In a first for the Blues, internet bloggers were invited to cover the Club's final training session ahead of Sunday's elimination final against the Bombers.

After receiving hundreds of entries to be a part of the day, five bloggers from various backgrounds were chosen to capture the feeling amongst the players and its supporters.

The bloggers varied in age and writing experience but each shared a deep love of the Navy Blue jumper. One of the bloggers, Sean Chapman, had recently returned from a ten-year stint in the United States and another, Claire Bella, was about to witness her first final as a Blues supporter.

The five were taken on a tour of the club facilities and watched training at ground level; a privilege usually only enjoyed by staff and injured players.

Below are the links to their articles on the weekend's events. They will continue to update their blogs throughout the 2011 finals series with news from around the club.
