And we have our team of reporters covering both sides. First in Nick McCallum at Rams House, Nick the team has taken over South Bank, haven't they? They certainly have Laura like you. I'm the former resident of LA, so I've joined the Ramley and we are rampaging here at Rams House out the front of the casino. Now as you can see hundreds have already moved in here. It opened about two o'clock, lots of people from overseas, lots of locals, there's bars, there's food like tacos and burritos and we've got beer pong happening as well. But what we're also got happening here is the great NFL tradition of tailgating. Now to explain that, we have the 2025 Rams fan of the year, Daemon, in and not shall explain tailgating at what it means to you. It means not just to me, but to Ram fans in

general, it's an important part of our society for the NFL. What we do if a game starts at 8am, we line up at, I mean game starts at one, they start opening the gates at eight, we line up at 5.30, we all get in line. They open the gates at eight, we set up our tents, canopies, we start cooking, opposing fans come to our tailgate, as it wallets Ram fans and we're there like six hours before the game starts at one p.m. That's what we love to do, we love to tailgate. It's a tradition at all Rams games, at all NFL games, but especially Rams games and so on. Okay, so Daemon, you've got 20 seconds, convince Melbourneians they've got to support the Rams tomorrow. Matthew Stafford, Miles Garrett, current Williams and the whole Rams organization. That's what we got going on. How much do you hate the 49ers? I despise the 49ers, they're no division, we do not like the 40, don't even say that. You've got your new Australian vesti here in Dail, Dail, why you

barricade for the Rams, what do they mean to you? Well, I made this great guy, yesterday in Southern Cross Station and we just became, we just hit it off like that and he's good to see, we put it, he put me on Instagram and it was such a fantastic thing, but the Rams welcoming, they're very, very friendly club and they got a great history, 1937, they went to LA, St Louis back to LA and have a look at a round here, it is absolutely fantastic. All Melbourneians should be getting on the bandwagon and going for blue and yellow tomorrow at the MCG, we'll be there. Okay, and just finally give us the Rams chant. Whose house? Rams house! Whose house? Rams house! Whose house? Rams house! Never leave a Rams, thanks to you, Nick McCallum, we're going to go to
