Have a great time Fredi! Are they having a function at the Regent? I was living around the corner in Balham in 2016 - I still have dreams about the Convict brekky burger at Milk
I'm glad you won't have to get up quite as early this year!

Today, there is only one man from either side that has kicked a goal in a Grand Final.
That man is Zaine *!*!*!*!ing Cordy.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Yep… I stayed up watching the Ryder Cup last night hoping to get a sleep in, but awake early.
Less than 12hrs to go… can’t wait!

16 teams envious of us today. Let’s make it 17 clubs envious of us by about 10.15pm.
Cmon Dogs. Make it a boring blowout GF by cutting them to pieces. Opportunity is knocking.

Part of me wants a 10 goal annihilation but another part of me wants a kick after the siren to win the game. Ah stuff it lets just win by 10 goals so we can start the party early.

Re: Melbourne V Western Bulldogs - 2021 Grand Final Thread
Morning Woofers, today is the day.
Starting to feel nervous. Just want to beat them so badly. Wipe the arrogance off their coach/certain players, and make their drought go on at least another year.
All the pressure is on them, and however confident they are playing that fact down, let’s just hope that when that opening bounce happens, they realise the enormity of what they have on their shoulders, and they self combust.
We have more star players and if we have all those playing to their ability, it will put us into good stead.
Enjoy the day guys and gals.
I will never see #16 the same!!

As much as a kick after the siren to win would be the absolute best, I’m not sure my heart would handle it, so I pray for a 8 goal to 1 first quarter with Naughton kicking 4
I will never see #16 the same!!

And we are the good guys in this movie, despite the 2 week Melbourne wankfest the media has been on.
It sickens me.
The meeja love in as well as the neutral supporter bandwagon jump on due to so called sentimental reasons (Melbourne has 12 flags) is working re. Bevo's us against them theme. It's been perfect for us.

To all Woofers,
Thanks for everything. This is an amazing online community. We've been through a lot, together. We've each got our own unique perspective on what it is to be Bulldog through and through... from week to week, win or loss.
I'm glad I get to ride with all of you.
For those in WA and going to the game, shout the house down, and enjoy cheering our boys on.
For all other Woofers wherever you are ( except stupid sexy EW - the macaroon hoarder) , I look forward to sharing the ride alongside you, here tomorrow evening.
Go Dogs!
Is this WOOF's Brett Kirk moment?

Re: Melbourne V Western Bulldogs - 2021 Grand Final Thread
Critically important that we're either ahead or close at quarter time. Melbourne are too good defensively to cough up a decent lead so we need to start well.
Shop early lads.

Re: Melbourne V Western Bulldogs - 2021 Grand Final Thread
What do we think the venue means for them?
At the MCG the MCC would be 100% Melbourne plus half the clubs tickets, purchasing corporate tickets. Plus home ground advantage.
Perth is 50/50 plus small general admission and corporate tickets. So not overwhelming crowd numbers to them. We’ve beaten WCE & Freo over there this year, they’ve beat West Coast & Geelong Super Rules over there.
Any difference or none at all?
