Honestly there’s rarely a time when there’s not some sort of chaos at Melbourne Airport. There’s always some sort of construction going on. The access to the airport is by one road in, one road out, and a whole lot of spaghetti in between.

What, you don't want another Miracle at the MCG?
Magnificence at the MCG?
If it goes like last week melodrama at the MCG?

Probably not that far off tbh. Rayner hasn’t really impacted the finals yet. Sure he kicked goals in week 1 but on a pretty low disposal number. Hopefully he can have a big game.
I'm happy for Rayner to have 5 disposals if he kicks 5 goals.

Week 1 doesn't count?
Just had a souvlaki plate at oakleigh … a few of the older Greeks noticed my lions scarf telling me that we will go all the way

Agree. But I still think Oscar is gonna be our barometer.

Can confirm PTV buses running on schedule from the airport to Broadie
This is it, in a nutshell. If we kick straight, we will win.
Big game for him today against a weak ruck opponent. Can't afford to lose around the ruck contests
Could be my heart talking. But just have a funny feeling we may win this one, and if we do, go all the way.
We obviously haven't played our best footy (consistently, at least) compared to previous campaigns.
But we have pretty consistently proved the doubters wrong throughout the season, built some belief/resilience that we can overcome adversity, and tend to think we quite like the underdog status with a little less weight of expectation.
So with that theme, this week, with Joey and Ash getting a lot of plaudits, Neale's fitness doubts and Rayner, Hipwood ,and Bailey rightfully coping a bit of a pasting; expect Joey to have a bit of an off night, Geelong to put a lot of time into Will, but two or 3 of the other guys to step up and have blinders.
If Cam and Eric can make an impact/kick straight early, get both their and the team's confidence up, we're off to the races.
Lions by 17 points. Take it to the bank, I think.

Just saw Geelong had an assistant coach collapse at the last training session and taken to hospital.
Not good.
Don't think it will be a good thing for his West Coast head coach application

There’s nothing more certain in life than this board collectively melting during any given play
Time into the game for first melt (individual or collective) prediction
Ummm....I'm saying 5.46 minute mark of the first
Anyone else want to play?

Weather forecast has not changed much from early in the week.

Attending my first MCG game since the grand final last year. I want to walk away from tonight as proud as that day.
Come on lads, time to avenge for 2020 and 2022

We’ll over correct
Will be feverishly checking scores while out for our meal..
Cheer loud and proud peeps, get that LIIIIOONS chant going from the first bounce so our boys know you are there.
Good luck to them and hope they give it every ounce of their talent to take them into next week. Do that and they win.
...oh and one teeny tiny detail, KICK THE DAMN BALL STRAIGHT THROUGH THE HIGH DIDDLE DIDDLE for a change please then it's job done!
No probs!
