I am with you mate. Will always be an Essendon supporter first but jumped on board with the Giants from day 1 as a foundation member. Going to Melb tomorrow. Will be wearing the hat Sheeds gave me when they were still in the NEAFL.

Weekends don’t come any bigger.
Essendon?? Booooooo

Lots of green around town but a decent spattering of wabbit supporters as well!

I actually think their team is stronger if Gurgess drops out, Surgess plays middle and Lowe on an edge tbh.

I hope they pick Britt over Su’a Is that happens personally.
well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.

It is amazing isn’t it? I went into Civic at lunchtime and green jerseys everywhere.

Never seen anything like it in this town.

What we see tonight will be unlike anything we’ve ever seen before

Like I’ve said previously, I don’t know a single person whose team has been knocked out that isn’t supporting the raiders

Nervous!

The boys really should get the job done tonight, but I'm too scarred by this team to feel confident.

Figured I had to post something with some of the other long-time members coming out of the woodwork. I'm always lurking on here for my fix of everything Raiders, but have never been a big poster. My youngest (8 yo) is just starting to take an interest in the NRL and I'm taking him to his first live game (where he isn't a baby in a lap), hoping this is the start of something special and he becomes a fan for life.

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Nah but heard the physio telling him he will come into his room for some treatment. They’re busted already!!

Warren Smith, Blocker and Matt Russell on the call tonight. Also saw them in the hotel.

I was just showing my daughter the Viking clap and came across this video from 2016.

This was the last time we had a home final to a sold out stadium, with the pressure of being favourites and an expectation to win.

And we got the job done. All of a sudden I feel a lot more confident.

wasn''t Murray under an injury cloud? (shoulder). This makes sense as if Murray were to go down, they would need another big workload forward.

Seeing a lot of out of towners getting around in raiders jumpers and shorts. It’s been a cracking day but don’t be fooled it still gets bloody cold once that sun drops. Chuck in the Raiders jacket and beanie!!

Wasn't sold out, was only 20k

Also the hype died in the ass after we lost in week 1.

Where is your running mate? 4 pages in the game day thread at this time of day is abysmal.

Azza is at least dude to start his "everything is okay" shift in 30 minutes. There's at least 3 pages.

I’m stuck in Darlinghurst tonight. On tour with my uni showcase and have a performance at 7:30
As soon the show ends I’m legging it back to my Airbnb and watching on Kayo. I’ve told everyone I could remotely come into contact with that I don’t want to know the score at any point, I’m logging out of Facebook and the greenhouse and deleting the NRL app at 7:25pm. Born in 1996 and have been a die hard supporter since I can remember. I’ve never seen us make a GF before and I can barely contain myself. Let’s go you raiders!!!
