Grand Final Day - What will you do?

[He de mon 730]

The vast majority of Dee's fans live in Melbourne and it is hard to reconcile that we won't see Melbouurne awash with Red and Blue as we make our way to the game.  No bbq's with family and mates. No pubs open to scream and holler with fellow supporters. No dancing in the streets if we take home the silverware. It feels a little hollow.

What will you do in this strange year as part of the build up to the big dance?

For regional Vic's like myself or interstaters, are there any venues who will be holding events for those of us who are luckily enough not to be in lockdown ?

I will go to the footy and barrack!  

[Kent 2,657]

Break the curfew?

I think I might watch a bit of it🙃

Depending on weather - drive to The Pass and either surf or if unfavourable waves take a ride into the Byron hinterland, coffee at Bayleaf.

Scarf hanging out in the car window in the traditional manner. Streamers and balloons on our fence.

Crack a bottle of Bowen Estate or Henschke at half time depending on progress.

Next morning either an angry ride for a loss or happy ride for win.

I’ll play it by ear but here’s the most likely way it plays out:

 

I’ll attempt to drink myself into oblivion on the Friday night in hopes of waking up at 2:30pm on Saturday and most of the waiting behind me. Upon waking up I’ll probably heave, then amble around the block a few times on a run powered entirely by nervous energy. 
Then it will be a shower and back to the bar fridge for the next 4 hours.

Is anyone sneakily going to go to a family members or freinds house to watch it?

If we're going to do that, we may as well have the GF at the MCG.

The rules are there for a reason (even though more than a few don't follow them)

[danielE288 680]

Yeah I see your point, to be honest we can go to a public place with 1000's of people to get vaccinated but going to a freind shouse to watch a game of football is out of the question, seems mad

Dial 00 so when I keel over from impending heart attack I just need to press the last 0.

I will be a nervous wreck from the moment I wake until the outcome is incontrovertible.

I agree it's mad and would've been nice to watch the game with mates.

But we can't so I won't.

I might try and brew that day, it will take up a lot of the day and keep me busy. If not I’ll look at ways to be put into a controlled sleep until kick off.

I'll be going hopefully if a fellow dee is feeling generous ,I have my membership but I'm just trying to find one more priority 2 barcode if a fellow dee is able to so I can take my partner, the more dees there the better,

The opposition leader suggested bringing in a family bubble for GF day. I think that’s a great idea, let’s  see if Dan allows it. Either way, rules will be broken that day.

Be glad that my anxiety every game day will be given a rest. Win or lose. 

[old dee 23,108]

Be unable to think or eat!

In NSW you can get between $300 - $800 for lagging on someone.

You are not alone. The life of a MFC supporters is tough even when we are winning, finished top of the ladder and cruised into a GF.

I’m going to try and get some Valium or something from my doctor friends. I really think I’ll drop dead if it’s a close game. 

[old dee 23,108]

Is this another bl…. Night game? I doubt I can make it through that day.
