Tigers vs Bombers R21 "blockbuster" - Caro

[mightytiges]

Fans are being encouraged to take public transport amid fears of a car park nightmare. A Jehovah's Witness convention is being held at nearby Rod Laver Arena.

They said "Jehovah"   

OFFICIAL: I'm warning you. If you say 'Jehovah' once more-- [MRS. A. stones OFFICIAL]

Right. Who threw that?

[silence]

Come on. Who threw that?

CROWD: She did! It was her! He! He. Him. Him. Him. Him. Him. Him.

OFFICIAL: Was it you?

MRS. A.: Yes.
 
OFFICIAL: Right!

MRS. A.: Well, you did say 'Jehovah'.

CROWD: Ah! Ooooh!... [CROWD stones MRS. A.]

OFFICIAL: Stop! Stop, will you?! Stop that! Stop it! Now, look! No one is to stone anyone until I blow this whistle!
 
Do you understand?! Even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say 'Jehovah'.

CROWD: Ooooooh!... [CROWD stones OFFICIAL]

WOMAN #1: Good shot!

All restricted seating has been sold and only a handful of standing room tickets are currently left.

Crowd size?

[cub]

Depends on MCC, all visitor tickets are sold and the only time I nearly missed a Granny was when Melbourne played Essendon (a lot of Ess MCCers) so that should be close to max.
When last heard 1500 tickets in AFL members left.
All in all should easily be biggest crowd of year including GF, as the Granny has too many freebies corporate stuff set aside that doesn't get filled for some reason.
All the more reason to leave the granny for the Members of cometing clubs, but that's another story.

Nice if we could really push 100K and good move sharing the gate too, thanks sheeds 

On a limb 100,008 and 40,000 odd singing the Tigers theme song @ about 19:45 this arvo. If that doesn't send a tingle up the spine

Sounds good to me

Looking forward to this game.  Not because I think it'll be a great game but to see how the kids react to playing in front of such a big crowd.

Was thinking along those lines also.
Some of the greats have been the one's that can perform during the finals (pressure cooker) games.
This will be certainly one of those with the crowd and the atmosphere.
Will be interesting to see which guys stand up. I think Foley will be one, just doesn't seemed to get fazed.
Will be keeping a close eye on the lids and blingers especially but also the others just to see who may be our future finals star(s)

We'll need both Lids and Blingers pace and run through the lines today if we are to win. Try to run the Bombers aging legs of their feet and expose their lack of pace on the bigger grounds.

We have enough experienced hands in the midfield and up forward so IMO it'll be our young defence that will be tested as far as reacting under a massive crowd.

Us getting an early goal would do wonders to settle any nerves.

We don't need to tank. No harm no foul!

Plough playing games. Kingy up forward. Polak to start in the ruck.

Joel, Tivs, Petts and Patto on the bench.

Newman on Hird 

Polak to Richo OOF

Richo makes up for it but Lloyd gets it back.

Can someone tell me what happened after Mitch had a shot at goal?
Thought he would have got it, but the pizza man came just at that moment 

[mightytiges]

Mitch?

How many set shots have we not even reached the target  

[mightytiges]

Another miss
