On the fang, I'm opening with prawns, followed by BBQ lamb cutlets then into the marinated chicken wings.
Half time it's Four n Twenty Pies.
All going well, the red wine starts getting poured late in the 3rd quarter.

I'm sensing 1990 vibes (which I watched again last night as part of my prep). This time the Lions get a few early, before we take over by the 3rd quarter and our faithful start going bunta.

What a great day to be part of.

Absolutely fizzing at the bunghole.

Smash 'em lads!

Down here in the Huon Valley in Tasmania and can't wait. Will be only the second premiership I've witnessed and the first for my son if we get over the line today. Go Pies!

GO WOODSMEN! ⚫⚪️⚫️⚪️

1,600th VFL/AFL win in history coinciding with a 16th VFL/AFL Premiership would be very fitting.

Whatever happens, the last two seasons under Fly have been an absolute blessing for us supporters. To cap it off with a Premiership would be a dream come true.

The prospect of evening up the Premiership tally with Carlton and Essendon shouldn't be lost on anyone. It's 40+ years in the making.

Wherever you are today, enjoy the day and soak it all in!

I'm watching the GF at home and am now hoping my 7 Plus stream works.

I've experienced all of our grand finals starting with 1966 and I know there are no guarantees. Watching the 1990 and 2010 grand finals again, I've seen that the team that elevates itself to the highest level will win the struggle. That's what both our winning teams did. And its what I believe our 2023 team will do. The boys are ready for it and have had a strong lead up in the earlier finals and I think they are primed ready to go off.

Go Magpies!!
