It's a lovely balmy but cool 22 right now as we walk through Richmond to the G!

Looks windy out there flags whipping around…hopefully doesn’t help their giant forward line

If we lose tonight, then One of the two premiership favourites will be 0-2 by the end of the next week. To make matters worse both Bris and Melb face other top 4 prospects in round 3 in the Dogs and Swans respectively.

With almost 20min to go - such a disappointing crowd -  looks tiny -  MCC members you can sit where you like

I  decided to drive to the G and got a parking spot. Unfortunately after entering the ground I discovered that the entire first level in the northern stand is now reserved seating. I have been sitting in that area since 1960. There is nothing as constant as change. I got to chose between behind the goals or southern stand wing, wing won! Too many members!!!!!!.

Not sure where you are... ground level has been claimed for almost an hour

[Jaded No More 68,975]

Very windy. Heat has died down. Now it’s just humid. 

[Deebauched 1,220]

Is there a decent crowd rolling up?

The average crowd since 1990 is 31,000 for a Dogs V Dees game at the MCG.

I wouldn’t be expecting more than 40k tonight.

The bars were packed in the Olympic stand. Ppl finding their way to their seats now. Sparse in AFL members and Ponsford top decks though.

It’ll double in the next 20 as people sit in bars and are either in the line trying to get in. 

[layzie 34,326]

Alright we're in. Sticky floor (Thanks a lot Richmond or other previous team fans)

Admittedly a little envious of DL fraternity in situ at the ‘G. But just arrived at Terminal 21 after the road trip from the periphery. In good time to view the game. Wishing all fellow Demonlanders a great evening. Will  hopefully be celebrating a hard fought victory with the local brew. Go Dees!

[layzie 34,326]

Bring on some footy, how good is it to be back!
