven't even looked at my tickets yet. But looking forward to a big day tomorrow... preferably huge.

I wonder when the last time a grand final was between two KPE captains.

Spent a few minutes trying to work out what KPE stood for ... maybe their old school ... nope ... oh maybe you meant KPD (in which case it makes perfect sense!)

 

[Jackywats]

I was too young for the grand finals 20 years ago.. vaguely remember 03 and 04 but thats it. This week has been something special! I don't know how I am going to be feeling at 2:20 tomorrow afternoon!

And that’s after steamrolling over Degoey

If we win Jack should also get a medal IMO as he was crucial in us actually making the GF

 

[Kernel Kurtz]

Be warned its going to be hard to enjoy for you as a Brisbane Supporter, Collingwood will boo and drown anything out the MC tries to do for Brisbane.

Never heard good feedback about the experience when its Collingwood and you are there for ther other team.

Bring it on mate
I’d be disappointed if they didn’t
We will only sing country road even louder
Get the Lions chant going longer
Can’t wait
My heart rate is getting up there just posting this
And I’m not on the plane yet.
I hope you still got an old Lions scarf or something to wear
Make sure you wear it
See everyone down there

I'm in Melbourne, on a phone, with fat fingers.
