I feel so ill....it makes it so much worse that we are the favourites. 

My missus has invited a heap of people over tomorrow night too so I need to behave... 

*within covid guidelines of course* 

I reckon we need to put someone on Henry. He has been great At intercept marking, especially since Stewart went down. 

will be massive if we can bring the ball to ground inside 50

So am I right in thinking that the medi-sub in the grand final is just a free sub? You could freely sub any player off and say "nah they won't be good to play for 2 weeks....

Good deal on the Cheezles, I will have to head out in the morning. Woolies also have Lolly Gooble Bliss Bombs, which have been requested by the daughter as the celebration snack!!!

It was only 125 grams of cheezleness in a massive 10 x 25 cm box, so there are serious environmental concerns attached to putting those dehydrated corn and maltodextrin treats on your fingers like they're premiership rings and then eating them off one by one. Toobs with their wider inner-circumference probably have a better carbon footprint.

@Jadedwill probably appreciate this, but I nervous-ate 85 percent of my Cheezles already, some eighteen hours before the match. The whisky reserves have also taken a hit (not a recommended combination by the way).

I feel this very strongly in my soul. 
But stress eating is done now. I’m in stress loading. Too anxious to eat. Great for the diet. 
I’ll be knocking off work from home early tomorrow and getting stuck into the several wine bottles in my bar. I have a very special bottle of champagne that I’ve been keeping for a long time. If we win the grand final I’m going to neck the entire thing.

Jeez, I need a mylanta just thinking about that!

I reckon you’re right. If someone is having a shocker they might be told to limp off. The club would cop a fine but who gives AF?

Or they could contract the Carlton doctor of 2018 to write a certificate. 

Smiths chips. Plain. The big party size pack.  The salt brings on the thirst.

So in place off Smith out, it's Smiths in. 

I wonder how much anxiety supporters are feeling is because Melbourne haven’t played for a week, we seem to have forgotten just how good we were against Brisbane.

it might also be because Melbourne haven't played in a grand final since almost the invention of mobile phones.

I don’t remember being this nervous in 2018.

I have a $400 bottle of red that I picked up in the Napa Valley in March. I don't care if the bounce is at 03:00 in the morning over here for me in California, it's going to go down with a bloody nice cheese board to boot

Hatch and dispatch 

Geelong have named Darcy Fort as an emergency.  It was reported he rucked at their training yesterday while Stanley didn't.

Tuohy and Henderson also reportedly 'sore'.

A late change coming up?

I don’t think anyone felt like we had a real shot at a flag in 2018. Beating Geelong and Hawthorn was reward enough after 190 years of no success. 
 

We can win it this year which is so much worse.

No mention of Cameron’s hamstring? Or Hawkins’ bruised elbow?

Which makes one crave salty snacks.
