AFL 2019

Going tonight , its a sell out, should be a great atmosphere ,
Everyone seems to be picking us which makes me nervous after last year .
-
Tigers Cats game is messing with folks blood pressure. Tigers with early lead befor3 cats took over and went to the half with a commanding lead. Tigers came back hard in second half took lead which cats have responded and tigers now with a slight lead heading into the 3rd quarter. Gripping game, whiskey's going down too easy.
-
4 point lead to the Tigers going into the last. Massive quarter coming up.
-
Great contest ,
Main concern, we go into next week a bit banged up
-
That was an intense game. Well done GWS for making their first granny.
Would’ve been robbed if they had lost.

Just watched the final quarter on replay. Wow. Wow. One helluva comeback from Collingwood. But eat a big fat chubby, Pies.

A close Brownlow finish coming up. Fyfe, Neale, Cripps all in the mix.
-
Fyfe ends up running away with it with a couple of 3 votes to close out.
Second Brownlow for Fyfe.
Midfielders lead the race again
-
I remember when Richmond played freo earlier in the year and Fyfe was very lucky he wasn’t suspended for some high contact.
It’s a fine line sometimes.
Good player , that extra height and marking power for a mid, makes him a difficult player to shut down. -

Heading to my first ever Grand Final this weekend - pumped!!
No idea what to expect. Anyone been to one, and have any tips?
jealous as fuck!! It's on my bucket list (and i would have gone if the Lions had pulled off a miracle).
-
Fyfe is a beast, best player in the comp in my eyes. And he is surrounded by spuds, so there is no one to take votes off him.
But to poll 33 votes when your team wins 9 games? come on. He polled 3 votes in 4 games they lost? The voting is fucked. The refs are star fuckers.
Also the red carpet once again proves the AFL blokes are owning it on the missus stakes

I’m going too, it’s my second, was there in 17,
My tip , head in early, to soak it all up, swan st will be buzzing , if Richmond win, they will have to close the street down to traffic, it will be a massive street party .

Word of caution @barbarian if the Tigers lose it will get feral...

If GWS win, strap on body armour, pretend you are from Melbourne, and get to your hotel quickly. Don't make eye contact

@barbarian you will be ok , it’s not soccer ,
If anything, prelim finals are probably full of your more fanatical fans,
Grand final day, the amount of tickets on sale to the general public is actually pretty limited, most of your die hard fans miss out, they tend to get sold to corporate groups for big bucks these days unfortunately.
So there will be a big crowd of neutrals having a social day out.
-
oh i so look forward to Bruce repeatedly reminding me "the Tiger army are roaring" on Saturday
I assume the 14 GWS members all got allocated tickets...
-
@barbarian another thing,
the MCG is in richmond, richmond has more pubs per square kilometre than any other place in australia, they will be all showing the game,Punt road oval , richmonds training ground and club rooms is right next to the MCG , they will have big screens up of the game ,it will be packed,
, there may not be that many richmond fans able to get their hands on a ticket, but there will be yellow and black everywhere outside on the streets
