They are both rallying the digital fans for the big battle at the MCG on Sunday with a friendly competition on the big three platforms – Facebook, YouTube & Twitter.

With over 200,000 Facebook fans, 20,000 Twitter followers between them & fans jumping on board with newly formed YouTube channels expect to see both teams trending on Sunday.

Here is the team's initial call to fans to fire up, stay tuned over the weekend for more action from both teams.
