Glad you didn’t compare it to Melbourne’s, it would be like a David v Goliath comparison, but hey, we all know who won that battle.

Let's hope so. David did okay in that contest.

Let's hope so. David did okay in that contest.

Yep, knocked him the fuk out!

 

[MissKate]

Some of those young guys have gf experience in reserve grade previously

 

[Tragic Eagle]

This side won't be overawed by the occasion. Provided they can play error free football we win.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Big task for those young guys although with it being at Sunshine Coast Stadium it’s not like it’s in Melbourne in front of 20,000 rabid Storm fans , so the pressure might not be quite as great.

 

[manlyfan76]

The Young'uns have a very different outlook these days.

Not like old days.

 

[AlxFromNthNarra]

Given how exciting the team is playing, I'm thinking we might even get some solid crowd support?

Be great to have a 'home ground advantage' atmosphere against the minor premiers

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

I wonder - those Storm players have won so much, could they really be totally 'up' for the game?
Obviously they are totally professional but could be a little bit 'Ho Hum, here we are another minor premiership, another GF'.
They also lose some GFs, but must be so hard to get yourself focussed again and again, would be great if they emotionally exhausted themselves with their attempt at the winning streak record.

Do you know which current players heading into the finals if any have played more finals then DCE? I’d assume Finucane has him beat.
