Likewise. Got going early for breakfast in the city back in 2016 and walking over the bridge to the G, my mate and I were bouncing along waving our flags like we hadn't done since we were kids.

Got to the G and couldn't believe it, just walked around in a daze, a happy, contented, giddy daze. Shattered we don't get that chance this year, but so grateful we had that opportunity. It was a hell of a day.

Just going to keep busy today. Feels very different today. Very distant and a bit removed from it, but happy we broke the drought in 2016, far more relaxed that I would've been about the game.

Don't need to watch previews or any of the guff, we all know what we'll get with that (more saccharine cheerleading and sentimentality for our opponents) so screw that. Just going to do jobs and then tune in for the first bounce. A smash and grab, ambush type approach to the game (hopefully the lads follow suit).

I’m in the middle of creating a display for my house at Christmas ( yeah I’m one of those nuts) drawing then digitally colouring the Aussie 12 days of Christmas to then mount on wood and light up the driveway with them. 3 more to draw and 8 more to colour. What lockdown and a night grand finals make you do. I know I’d rather be roaming around the G instead today but it will help calm the nerves - and better than watching Jonathan Brown stub his toes or a 10th puff piece on Max Gawn or why we should hope Melbourne win so Neale Daniher and Barassi can be happy!🤦🏼‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Before the 2016 GF I watched The Year of the Dog and last night I watched Outsiders.

After watching Outsiders I am more confident of winning today. We are coached by a genius.

There’s rightly a lot of focus on Luke’s ability to mentally and spiritually inspire the team but lost in this is his ability as a tactical coach.

And a Good Morning it is, to be a Western Bulldog.

It is time. To fight for one and fight for it all.
To bring the cup back to the promised land ❤

Enjoy mate. All us Victorians (and those in other lockdown states) wish we could be there.

Bring the cup home Dogs!

Off to do the Saturday morning grocery, butcher, bakery etc run with Mr Dayz and two year old mini Dayz. Going to wear my doggies scarf 🧣 Having an energetic toddler is a nice distraction from the nerves as there is always something they need or want from you

Absolutely. I have two toddlers and win, lose or draw, nerves or no nerves today, I'll still have to change nappies. They bring you back to earth very fast.

The game will start about 5AM local time. Here's my plan for watching it:
Wake up at my normal time. The game will be about over by then. Stay off of Big Footy or any other place that I might run in to a spoiler, crank up my all Australian playlist and head to the kitchen where I will make my first attempt at baking authentic Australian meat pies. The lady on the Youtube video that I took the recipe from has one of those funny Victorian accents so I'm reasonably confident they will be authentic. Then about noon I will turn off the music, put the game on, crack open one of he Coopers I bought today and sink my teeth into a pie.

How it will probably go:
I won't sleep much tonight, will find myself awake at 5AM and unable to resist turning on the game and watching it while enjoying scrambled eggs and bacon. But that's okay, because after the Doggies win I can bake the pies on Sunday and watch the replay Sunday evening with my pies and Coopers.
