Nice.

 

[Ted Lasso 19,546]

Why name him if he was never really going to play? seems ridiculous to me.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

Very, very clever Richmond.

Pity it fooled nobody.

I doubt they were trying to trick us, just giving their best player the absolute maximum amount of time to get up for the game.

[3183 Dee 2,885]

At the station on the way in...loads of Melbourne everywhere. I feel a bit sick.

I'm not sure about that. He hasn't played a game in the lead up and apparently its a really tricky injury that you can't mess with or he could be out for another 8 weeks. Seems like a ruse for Roos that they might have rued...

 

Sorry about that....

You're probably right, but it was so opportunistic/unrealistic, that it now looks desperate.

Still nervous about this game though. Very nervous.

It feels like a 40 cm putt to win the Masters. Should nail it, but given the gravity of it all, it's terrifying.

We need to win this game.

I'm heading down bridge Rd through enemy turf. Lots of nervous looking people of all colours.

Pandemonium outside Gate 3 as the ticket scanners break down causing a huge crowd waiting to get in. 

Food sellers outside cashing in with their exorbitant prices.

Sorry about that....

I reckon Hardwick was just desperate. I can't see anything to be gained by tricking the MFC, and I doubt anyone would fall for it in any case.

Apparently not confined to Gate 3. 

This could be interesting.

That's not good I am leaving in 5mins and will arrive right on kick off...don't want to be stuck outside for the first half...

[sisso 2,580]

Got straight in gate 4 if that's any help no problems there

[Willmoy1947 4,140]

If all games so far this weekend are any indication there has been a lot of free kicks overlooked.

It seems as though there are instructions to let flow quite a lot. Consequently there are a lot of good and fair players not being protected..
