I'm at work. The boys have a great R & R grill they've set up outside one of the dongas. Top notch, BBQ's, pizza ovens, fridges, freezers, big screen TV, roof mounted heaters etc.
They've all turned into GWS fans, typical. West Coast flogs.

I've printed off 10 different Collingwood posters and got some black and white ballons off the catering mob. I'll be decorating the R & R an hour or so before we all knock off.

I have no doubt we'll win tonight, none at all.

Go Pies!

While I don't doubt GWS have improved and the personnel available tonight is better as a whole if you look at our last game it's not like their midfielders didn't find the ball.

It went under the Webber 2 hours ago. It'll be as good as prime Swanny 30 minutes before the bounce, ready to carve up.

I enjoy a good wine and a real beer, and this is one of those occasions you get the good stuff out.
I'm having to host two Carlton supporters who have flown up from Melbourne for it though! I'm taking this Carlton fear head on.
I've got one of my Pie mates coming over to balance it out in case it gets ugly, and they turn on us. This is how they behave, it's in their DNA, so things could get willing later on...

I'll be sporting my commemorative 100-year 2015 ANZAC day guernsey with no.5 on the back, as I'm backing Jamie to light it up tonight.

What do those not going to the game have planned?

Enjoy the night Nicksters.

Smash em' lads.

Just read an article that Toby Greene's dad who was banned from the MCG after assaulting someone after GWS lost the grand final, is being allowed back in for tonight's game.

Makes Maynard's stuff seem pretty insignificant!

I’d like a 24 point margin please which would be comfortable and be a winning dividend for my bet.

No injuries and no reports please. Someone or someones are gunna set it alight tonight for us… just can’t work out who?

Jordy, Coxy, DMac, Beau… maybe all of ‘em!

The flip side was Nick, Titch and JDG had 108 between them.

Just watched a brief interview with Mason’s parents who have again flown in to watch the game. They are supremely confident that Cox will kick a few tonight. I hope he does because if he kicks 5 or more goals, we will win.

Granted, he hasn’t played in 7 weeks, but for all we know it could be the freshen up his young battered body needed. Wouldn’t be surprised if he turns it on, and quickly.
He hadn’t played in far more than 7 weeks in his very first game, and yet he turned it on then!

I wouldn’t give a crap what the hack media say! We know that 90% of the neutrals (Victorians) will barrack for a team from Western Sydney

Enjoy the evening Laurie. Getting in early with my salutations and well wishes because if we can’t get up I’ll be giving Nicks a wide berth…!

Whatever happens it’s been an awesome season.

Go Pies!

Watching the game in the lounge at home on TV. Bought Hot Dogs, Chicken Tenders to go in the air fryer, bread rolls and Tzatziki.

Food at 7:30 with Mum with a glass of red and a beer, then boot her out the back at half time so I can enjoy the second half on my own.

Go Pies.
