Spent all day in the garden yesterday and then forced myself to do a Quick 10km so I'd have a solid sleep.

I've got generally positive vibes.

Today is critical. Just some doubt over dropping Lennon and Lloyd. We need to kick a winning score and they ins have no match fitness. if this move backfires, it will smack of us getting too cute with selectIons or outsmarting ourselves before the ball is bounced.

Three lost finals in a row and you can say that 8thmond is the new 9thmond.

Lol at those waking with the feeling like they are about to play - I did that yesterday morning!!  Spent the whole night having football-related dreams and woke up with us leading 12.9 to 8.6 and having all the play but not converting chances.  It was one of those dreams that felt so real and I had the biggest knot in my stomach when I woke.  Hope the score was right!!   :gotigers

I've been waiting for today for some time, some call it a day of footy...
I call it a day of reckoning..

Players, coaches, supporters alike need to look into the mirror this morning as they are preparing for today events
We need to look past the vessel of flesh that stares back at us and find that inner courage, determination and resolve that will allow us to lay waste to the largest infestation of human feces ever to present itself in the form of an afl team.

Today,  we will take blood,
TODAY WE WILL RISE TRIUMPHANT!!!!!!

I've been thinking of the 2001 grudge match at the Dome between us and the Dogs. We won by 2 points. I know we aren't playing the Dogs but they lost last night, so just like 14 years ago our last final win, where they failed we'll succeed. Or that's how I want to see it right now. :thumbsup

Slept like a baby.

Very calm and relaxed this morning

About to take the dogs for a walk.

Understand & appreciate it is a huge day but when it's all said and done all I can do today is turn up.

The key for the day is which Richmond turns up

What will be, will be  :gotigers

Have tipped them but not confident.  More worried about North than any of the top 4. Didn't sleep well and really wish I could be there.

I am with Roger on this. I am feeling confident. I am expecting a big day for us and for Jack to kick a bag which he hasn't done for a while. Richmond by 24 points.

In 2013 we were young and overrun by a team that had nothing to lose.
In 2014 we played 9 elimination finals before travelling interstate to a side that was about to explode.

This year we have had a much better preparation and are a more mature side. There are no excuses for a poor game. If we lose, it will have to be because Norf simply played that little bit better than us. Nothing else is acceptable.

Having said that, I think we will win. We must, however, shark Goldstein's hit outs. We cannot afford for him to give their mids an armchair ride.

Worst game for season:
Lids
Cotch
Edwards
Vlastuin
Batch

Shouldn't have played:
Griff

All adds up to another final fail on the cards.
