2019 Grand Final Match Day Thread - Richmond v GWS

Seems to say that a lot in these "Sound The Alarm" videos. Makes him sound very one dimensional. I'm sure he's says some more interesting and intelligent things in the box, at least I hope so!!!

It makes it look like whenever we're in trouble he just comes up with "Raise the fight".

Jesus I can do that!!!
Poor old Leon Cameron told his runner to tell the GWS boys to raise the fight but the message mustve got mixed up and the players thought Leon was telling them to "Raise the Flag"!!!

So they did and got belted.
 
Loved seeing Maureen celebrate on the podium.

I was surprised when GWS dropped this year and Leon Cameron's mature attitude talking to the players after the game makes me even more surprised.

Unlike Adelaide, I reckon they will be back, just an off year after a bad GF loss and with the weirdness of 2020. Looking from outside I see a better culture at GWS than a lot of clubs.

Still tear up watching stuff like that.
I know this is the wrong thread but it appears the 2017 equivalent has been locked.

Anyway, didn't go looking but just popped up as a suggested watch...
They do take you back some of these... Bit clunky in parts but still made me smile!

Marlion's blind turn Grand Final debut is legendary. But Chimp's first tackle on "gonna bang them up" Mummy with Prestia joining in for an elbow to Mummy's head set the tone for the day. We were never going to lose.

Rioli’s goal near the end of the first quarter broke GWS. They had given their all just to stay in touch only for Rioli to undo all their work in the final minute. Martin and Riewoldt then went to work on them in the second quarter and the match was done at half time.

Everyone remembers Pickett’s blind turn and rightly so but his ability to hold his own in the middle against a fairly stacked GWS midfield (Taranto, Hopper, Kelly, Whitfield) allowed us to leave Martin forward and boy did he make them pay.

Great day, very relaxing from about 3:30pm onward.

yeah. This is the Grand Final I took my boys (12 and 9 at the time) too. Had warned them that there might be a bit of shouting a swearing during the game. Instead from the 2nd quarter onwards it became a party with every Richmond goal celebrated with no fear or worry that we would somehow lose. It was a surreal feeling and the exact opposite of 2017

The only violence the boys was when the lady next to me slapped me for saying "We've got this won" 10mins into the 2nd quarter.
