Played at yarra yarra about 3 weeks ago and absolutely loved it. Not only a great course but it just seemed to really suit my shape.
Probably my most favorite I've played at amongst many I'd say.
Will be a lot better when the Santa Ana program comes to fruition (probably another 3-5 years until it takes over as the dominant playing surface). Also the course will be undergoing some restorative works with Tom Doak's mob the architects. Exciting stuff.... but not as exciting as the next 48 hours for the Tigers!

Still finding it hard to comprehend we are in the GF. All of the media is about us and Adelaide and I find myself feeling guilty about it for some reason....

Picked up my tickets today. Cant wait to be there when they bounce the ball.
How do you think your nerves will be on the day:oops:. All exciting for you guys not having been there for so long. Lap it all up as you never know how long it will be before you get back - we Eagle supporters know all about this!

They can't even be serious about potentially losing.
If people think the media here are talking us up
(Mind you most seem to be tipping Adelaide)
Then make no mistakes it is ******* fever pitch in SA.
People are excited about a massive Vic club making its first GF in 35 years....that doesnt equate to a guaranteed victory. Outside of KB and Mick Molloy nobody is celebrating a premature victory. Just participation.
Let's enjoy it.

See this is what i don't get, Victorian media aren't allowed to talk up the victorian team, but south australian media is allowed to talk up the south australian team.

Trust me, vic media think adelaide will win but they want us to win. We're also allowed to be parochial you know!

Who is the guy in the adelaide guernsey on The Front Bar?
Fitzy!!! Ryan Fitzgerald. Played a few games for Adelaide and Sydney. He became a bit of a celebrity on Big Brother.
Did you hear when they asked him who they thought Adelaide should play on Dusty? "Kim Jong Un." :D

Make no mistake about it. Anybody who accuses/has accused us of 'getting ahead of ourselves' has tall poppy syndrome. Its ridiculous. Media are enthrawled with us like they were the Doggies. Its a great story. Nobody thinks we should be favourites and not Adelaide.
