Grand Final 2020 Thread Richmond Vs Geelong / Game Day Thread

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.
It would only be a *smile* of a government that pulled you up for that...oh, wait a second!!

My pre game function starts in an hour. Im so worried I will knock too many back with nerves and miss the game!
Atleast your not as silly as some who went to the pub 7 hours before the pre game function started up there in Brissy last year

Heading off for a strut at Mt D. & to replace the gas bottle
Doing bits & pieces around the place for distraction. But not doing anything very well.

I hate this.

Made it from Canberra to Sydney. Just waiting for connecting flight to Brisbane now. Flight looks like it is packed with Tigers supporters heading up to the game. Not one Cats fan in sight.

For those looking to keep themselves occupied through the day - I flew in yesterday for the game from Adelaide with my two kids. They have spent every second catching Pokémon! Maybe I should give it a go as it seems to be working for them!

Well, they had 165 people in their hub...... so they must be there already!
 
OK, just finished a 10km run in an attempt to wind down and kill some time. Did neither. In fact my best time for a 10km but I'm still pacing the house.

Sanding timber to death all morning. Good distraction. Shower and heading to the airport now.
Play at our best and we will win.
Go Tigers.

Did we go in unchanged in 82 ? Hang on, I'm misreading that. So the times we went in unchanged into a grand final (3 times), we won them all. How many Grand Finals did we lose when we went in unchanged?
 
Love all the positivity on this thread and the 'nervous nelly' comments. I believe we will win if we bring our best, most aggressive game which has unsettled the cats the last 4 times we have played them. BUT...let's not forget how Brissy beat us. Yes we were without Tom Lynch, but they were in our face all night, tackling fast and strongly whenever we tried to break from packs and when trying to overlap through the middle with handball chains. So, if the cats borrow that playbook we could be in trouble but I'm not sure they have enough pace to play the same way. I think we have more guys who are fierce competitors and just refuse to lose. Go tiges.

Those numbers are for three finals in a row, e.g. GF team is the same as the prelim team and the QF or SF team (1921, 1969, 2017)

When just the GF team is unchanged, we're 6-3 (1921, 1934, 1943, 1969, 1974, 2017 / 1919, 1929, 1944)
