    Any difference or none at all?
    2016 it felt like the crowd was a factor. Loudest game I've ever experienced. Pretty happy to be playing the Dees on neutral territory and I think Optus suits us ok. Our last game there was our most impressive defensive effort for the year which hopefully bodes well for today.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Critically important Naughts nails his first shot at goal… we’re going to need scoreboard pressure and as is obvious, take our chances.

    Agree comrade we need to have them on the back foot early.
    They really do cheat quite a bit at stoppage exiting forward trusting their ability to clear.

    We have to put doubt in their minds. Can I run forward I or do I need to watch my man?

    First game they jumped us and it was even after that as they can just setup and deny score and not take risks.

    Perfect scenario for me is one or two goals up at qtr time, maintain that and then pull away late.

    Their first goal is important too, the longer it takes for them to nail their first the better.

    Gawn has me the most worried, Stef with such a low match base.

    Naughton missing a 25 metre directly in front at a critical time is up their with a Bont concussion in terms of nightmare fuel for me.

    I think the more adverse the crowd the better. Every final we have been vastly outnumbered with the crowd. As long as the crowd brings energy I think we an only benefit regardless of who that energy is for.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    Spent last night watching the 2016 GF and the Port Adelaide prelim.

    My observation is how much this team in 2021 is better than 2016.

    What we now need is to bring the effort that was there in 2016.

    We can win this.

    GO DOGS!!!!

    Just saw Cal Ward jogging. In 2016 on the morning of the game I dead set saw Bont jogging. That’s two pretty hot guys with long hair who have played for the Dogs before two GFs and on no other days before or after.

    Can’t be a coincidence probably.

    Yeah if that Melbourne luck continues I’ll be pretty pissed.

    Good vibes from the Captain's Run. Full squad training (including Cavarra in a knee brace) and Bevo addressing the crowd and thanking them. Good vibes.

    Very antsy now. Not sure how to make it to 7pm!

    One line that keeps playing over and over in my head is Bevo pre Prelim; "they underestimate how big our hearts are."

    Let's go Dogs!
