KB is on sen passionately saying Richmond should wear their normal strip anyway and cop the fine. I kind of agree. What clash?

Obviously the crows should wear their home jumper if there is a clash, but there isn’t.

When KB was winning a premiership they were still swapping guernseys after the game so half the team was parading around the cup wearing a Collingwood jumper etc.

It is. My wife got standing room for two of our grand finals and I was able to swap them for seats both times on bigfooty. Some people actually prefer standing room, but they generally prioritise swapping with women or children.

There's about 10 pages of Adelaide fans with confirmed bays/seats in both priority 1 and priority 2 ballots apparently I misread, everyone is just confirming their category based on CC charges

At least there'll be some silver lining if Adelaide wins (aside from EDDIEBETTS Norm Smith)

Imagine being the only club in who has lost to Richmond in a prelim in 35 years. Or the only club who has lost to the Bulldogs in a prelim in 56 years.

Even worse, imagine doing both over the course of 2 seasons

Imagine if that was North, Hawthorn or Collingwood.

Probably a scalper by now, unless there are any corporate packages or ballot tickets left. They don't really throw it open to the general public, even the participating clubs don't get a lot of tickets.

e: I don't really know for sure though, so keep hunting.

Scalpers aren't an option. This is a Richmond Grand Final.

Was at the game and the best moment was after Richmond's 2nd goal in the third the crowd did the "yeeeaaah!" which then exploded into a long and incomprehensible "HHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA."

The people around me were chill. On the way out a guy stood alone topless at the stairs shouting "RICHMOND. RICHMOND." and high fiving everyone.

It'll build character. True, there's not many GWS fans at this stage but the ones that are are pretty passionate.

If you're not a club or AFL member on a ticket ballot, well, do you have a spare grand kicking around? Public access disappeared around about the time clubs started getting serious about membership numbers in the '90s.

I don't hold it against Deledio leaving Richmond and it's almost cruel the hand fate has dealt him. He was a major factor in us making our previous finals. I liked when Cotchin ran onto the field to hug him after the game.

Let me start off with a basket of chips. Then move on to the pollo asado taco.
The only consolation of a Richmond GF win I guess is knowing that absolute racist fuckwit Crows supporter we were sat next to at the BombersCrows game won’t be happy, so that’s some silver lining I guess.
