Well folks, considering I've been in Perth for work for the last couple of days and am flying home on the red eye tonight to be back for the game, along with plenty of Dockers fans, I thought I might do myself the honour of starting the match day thread. After all, it's still 10.30pm here so most of you guys are probably already getting a good night's sleep to be ready for the game. I won't have that but I'll be there anyway!
In any case, the mood over here among Dockers fans is genuinely pessimistic. I don't think they've considered the weather in Sydney mind you but they really feel that we are the best team in the comp and that they are unlikely to win. They also feel genuinely respectful to us and I have sensed none of the Sydney bashing that some supporters of our Victorian opposition clubs go on with. The relationship that we have with them based on the mutual West Coast rivalry seems to remain as strong as ever.
I should add that while I'm here I made a trip over to Virgin Airlines yesterday and fiddled with the thing that makes the plane fly, but don't tell anyone about that.
Swans by 19.
