State of Origin SERIES XVIII - GRAND FINAL - ALLIES V VIC METRO - Bellerive Oval (incl. MVP pg 11)

[Pugsley]

I was good yesterday, right? ( sorry - just channelling my inner okeydoke7.....)

I thought you were going to kick 20.

I thought you were going to kick 20.

If my aim wasn't as crooked as an ex SFA admin, I would have!!!

 

[The Majestic]

This is my first grand final, so I am looking forward to it. Good to be in my home state of Tasmania to play it too.

Many memories at Bellerive Oval over the years, some good, some not. So it's going to be good.

 

[The Majestic]

Imagine how strong a position Vic Metro would be in if people wised up not to take on Filth.

You'd still have sportsmaniac89 playing for you.

I could always try and entice him back and all.

 

[cooney]

Fire up

 

[Sun Ra]

Bellerive Oval ? WTF ? I'm wearing my thermals in this one.

Bellerive Oval ? WTF ? I'm wearing my thermals in this one.

Looking out my window, it might be a good idea.

 

[The Majestic]

Fire up

The Allies will, thanks for your suggestion.

Bellerive Oval ? WTF ? I'm wearing my thermals in this one.

I thought they were upgrading that shithole? At least it'll be marginally warmer than Canberra I guess.

 

[spudmaster]

How the * did we make the grand final?

You had us playing the smart game all along. Let the other teams fall over themselves and casually cruise through to the finish line.

With any luck, the close-one against the Counts will have us primed for this match, whereas the Allies will likely be slow out of the blocks after their week off.

Totally agree Spud - that last game felt like a training run. I think NaturalDisaster has us primed for this game like the trainer of Fine Cotton.

 

[Sun Ra]

When I am admin, I will scrap the EKA and officially replace it with the rising star

You have my vote, if I have one.

 

[Blaze Storm]

Allies again.

 

[damicky]

If we were to pick an international venue to host this game. Will Vic Metro forfeit due to homesickness an hour into the flight?

They might still forfeit due to being asked to travel overseas

I actually did it for ShaunDuggan

Allies to forfeit ? I suppose VIC Metro will take that. spudmaster - we can always go and have a look at MONA ?

As long as it isn't played in the morning (was -4 at 8am this morning) then I think it would be warmer here than in Holebart!

Can you read?

Vic Metro are the ones that don’t like leaving Melbourne

 

[James Colorado]

Great plan Sunny, but we all know how this ends. No funds to get it done and disappointment.

Incorrect Ding, there's a bottomless well of money when it comes to benefiting Melbourne (and for upgrading alphabet stadium in Geelong, apparently)

 

[damicky]

The decision to play in Tasmania was strictly a financial one

We are charging our Tassie supporters per head

Jeepers! A tad on the chilly side there mate.
Brings back memories of the Canberra match a few years back. The 'wtf' expressions are priceless.

I hope those gate-returns are being shared between both clubs?

I've got a mate down there who reckons one of the perks is he's been married nine times and still has the same in-laws.

To be fair, that was because we weren't allowed to.

Qremier Dan has already put his hand out for his half of the ClarkeMonies

He needs to pay off debts from another sporting event that has been cancelled

I can still get excited about playing at Bellerive though.
