Grand Final 2020 Thread Richmond Vs Geelong / Game Day Thread

If I could borrow Warnies script writer for the day I’d say Geelong to get out to a 4 goal lead by qrt time , a 7 goal lead by HT. Geelong and their supporters dreaming of a beautiful GF victory. Then by 3/4 T the Tigers have whittled it back to a 4 goal deficit. Then in the last Q the Tigers cut the deficit to down to 5 points with 10 seconds to play, Selwood gives away a free to Lynch who did a “Selwood” by dropping the knees to earn an over the shoulder free kick. Tom from 75m out goes the torp and the ball goes over the pack for a goal. The goal umpire soft calls a goal but wants to check that it wasn’t touched. Replays are inconclusive, might’ve been touched by a finger but it’s cleared as a goal! Tigers by a point. I think that’d be a result Geelong and their fans are worthy of.

That, or we storm away from the opening bounce and put +4 goals on them every quarter. In a win sooo convincing that even craig is unable to say anything at all negative in the match day thread.

Put a AFL media ban on myself at start of week similar to last few years, been refreshingly good!

Now that’s what a team deserve.

A lot of experts out there in media land are forgetting how hard it was for Geelong to score against us last time.

They are a precise, uncontested mark team also combatting greasy conditions tonight. Throw in the best back 7-8 this club has fielded.

I honestly cannot see them kicking more than 5 goals.

Mark it down, son. We should be overwhelming favourites but for obvious reasons I’m glad we’re not.

Just quietly - Geelong can’t win.

The key to me is for Richmond to bring its best - manic pressure (especially without the ball), no easy contests, break even at least on centre clearance & contested ball around the ground & surge forward at every opportunity. If we achieve that, we’ll be hard to beat. As in every one of these shorter games, a good start is important.
WE need to start FAST & WELL.

Should we win and knowing we have a 25km travel for essential travel only

Are we allowed to jump in the car and travel to Richmond, scarf out of the car window, RFC theme song blaring and travel to Maccas Richmond drive through for some "food" :). Would that be legal :p hahaha.

Want the food to be hot, so order chips. Finish that, drive around RFC theme song blarring, then line up again for a burger, drive around, order a drink, drive around then chips again & so forth hahaha

Game starts 4.40pm here in WA with half time falling on dinner time so what to consume ?. After much deliberation one has setlled on a dozen oysters , a traditional hot dog & of course washed down by a VB.

Chinese takeaway from a dodgy Chinese joint that have prior food health and safety breaches.....aka cat in black bean sauce
