    Final 1 - for those not going to the game

    While there is a number of Woofers heading to Sydney for the big game next Saturday just wondering for those Woofers who won’t be going where you’ll be catching the game.

    Myself: At home on the couch - same spot I watched the 2016 elimination final and 2016 prelim final.

    I’ll start the game day thread for Final 1 this week and Woofers can put their predictions in as per usual.

    I'll be watching with my brother from the same pub as we did for the 2016 elim.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    From either the couch at home or up at the club; wherever my son wants to watch it.

    Tipping dogs to win by 3 points (in honour of our no. 3 Mitch Wallis who will miss the finals just like he sadly did in 2016).

    Because I'll be away on Hols, it will a replay on Thursday night. I hope it doesn't ruin the end of my holidays and the weekend.

    My brother is going on Friday night he is a Pies fan. We could be playing each other in a few weeks if we advance through these early weeks of the finals. If the Pies win on Friday night will be playing them if we win in Week 1 and 2.

    I (Frankston) will probably go with my two sons (Carlton) to FB Footscray Fanboy (is that you YHF?) to Victoria Hotel Footscray or Whiiten Oval.

    We went for dinner at the Yarraville Club a few weeks ago and sitting at the next table was Jake Stringer!

    Re: Final 1 - for those not going to the game

    I'll be at a mates place doing a double header. Us first then Richmond Brisbane. He's Richmond so I'll have to pretend I want them to win or he'll probably turf me out.

    I am not sure if I am at all happy about watching a final in front of non fellow supporters at their house. They won't understand when I complain about umpiring that is most probably fair and scream my head off for no reason at all.
    They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

    I could be wrong but I thought Footscray Fanboy was Rocco Jones?

    I will be in the city celebrating my wife's birthday (hence why I can't go to Sydney). I will be going to watch the game at Crown (probably at the sportsbar), my wife and friends can do what they like.

    Sydney Saturday forecast: 11 - 20 degrees. Partly cloudy. Winds westerly 35 to 50 km/h.

    Those strong winds will be blowing across the ground. Will that help us? The advantage of their superior foot skills may be reduced. More chaos balls for us?
    The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

    Was wondering the same thing. We are playing a beautiful brand of footy ourselves at the moment I think the wind affects both teams equally.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
