If I didn't buy my Mum and Step Dads tickets there's no way in hell they'd be able to do so electronically. They'd have been lined up there too if I didn't do it.

I guess not everyone understands that though.

Anywhoo, Geelong get to rock their blue shorts Saturday night!
At least if we lose we'll do it fashionably. :D

70,000 tickets have been sold already to the Cats v Lions game! :shock:

Ironic thing is if we managed to upset the Swans tomorrow night, we would play either the 2004 or 2007 other grand finalists

Another weird sporting annomonly.
Last time the swans played a side in a preliminary we haven't beaten for 6-8 years. Was when we beat Collingwood in 2012

Not at all confident about tomorrow. Port have momentum and we are coming off another break. We can't afford another bad start.

The old "game is won in the midfield" is no more evident than tomorrow night.

This is a real "who wants it most" game.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Shame for Adams, but Fox can play back and is a more fitting replacement for Mills

Adams must be wondering what the hell has happened to his career.
If they win he's relying on an injury to get in.
If Sydney happen to win the gf and he doesn't play id put him on welfare watch
That's gotta be a tough pill to swallow.

For all the exceptional young talent on display tomorrow hope we get to see Parker and Wines in the middle at the same time. Two awesome warriors over 10+ years and well respected outside of their own clubs you’d think.

Yeah agreed that's a great match up.
Parker much more dangerous inside 50 though.

Wines did a fair bit of ruck work around the ground last week with Dixon out, Ratugolea chipped in a couple of times but Sweet did almost all the ruck work solo and his clash with Grundy tonight will be crucial. Sweet has really impressed me since mid year when he took the role and made it his own, I'd say he'd be mounting a case as the recruit of the year.
