victorian media has been jacking off over this game for a fortnight. i guess its because all other games involve non victorian teams :D

Yes the hype is almost as big as a Showdown.

Not just the Victorian media, most footy fans. It'll be a massive atmosphere and will feel like a finals game which last night never did for some reason.

Rain and small hail due across Melbourne around 4pm. Should clear by game time, just a matter of how much comes down and exactly when. No wind about so you'd expect conditions would be pretty good come game time.

They've been in the wilderness (where a Tiger belongs) for so long, they have just come out of the woodwork. Out shopping last night and it really was a cavalcade of Tigers.... on parade. Other than that, yeah, why would ya?

I envy you guys, you can just watch the game stress free for entertainment knowing the atmospherw will be awesome and that Geelong usually put on a good show.
I still remember this day last year, I felt I wanted to give up on football and broke down in tears after we beat Hawthorn, it was too hard, I was extremely drunk though. :lol:
I'll be hoping for a game that isnt close tonight either way unlike you guys!

Tigers have anyone to go with Dangerfield?


No one in the comp can go with Danger, think they're better off sitting someone on Cotchin.

Genuine 50/50 game, tipping the Cats because of their experience but a Tiges win wouldn't surprise at all.

No hesitation picking Richmond. I reckon they're as good a things as Adelaide last night & Sydney tomorrow.

Me, last year too...

As much as I love finals, it's bloody stressful. And now that I am going tomorrow arvo the stress levels will be higher.. Super excited though

Cats win by around 77pts. The tiger train will derail.

The game would be called off from too many ground invasions before it got to 77 pts!
