Don't know who will get dropped but the double chance and a home game against the hand baggers could not have worked out any better  :)

What a great season. So proud of the boys considering how dire things looked coming into this year.

The board should be applauded for sticking to the plan and putting their faith in Hardwick and getting better people around him to help out. Let's not forget that after last year that "focus on footy" group tried to take over the club and sack everyone. What a disaster that would have been.
Next challenge is to win a final! 2 cracks at it now. Tough ask considering we play Geelong who we haven't beaten since 2006 and then will likely play Sydney if we lose. A straight sets exit would be a disaster but I've underrated our boys all year and they have proved me wrong time and time again so who knows where this year can go.

Hopefully some good news from Dusty to kick things off then a big win against the cats infront of 95,000 at the G

As far as changes go, I think our entire list will be available which is a great position to be in. Some guys in great form in the VFL too and we will get another look at them in their first final this weekend.

Personally at this stage I think Caddy in for Graham who hasn't put a foot wrong but Caddy more experienced for finals.
Maybe short or Conca in for Markov who hasn't done much wrong either. I'd like miles in too

I don't want to bring Conca in. I remember what happened last time we brought Conca into the team for finals coming back from injury...

Haha very  true

Just secured my finals tickets for week 1  8)

It took ages to get through, Ticketek need to improve their server, happens every big event. You would think they'd be onto it by now

I'm MCC but wanted to get a reserved seat on the wing (no way I'd get there early enough to get one without reserving as I've gotta come from Hobart). Tickets were live at 12:00pm yesterday and they said there were none left in the section I wanted by 12:01pm. I had to keep refreshing and then, all of a sudden, got seats in Row B. So I'm right at the front on the wing. So pumped!

Absolutely devastated that I don't have the money to go. :'(

I know Ticketek is flowering shower, took me 30 mins to get tickets and now I'm up the top

But at least I'll be there  :)

Was that with a membership? I got on first thing at 9am and by the time I got through most of the bottom level Richmond areas were sold out lol. Managed to get 2 seats bottom level though
