Drove down from Canberra to watch this one.   Been walking around the streets of Footscray since first light this morning, just to ease the tension and reflect what might be come 6:30 this evening.  Amazing to see Bulldogs scarves and beanies still adorning letter boxes and front fences after last year's success.  Makes me envious and tells me that occasionally dreams do come true!  First steps first.  A win today is the first priority.  Kill 'em Dees!

 

My son and I are down from Sydney. If you're at the march, keep an eye out for us and say hello (assuming you recall my appearance) and I'll do the same. We don't have reserved seats so will be taking our chances in the general admission areas (gates 3 & 5?).

Th pies fans will pull out the injuries excuses. Never mind that we have been without our best ruckman and our best forward who was diagnosed with cancer. I may add. 

who cares about excuses. It's only the 4 points that matter.

Collingwood are a poor team. Make no mistake. 

Play the game on our terms and we win easily.  A good start is vital, we can't keep getting out of jail with come from behind wins.

Not feeling well....

                      shaved ham in my breakfast omelette must've been a little off.....

Stomach cramps..........

                                    Must, go, home....

Plenty of cars pouring into the MCG already, reckon the crowd will be huge

Looking for a "little something" to calm the nerves on the streets of Footscray mate?

Massive game and must win.

I was nervous going into the North game and was bitterly disappointed.

I don't rate the Pies, we should smash them, Oliver to have 35 disp in BOG display!

Come on Dee's!

Glad they don't have Wells or Elliot. I don't underestimate the importance of those two guys to the Collingwood side. Two less game breakers we have to worry about.

G'day hardtack.  We'll be at the march and look forward to catching up if our paths cross.

First live game for myself in 2017. Just want the win, so we get an extra week to get a ruckman back, not fussed about percentage at all.

Play hard from the start, let us be the team saying how the game is dictated.

I wish I was going to this game biggest QB match since the 2002 season when both teams finished in the 8. 

Line in the sand today, we need to stop losing games we should win.

we need to be ruthless and destroy the scum today. The only thing that can stop us is ourselves 

#StatementTime#QB17

 

At work until 4 today. Will try a sneak peak at the score but have to focus on my work (I wish!). Rarely missed the QB game in the past and we have had some good wins in the past 2 years.

I just can't see their forward line kicking enough goals, or their defence being able to hold back Garlett, Petracca, Watts and Co. 

And I hope they totally ignore Gav Brown's son, let him be highlighted by his ineffectiveness and obscurity.

I'm stuck at work too but started with the coughing early, I'm starting to get a little worse as it gets closer to lunch.

Time to produce the coathanger Ethan. That should dispel any doubts.

Overcast slight chance of afternoon rain

I expect us to be inspired by the presence of Neale Daniher in the rooms before the game. Similar to Jesse firing them up in Adelaide.

Just started drizzling here about 10ks SE of the G

I hate Collingwood. That is all I have to say.
