The best news is that I won’t be attending the GF this year if we make it. My ticket will be going to one of my kids whose never attended a GF.
I was there in 1990 yes, however I also attended in 2002, 2003, 2010 Draw, 2011 and last year. Yes, you guessed it, I didn’t go to the replay in 2010.
I'm not even going in the ballot, I'll be watching at home where I watched us win 1990 and 2010

Thought I was going to be able to make it home for the Grand Final, but no dice; if all goes according to plan, I'll be back in Melbourne the week after.
If we make it to the Grand Final, I'll likely be watching this year's big dance where I watched the 2010 draw and replay: at a pub in Midtown New York.

i have two omens that i now live by.
1. First, I never book flights to Australia (from USA) until we actually win the preliminary final. Got me through 2010, 2011 and 2018.
2. I will never again agree to be interviewed for Channel 7 news while in Australia. I was anonymous in 2010 and we won. I was interviewed in 2011 (we lost) and not only was i interviewed, i was featured on channel 7 news in 2018 (we lost).
So if we win today, i'll book my flights to the game, but if i see a cameraman, i am going to run for my life!!!!!

Geelong haven't lost a final when leading by more than 20 points at half time since the 1930 Grand Final!!!! We won the grand final that year!!!!AN_Inkling wrote:An omen for the Prelim.
Richmond have now won 11 games in a row.
Last time they did that was 1980.
They played in a Grand Final that year too. Their opponent? Collingwood.
