Universal Love Grand final week general discussion - Opposition supporters welcome

[deeco]

why do you think Garry Lyon has spent the two weeks in quarantine in WA?

Is Kath going to present the cup to the other team?

 

[Jibroni]

2 weeks is going to feel like 7 years.

Beautiful display of football last night by the demons! Wanted to get down and support for the prelim as I’m based in Perth but tickets sold out.

If I can snag a granny ticket I’ll change my allegiance for a day to support and cheer on the dees just like back in 2000

 

[WCE Wizard]

Congratulations guys what a magnificent performance against Geelong made me smile and big maxi Gawn was outstanding what a lad. Enjoy these moments they are truly magnificent

 

[WCE Wizard]

I can't ******* believe we've made the GF after all this time and it's not at the MCG and we can't ******* go to the game. fu** this.

Well done guys enjoy

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

Who presents the cup to us if we win? Any way to sneak Ronald Dale into WA in time?

Gary Lyon you’d think but I’d love it if was possible for it to be Neale

 

[LeverPuller]

Gary Lyon you’d think but I’d love it if was possible for it to be Neale

I doubt he’s up to flying to be honest.

Suspect that the Daniher house and the Barassi house will be the first two stops for the cup if we win though.

Was at the game last night, masterclass from Gawn and the mids and the neutrals have all gone all in on the Dees!

A lot of 2017 Richmond about your side - half the team in career best form, with a healthy smattering of all Australians - this is your time

Does Biffinator still post around these parts? Surely he needs to roll out a preview for the big dance?!

 

[Gratees]

⁠Congratulations to all of you, You've done it so hard over the years. As a Richmond fan, I'm hoping that you boys can do what we did in 2017 and break the drought, it does so much for your club. I have a great uncle who passed away a few years back, and while it's heartbreaking that he never got to see this, he would be so proud of his beloved dees, One more to go, you can do it. ❤⁠⁠

 

[Punt Road Feral]

Congrats Dees fans.

You guys are playing a phenomenal brand of football and that third qtr demolition of the Cats was a sight to behold.
The trio of Petracca, Oliver and Viney is the perfect combination where they are all tough, get the hard ball and still have the polish to hurt teams by foot.

Really feel for Melbourne fans stuck in Victoria. If the same covid situation happened to us in 2017 I would certainly feel cheated after waiting so long and going through so many tough times in recent times.

Hope you guys get the job done for Neale in particular!

 

[The Goon]

Awesome display last night. Best of luck in the granny, and even if you can’t get to the game, most supporters can’t anyway. It’ll still feel great.

 

[Some Idiot]

That thing I said earlier in the year when I spoke about the 2013 bottom of the ladder clash and how good it was to see both teams turn it around. I'd like to reiterate that point.

 

[s_wd6]

Any melbourne based members willing to give away their barcodes so I can cheer you guys on? (need 2)

 

[Arkangel]

Really looking forward to playing the Dees in the granny. For family reasons, Melbourne has always been my second team; were you playing anyone but us, I'd be 100% behind you. Hoping for a cracking game, and may the best team win!

 

[Daemon]

Really happy the dogs won. Clearly the two best sides all year. Would have preferred to play Port tbh, but whoever wins will absolutely have no doubters to holding the title of best team this year.

 

[Dog 36]

Glad to join you all for the Grand Final.

Awesome for our city.

Hope you guys enjoy it like us and we all contribute to each other’s enjoyment.

Melb supporters wanting an extra for their mob on GF day please PM. Best mate is a Dee, have my beanie from the PF where I was cheering every Gawn goal.

Mate can only access one ticket for the GF so has to sit there on his own (amongst Dee's faithful, but cmon would be better with a mate next to him)

Happy to pay for the privilege.

 

[LittleG]

My best mates, are all Dogs & Dees fans. I am sure I will be shattered IF we lose but I will still celebrate with my mates for them finally winning one.

Hoping for a great game.

 

[Topkent]

Got me second Vax yesterday. Feel a little run down like a regular flu today and the arms bloody tender but all in all no worries.
Get em done campaigners

 

[MiguelM]

Hope you guys win the GF. Might be the last Neale Daniher gets to see.

A little unfair Dogs get a week off. I suppose all to do with quarantine?

Should be a fast exciting game but think Gawn might be the difference.

I think we all knew I'd be associated with needles on here at some point
