Grand Final 2020 Thread Richmond Vs Geelong / Game Day Thread
- Thread starter BrisTiger24
- Start date
I'm about the footy - all the pre game stuff can get soaked and float away down the Brisbane River for all I care. I even hate the pre-game music at a normal game - can't sit there with your family / mates and have a good yack before the first bounce and get that sense of tension building up and the buzz getting louder without your eardrums being assaulted.
Just get this game going - this waiting is killing me.

Geez, hope the Gabba can drain quickly, that weather is insane.
I have been watching a lot of games of footy over the last week or two, just finished the 2019 Grand Final and now on to the 2020 Preliminary Final, second quarter now.
Such a long wait, especially given we are stuck at home.
Should we win, and hoping the weather is ok tomorrow, I'll go for a ride to Punt Rd and put yellow and black ribbons on the bikes again.
Here's hoping, Geelong are very good and we will have to bring our best but I would love to thrash them. 2 big Grand Final wins in a row would strike fear in the rest of the competition and underline a great 4 years.

Would be into presentations about now other years.
30mm in 90 minutes that's a tropical downpour for sure.... Are we going to Se Aqua planing
Stephanie Glimour might be a late inclusion.

Those who listen to SEN off the bench will have heard the 90 year old Margaret call in often. Today she made an excellent point that in nursing homes GF is usually a big thing, and all can watch it. With a night GF she pointed out so many will be in bed and not able to join in.
Hutchinson of course so thick skinned he didn't get the problem given his lifelong quest to get a night GF to make it like the Super Bowl.
I thought after it will,also exclude a lot of young children who are normally asleep by 8.00
But it's all about the entertainment and ratings
Arts is very good also but I can’t see that one happening, caddy a maybe though
Unlikely. Caddy in trackies watching the other blokes warm up
Getting sick and tired of the potential fairy tale ending for Geelong! What about our story? Jack Graham and Kamdyn McIntosh win a medal because of the huge sacrifice they made last year.
And Dangerfield swaps clubs to win a flag. Ugh!
Oh, and Noah Balta our newest Life Member!

We don't have stories apparently. We're just Dustin Martin and a bunch of guys.
Your post sums up my thoughts too, AT. Often agree with your views. My only hesitation has been how the Moggies shut down the Skunks and Lions at the Gabba. Not sure what to make of those easy wins.
I really doubt we will surrender a flag to them that easily. I think it might be closer than 20 pts in the conditions; expecting a really fierce contest but think our game-style will be strong enough to prevail along with the strength of character within this side - as we saw against PA.
To help you pass the time, you may enjoy my old analysis of Meatloaf's performance at a previous GF:
Meatloaf is off the Menu
According to a doctor I know, when someone is being kept alive only because of life support, and close relatives agree to turn it off, it is standard procedure to actually turn it off. Judging from Meatloaf’s performance at our recent AFL Grand Final, standard procedure is not always carried out. Instead, a decision was made to continue with life support. This was done via a tiny, portable machine disguised as a chunky lump of chewing gum attached to the inside of The Loaf’s lower teeth. In this way, what’s left of life can be prolonged by a few hours.
Another doctor I know has violently disagreed with this version of events, saying that, quite clearly, Meatloaf had recently passed away and then been the subject of a partial exhumation. I say partial because they were not able to exhume his voice, it having well and truly passed through the long tunnel of tunelessness and beyond the white light. Unbeknowns to all of us in the audience, we were, in fact, witnessing a medical, if not musical miracle.
So there he is ... Meatloaf ... trashing the world’s appreciation of fine music, one stadium at a time. Little did we know that the best part of the pre-match entertainment was going to be the ‘Welcome to Country’. Actually, we must be grateful Meatloaf wasn’t scheduled for the POST-match entertainment, as thousands may have been killed in the stampede to the exits.
If we subscribe to the view that every cloud has a silver lining, there must be a positive we can pluck from this trainwreck. And there is – since this low point in Australia’s ceaseless campaign to showcase its cultural sophistication to the world, it has been revealed that Meatloaf’s performance is to be screened on large, seaward-facing monitors along parts of coastal Western Australia, in order to repel asylum seekers.
The other obvious positive is that, for a few minutes at least, our collective feeling of aghastness, (if there is such a word, and even if there’s not that’s how we felt) caused us to forget about our other worries ... worries such as climate change. However, if the Meatloaf mess is a foreshadowing of what’s to come at future Grand Finals, then climate change can’t come soon enough.
