Geelong key forward Tom Hawkins has skipped training on Tuesday morning leaving some intrigue less than a week out from the 2020 AFL Grand Final.
Hawkins is being quarantined away from his teammates after feeling sick, with the Cats taking every precaution to ensure nothing is passed to the players.

It’s understood the Coleman Medal winner was set to do a press conference on Monday, before veteran Harry Taylor stepped in with the Cats labelling the change due to a “family commitment”.

No need to panic though, we have Josh Jenkins! :lol:

It clearly won't be the same experience as 100,00 at the G but I'm trying to be excited to be part of the most 'different' GF in the game's history. If we win, I definitely won't care.

Anyone been to The Gabba and can recommend a bay to watch the game from? Usually it's a ballot for what seat you get at the G but I think we can pick and choose a bit more this year.


Jealous Mate have to work this weekend getting our unit ready for sale but will be watching the game on a big screen somewhere.

Enjoy mate and have a great time.

Let that be a lesson to you Sturt. You don't beat Glenelg 3 times in a row in Grand Finals and get away with it.

This Friday is going slower than most Friday's if that's somehow possible.

Fly out tomorrow morning, seats on the HF flank... 3 flags in 4 years, daring to dream!!
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

I should have been a North Melbourne supporter:


The MCG might be unusually empty on AFL Grand Final day, but that’s not going to stop footy fans around the country from tucking into the traditional match-day pie.

In fact, a whopping $14.8 million is expected to be spent across Australia in food delivery for the Grand Final, according to an estimate from Deliveroo. That’s an increase of 35% on last year, as fans are forced to skip the pub and watch from home.

According to Deliveroo’s research pies are (to no-one’s surprise) the meal of choice when watching the AFL, as voted for by 33%. The next-most ordered dishes for match day are pizza, burgers, chicken wings and hot chips.

We’ve listed EVERY team’s favourite footy food below!
Maybe there’s a reason behind the love of pies: superstition. A full 17% of fans rate a beef pie with hot chips as the luckiest match day meal.

Just avoid the salad. Nearly a quarter of Aussies (23%) say salad is the unluckiest meal on game day, followed by nachos (7%). So if your team loses on Sunday, feel free to blame anyone digging into a Caesar, Waldorf or Cobb.

And the rivalry between the Cats and Tigers won’t just heat up on the field; there’s even a difference in their fans’ favourite pies.

Steak, Bacon & Cheese is king of the pies for the Richmond faithful, whereas Geelong fans prefer Chunky Steak.

But it’s surely no surprise that Collingwood Magpies fans love their pies more than any other team, with 30% of fans rating it their favourite dish.

Here’s what your team’s fans will be digging into come Saturday night.

Your team’s ‘official’ dish:

Richmond Tigers: Classic Mince Pie (21%)

Geelong Cats: Meat Pie (20%)

Adelaide Crows: Potato Wedges (18%)

Brisbane Lions: Chicken Wings (12%)

Carlton Blues: Hot Chips (15%)

Collingwood Magpies: Meat Pie (30%)

Essendon Bombers: Chicken & Leek Pie (7%)

Freemantle Dockers: Classic Mince Pie (15.5%)

Gold Coast Suns: Hot Dog (17.65%)

Greater Western Sydney Giants: Chicken & Potato Pie (14.5%)

Hawthorn Hawks: Hot Chips (17.5%)

Melbourne Demons: Pizza (21%)

North Melbourne Kangaroos: Sausage Roll (8%)

Port Adelaide Power: Beef Burger (23%)

St Kilda Saints: Pizza (17%)

Sydney Swans: Chicken Wings (11%)

West Coast Eagles: Beef Burger (13%)

Western Bulldogs: Hot Dog (28%)

Happy Grand Final day all! :D
Watched a bit of the 92 GF on Fox Footy tonight at work and two things hit me, one how bloody tough the game was then and two I have no idea how Geelong lost that game! I forgot we actually put up a fight as I went in 94 and that was horrid.

Now to find 8 hours sleep somewhere....

Rain went light for a while but heavy again now, real concerns that there will be delays because of lightning.

I don't think dew will be an issue! :lol:
